By 'vintage' I hope you mean so we can tell the good years from the more normal years, and the dreaded bad years.

Chances are they will not have you reached their expiration date.

Today I noticed that the vending machine at work still has one package of Dolly Madison Zingers (Twinkies by another name, also made by Hostess). They've loaded Tastykakes behind it in the row. Despite common perception I don't think they'd last very long in storage. The sell-by date is only a couple of weeks out.

Yeah, but I've seen people sell 20 year old boxes of Wheaties. I assume the bag would be full of dead weevils or something. You know someone thinks they've stumbled onto a gold mine!

As is turned out Management won, labor lost, recipes will be sold, another company will be in the business of supplying Ding Dongs, Ho Ho's, and Twinkies in the future and life will return to a new state of "normal" whatever that might be...and the capitalist wheel keeps grinding away... I'd say that's a good summary. The only thing I'd add here is that the courts really failed to make a sufficient effort to look after the interests of workers and shareholders. The shareholders lost out of this, too. However, aside from management getting away with it, it's hard for me to care otherwise. I've not eaten a Hostess product in 20 years.

And with the final word going to "The Fuzzy" I would love to declare but will only suggest that we all get off this horse and back to food.

Jean,
Before I clicked the link, I had a horrible vision of 2 dozen twinkies, glued together with supermarket frosting and jammed into a bundt pan.
