    Rip nothing a Company from Mexico is looking at buying them........
    Just so you know, the largest bread bakeries in the US are owned by a Mexican company - BIMBO.

      Similar logo and color scheme to WonderBread too, won't even have to repaint the trucks. That 8% give back is going to look real good in few months.

            They have been "mediating" for the better part of 10 years or more.

            My buddy who set me up with the 4BT Grumman Bread truck (which was a clownish-looking WonderBread truck) had nearly 20 years in with them.

            I can't say their name, as it changed about every 16 months. WonderBread, Hostess, Interstate Brands, this investment group and that investment group. The money keeps flowing in and the bucket ends up empty again.

            I'll take odds on it getting broken up. Mediation has no chance of success here.

              never say never, there are always tax-payer funded bail out monies when campaign contributions are at stake.

                      I knew this all seemed deja vu.
                      I was akid in southern new england, my mother wanting part time avoided the hostess job because of the retarded union games. threaten this, threaten that..

                      of course, I was a kid when u.s. steel packed up so asia could conquer us with the plastic, bacause steel is dangerous, rare and exotic.

                      like an ebay twinkie today.

                      hahaha.
                      steel = ebay twinkie.
