It's unfortunate all the way around; bad for the employees mostly. One of the plants is only an hour from here. Personally, though, I hate Twinkies and Wonder Bread. The first thing I thought of, though, when I heard the news, is that fact that Twinkies are a prop in the play Best Christmas Pageant Ever, which I have directed twice - LeRoy Herdman steals two Twinkies from Charlie and eats them onstage. It's a pretty iconic product to make it by name into a popular children's book and play. The last time I directed the play I even put a loaf of Wonder Bread on stage in Mrs. Bradley's grocery bag. Alas.
