Don’t be a Ding Dong, Twinkies will not go away

Regarding the Great Twinkie Disappearance of 2012: doughnut despair.

My Spidey Sense tells me that Hostess and the associated brands (Twinkie, Ding Dongs, etc.) along with the recipes are too valuable to simply go away. Too much demand.

There will be a period of time while the current Hostess shuts down, but also expect that some entity will buy these assets and bring back Twinkies, etc.

I would also expect the new company not to hire union bakers.
