Twinkie the Kid Becoming a Vaquero?

Twinkie-UnemployedWith the liquidation of the Hostess company now approved through bankruptcy courts, the question now becomes when and where and not if Hostess’ iconic brands will once again grace shelves. The problem is that the issues which initially led to the liquidation and bankruptcy still exist. Remember, it was a dispute with the baker’s union after Hostess had successfully stared down the Teamsters (once headed up by Jimmy Hoffa).

Jimmy-HoffaAs a matter of fact, Hoffa might be found before Twinkies are produced again… in America. The fact of the matter is that luscious addictive goodies can be produced much easier south of the border and we are not just discussing cocaine either. Mexico is non-unionized and has a plethora of cheap sugar production.

No, we are not entirely sure what a plethora is either. Luckily, we do not have a gun-toting mad man in front of us asking the question.We assume that plethora means ‘a lot.’ It also means that like a lot of originally American products, Twinkies will probably be made, produced and profited down in Old Mexico.

If all of this seems a bit fast and furious, then know that it has been a continuing trend for decades. There is little to no word on whether this would actually change the name of Twinkie the Kid to Pancho Twinkie. We can only rely on imagination as to what the new symbol might look like.

Mostly, people just seem to care that Twinkies are coming back. They don’t seem to care how they arrive back to local grocery stores. We do know that there will be a spirited auction between various factions for the rights to the brand. However, if even on some level, stoners can get drugs and Twinkies from the same place, then the entire world is inching towards a greater level of convenience.
