Supposedly they're gonna sell the Twinkie license to some other company. The rest of their products will likely be gone though.

No more Ding Dongs or Zingers. :(

They are doing this to bury the union.  Sell the company and all of its key assets to a holding company unentangled by union obligations (read pensions), who can then re-open the same factories and brands with a lower cost base. 

This will create the opportunity for free publicity ala New Coke.  Americans LOVE their junk food brands almost as much as they resist universal healthcare.

I had half of one once.  I never passed it, and plan to carry it with me to my grave.  They are revolting.
