Hostess gets the Bain Capital treatment.

2. As much as I miss Hostess,

even I was disgusted at how the only thing most Americans were talking about was how they couldn't have any more Twinkies, Cupcakes, Suzy Qs, etc. ever again. That company was clearly hostile to unions and didn't want to play fair with its employees, yet very few people in the media and elsewhere really seemed to give a rat's ass. The talk of the town was how people had one less stop to go to for sweets, never mind the fact that there is still Little Debbie's.
I'll tell you one thing, though--if Hostess were to successfully make a comeback, I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to eat another product from them again without feeling a little bit of guilt.
