It’s said that two things may survive a nuclear blast.
1) Cockroaches
2) Twinkies
We all remember Disney’s Wall-E, right? Humans trash the planet and only one roach survives. It’s fed Twinkies by a trash crunching robot.
Turns out Disney’s projection of the future was wrong.
It wasn’t overpopulation or pollution that killed the Twinkie. It wasn’t a nuclear blast.
Turns out it was a union. Watch out roaches. You’re next.

**Note, the demise of Hostess is a complex problem involving the increasing awareness of our own mortality, obesity the actions of the 1%, and of course– unions. This post is solely intends to promote the future well being of roaches, whose sole future sustenance is now in question not because of our bad housekeeping or potential warmongering, but because of our limited understanding of economics. Please discuss. Think of the (roach) children.
The death of the Twinkie will be society having healthy diets for once.
Here’s a fantastic essay addressing the question in the story’s title. It’s an ugly story, but one worth knowing — especially as a horrifically run and viciously rotten company tries to shift blame for its demise this morning onto the union bakers whom it was ripping off.

Time to be smart consumers of information as well as of food.
