How do you like the Kraken? I just tried the new Captain Morgan's Black and it was pretty good.

I figured the local Whole Foods might carry something equivalent, so I made a stop during my lunch hour. In the space of five minutes, I saw four different brunettes wearing minor variations of the same black yoga leggings, boots, and a long-sleeved, bluish-purple ensemble top.
Which, lacking Starfleet Academy insignias, is actually quite eery. I paid cash and got out of there.

Can't say as I disagree.

Somebody will pick up the product brand, though. Hostess may have fallen on hard times, but their brands have got to have some profit left in them.

They're owned by venture capital firms now; unfortunately they get their payday either way. In fact, by liquidating they probably get an early payoff, for less effort than it would've taken to turn the company around.

In 2004 their workers agreed to a pay cut with the savings supposed to go to major infrastructure upgrades like new equipment etc. Instead, it wasn't and now they are asking for another paycut. I'm glad the workers said no, striked, and I'm glad this garbage company is going under as a result. Hope those at the top are hurting real bad. Jerkoffs.

Did you bring that issue to the attention of a manager? Whole Foods might actually be the kind of place that would listen.

So, at one point they gave us all two samples of Bud, one that was a fresh beer, and one that was skunked. Me and one other guy in the class actually preferred the skunked Budweiser to the fresh Budweiser, and said so. The facilitator of the "class" was not amused.
