This time Adkins has gone to far

I read this today in the WSJ.

This company has been slowly marching toward bankruptcy for years. I am sure Atkins just sped up the process.

To me this is less troubling than the decline in beer sales.
I guess I am not a twinkie or wonder bread man.

I just read your post.
Be careful there my friend. Tobacco and cigarette sales pump a huge amount of tax dollars into each state.

I sell software and many of my customers handle these products. Between WalMart and the government you are looking at putting 1200 companies out of business.

I do not smoke.

The funniest thing I've ever seen regarding the Atkins diet is at our local Kroger. At the pharmacy, they have a bookshelf. On the bookshelf are copies of Atkins' book about his diet. Right next to those are books on reversing heart disease. :)

When generic cupe cakes taste as good as their more expensive brand, you know trouble is comming... I hope the generic's don't raise their prices.

I wonder if a takeout firm will take the gamble that this atkins fad will die off and they will be able to buy a great brand name for pennies on the dollar...

I used to smoke and I am the proverbial "Ex-smokers are the worst". My wife still smokes. I smell it on my kids, on me and in the cars and house. It makes me ill to smell it now.

But back on topic... Sayonara Twinkies.
