I’ve heard about Carl’s Jr Strawberry Pop-Tarts Ice Cream Sandwich for quite some times and finally I got one.
This post is not brought to you by Carl’s Jr. because they do not pay me every time I mentioned it.
Does it have electrolyte, the one thing that plants crave?
This was the bowl of granola I had for breakfast.
UPDATE:
This picture is now featured at Sconeage.com, where I got the granola from.

One thing I like about Jack In The Box is their commercial. They have one of the best ad agency around.
The latest ad is definitely suggestive and still funny. I feel like “Staxting” right now.
I ran out of ideas for today, so here’s cheesecake that looked like Pac-Man in disguise.

Hostess Brands is Closed.
From the Press Release:
Irving, TX – November 16, 2012 – Hostess Brands Inc. today announced that it is winding down operations and has filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court seeking permission to close its business and sell its assets, including its iconic brands and facilities. Bakery operations have been suspended at all plants. Delivery of products will continue and Hostess Brands retail stores will remain open for several days in order to sell already-baked products.
First thing comes to mind, “Oh Your God, does this mean no more Twinkies?”
Continuing on the Press Release:
The Board of Directors authorized the wind down of Hostess Brands to preserve and maximize the value of the estate after one of the Company’s largest unions, the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM), initiated a nationwide strike that crippled the Company’s ability to produce and deliver products at multiple facilities.
On Nov. 12, Hostess Brands permanently closed three plants as a result of the work stoppage. On Nov. 14, the Company announced it would be forced to liquidate if sufficient employees did not return to work to restore normal operations by 5 p.m., EST p.m., Nov. 15. The Company determined on the night of Nov. 15 that an insufficient number of employees had returned to work to enable the restoration of normal operations.
The BCTGM in September rejected a last, best and final offer from Hostess Brands designed to lower costs so that the Company could attract new financing and emerge from Chapter 11. Hostess Brands then received Court authority on Oct. 3 to unilaterally impose changes to the BCTGM’s collective bargaining agreements.
Basically Hostess Brands is saying that the Union kills the company.
When asked about this story, one person said: “They will either go through corporate restructure or sell of the company, There will still be Twinkies.”
Continuing on the Press Release:
In addition to dozens of baking and distribution facilities around the country, Hostess Brands will sell its popular brands, including Hostess®, Drakes® and Dolly Madison®, which make iconic cake products such as Twinkies®, CupCakes, Ding Dongs®, Ho Ho’s®, Sno Balls® and Donettes®. Bread brands to be sold include Wonder®, Nature’s Pride ®, Merita®, Home Pride®, Butternut®, and Beefsteak®, among others.
The wind down means the closure of 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers, approximately 5,500 delivery routes and 570 bakery outlet stores throughout the United States.
Anyone living in the United States today have had at least one of the Hostes Brands products in their life, if not regularly.
Jack in the Box is getting even more awesome since they’re bringing back Chili Cheese Seasoned Curly Fries.
