With the news of the closing of Hostess, does it mean the end of some of these delicacies?

The Wonder Hostess Bakery Thriftshop is shown
at the Utah Hostess plant in Ogden, Utah,
Thursday, Nov. 15, 2012. Hostess Brands Inc. is
warning striking employees that it will move to
liquidate the company if plant operations don't
return to normal levels by Thursday evening.
The maker of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder
Bread said Thursday it will file a motion in
U.S. Bankruptcy Court to shutter operations if
enough workers don't return by 5 p.m. EST. That
would result in the loss of about 18,000 jobs,
including hundreds in Ogden. (AP Photo/Rick
