Tastykake, manufacturers of numerous kinds of prepackaged snack foods, could be forced to sell or merge after a newly opened factory failed to generate the hoped-for savings. Krimpets, Kandy Kakes, Koffee Kakes, and Kreamies could all be put on the chopping block. And I don’t know if you’re aware, but those kinds of snacks do better in your tummy than on a chopping block.
Are you a Tastykake fan worried about what this might mean for the future of your plastic-wrapped treats? Then why haven’t you been buying more? Flagellate yourself in the comments.

We don’t have Tastykake here. It must be a regional thing. We have Little Debbie’s. I would buy some if we had them!
Good Riddance. Tasty Kakes always tasted stale and crumbly to me (compared to Hostess and Dolly Madison)
I’m not sure how…Tastykakes are made fresh, and only have a shelf life of around 3 weeks…compared to Little Debbies or whatever, which could sit on the shelves for months before they need to be taken off.
