" It was decided late Monday that Hostess, iconic, artery-clogging American brand, and the Twinkies you hated buying for your kids, are worth $410 million, at least to Metropoulos &amp;amp;amp; Co., the people who own PBR. Here&amp;#039;s Dean Metropoulos with a statement: &amp;quot;Our family is thrilled to have the opportunity to reestablish these iconic brands with new creative marketing ideas and renewed sales efforts and investment,&amp;quot; said Metropoulos. &amp;quot;We look forward to having America&amp;#039;s favorite snacks back on the shelf by this summer. We are also ecstatic to bring jobs back to many cities across the country.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s good news for the 18,500 employees who were put out of work when Hostess filed for bankruptcy in November. And, for the time being at least, the horrific cycle of American Twinkie-eating can commence again. We might have to contend with the possibility that Twinkie-flavored PBR could wind up being someone&amp;#039;s terrible idea. That&amp;#039;s just a bridge we&amp;#039;ll cross when we get there.
