Twinkies Cannot Die: Hostess Bosses, Union in Mediation Talks After a strike by its union, bankrupt Hostess Brands announced last week it would go out of business . Boxes of Twinkies are now up for sale on Craigslist and eBay for thousands of dollars apiece. But yesterday, a judge asked both sides to try mediation .

Tiffany Tsu is business reporter for the Los Angeles Times .
