          INT. PRESS CONFERENCE - DAY

          A HOSTESS EXEC steps out on stage behind a hostess podium.

                              HOSTESS EXEC
                    On behalf of Hostess Brands, I'm
                    sorry to announce that the union
                    has rejected our negotiations. In
                    response, we has no choice but to
                    close our plants and halt
                    production immediately.

          Reporters clamor. Exec motions for silence.

                              HOSTESS EXEC
                    These are good, American brands,
                    and it's sad to see them go. But we
                    have officially ceased production
                    of...

          As Hostess Exec names the products, screen widens to allow
          product images to appear next to him.

                    until then, I've got the last box
                    of Grundle Wizards here!

          Hostess Exec PULLS A BOX OF GRUNDLE WIZARDS from behind
          podium. Reports ERUPT into clamor.
