Sunbeam
Pete, Sunbeam is baked by Perfection Bakeries (Aunt Millie's), and is available at Meijer and Kroger in this area. The quality of Aunt Millie's products seems to be higher than most of the other breads. I most often get the Whole Grain Honey White.
I never did like Wonder Bread, didn't care for something about the texture of it. My mom hardly ever bought it; we usually got Butternut or Rainbo instead. Never did eat Ding-Dongs, but did like the Hostess Snowballs. Haven't had them in many years. When I eat cake, I want it to be really good cake, so usually make at home.

Sunbeam Bread
During the early 1960s, Sunbeam bread advertised being "batter whipped" and having fine texture and no holes. Television advertisements were shown having Mixmaster model 12 and others using a GE model 25. The red background of the bread wrapper had an outline of a model 9 MixMaster. It was rumored that Sunbeam Appliances objected to the use of their mixer on the bread wrapper. The outline on the mixer on bread wrappers was discontinued.

I found an Sunbeam bread advertisement having a Sunbeam model 11 on the kitchen counter and a Dormeyer "Princess" mixer whipping batter.

I always have been recently spoiled with Rotella's italian bread. I used to have to eat Wonder Bread. Euch! Nasty stuff!
I never did enjoy their little treats, but it is such a huge company, would never have thought they would go bankrupt.

It's been so long since I had Wonder Bread that I can't even remember having it. All I really remember dates back to when I was in elementary school. I was, at times, a picky eater, and I think bread was one of the "problem" foods.
In any case, one night an ad came on TV for Wonder Bread. I can't remember it, but I do remember the impression it gave me--all kids just love it! I turned to my mother, and suggested we might try Wonder Bread. She told me that we already had, and that I'd hated it.
So much for the wonders of Wonder Bread.

Who thinks "Hoho's, Dingdongs, and Snowballs" sounds like a porno title?
As for the products, good riddance. Times change. Keep up or you will be gone.

Years ago when we were growing up our parents didn't worry too much about how bad these baked goods were. After all we were kids and we'd run the calories off. I think most parents bought them as a special treat to be offered only now and then.
And I'm willing to bet that if our mothers knew how bad they were, we wouldn't have gotten them in the first place.
But that was way before dietary labels were put on foods and we were taught how to interpret them. We've come a long way haven't we?

I am shocked
All these comments about living healthier. I really don't believe that many folks are watching what they eat. The problem with junk food is the quantity. You're supposed to eat ONE twinkie for lunch and not the whole darn box! I like knowing that these things are on the shelf. I'd probably hate it if thy "updated" the products to get with the times. After all, most people on this site are behind the times with these ancient appliances.

First, Hostess has all the opportunity in the world to update their products to make them healthier and just as tasty. They haven't done that. Maybe they will do so with this reorg.
Second, the bankruptcy will allow them to renegotiate their contracts and benefits. "Additionally, Hostess employees are unionized while most of its competitors aren't. As a result, Hostess has high pension and medical benefit costs. The company has 19,000 employees and operates in 48 states."
Third, I kinda smell a bailout gift on the horizon: "The Teamsters Union, which represents about 7,500 of Hostess' delivery drivers and merchandisers, said in a statement on Wednesday that it is also committed to working toward a solution."
Last, it appears some good capitalists are keeping the company going: "The Irving, Texas-based company said that it will be able to maintain routine operations thanks to a $75 million financing commitment from a group of lenders led by Silver Point Capital LP."

Some companies have changed recipes on famous items usually to the customers dismay. The trick is to make it healthier than he previous version while maintaining the same taste. And that's a trick in itself.
Honestly, I am definitely eating healthier than I used to years ago. If I want something to snack on it may be a can of mandarin oranges, or some fat free Ritz crackers with a slice of 100% cheese.
