This cartoon was not intentionally timed to correspond to this news, but it works.→[More:]
Interesting detail about the sale of Hostess Brands to a partnership of two (assumedly solvent) investment firms, one which owns Pabst and the other which owns Carls Jr./Hardees.
The cross-marketing possibilities are hilarious: PBR-filled Twinkies? Western Bacon Cupcakes? (Carls already has some dubious menu items including a 'Teriyaki Burger' with pineapple and mayonnaise) Eagerly awaiting the Six Dollar Ding-Dong.

I have nothing to add to this except to say that "six dollar ding dong" sounds like something you'd ask for in a dubious massage parlor.

I prefer to think it has something to do with backstage shenanigans on "The Six Million Dollar Man."

The phrase is so full of comedy I really want to find something for it, like an episode of Bob's Burger's or something.
