Say goodbye to Twinkies

First the plant did not have 18k, they are spread out all over the nation. Second they can start a small bakery and work their way up. Maybe a few grand down on a lease for a building and buy some equipment at auction. I cant think of any product that started huge and hoped they had a market. One location and as demand goes you go.

commerical baking equipment will cost them 10s of thousands of dollars, lets say they can get used equipment at 10% the cost of new equpiment (highly unlikely though) so 4 K down for lease 4 K for super duper bargin euqupiment, throw in 2 K for pots pans and ingrediants, maybe some bare budget signage, a little flier advertising, lets throw out a ridiculous low ball number of 10K.

Assume you can start a bakery for 10K how many $12 an hour factory employees do you think would consider that "pocket change"?

You are completely disconnected from reality.

At that leaves nothing for slow months to cover utlities and the lease payment, so your hotcakes better sell like hotcakes right out the gate.
