NORTHWOOD -- As promised, the CEO of Hostess Brands went to court to file for bankruptcy.

The game of chicken between strikers and the company now leaves 18,300 employees, nearly 200 here in Northwest Ohio without a job and customers with questions about the future of their favorite snacks.

"I hope that they give their recipes or whatever they do to another company that can pick up where they left off," says Hostess customer Carolyn Duybala.

The company says they will sell popular brands like Twinkies, Ding Dongs, and Ho Ho's.
