Around 0:27. Speaking of redundancy, IBC not only owns Hostess and Dolly, but Wonder and Drake's. With all of these famous brands, you'd think the company would be doing better... In late 2004 Interstate received bankruptcy court permission to use the $200 million in financing it obtained from J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. to reorganize. In January 2005 the SEC began a formal investigation regarding how Interstate set its workers' compensation and other reserves. Still posting losses, IBC was granted filing extension by the bankruptcy court in January 2007. With the approval of the bankruptcy court, the company hired a permanent CEO: Craig Jung, who previously served as CEO of Panamerican Beverages.

Their products are still prominent in the South. Doesn't it seem kinda redundant for IBC to own Hostess AND Dolly though? They seem to offer most of the same junk food. I know Dolly Madison well.
