My world might be crubbling

It's a sad dark day for the United States indeed when they have to release news like this...

Workers at Mother's Cookies were told earlier this month that the company is shutting down for good and cookies will no longer be made. Now who's going to make those delicious frosted animal cookies? An American original bites the dust

The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last Monday. Their distribution plants in Ohio and Canada are closed forever. The private equity firm that owned Mother's blamed rising fuel and ingredient prices. (http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272623200.shtml)
