  • Support per my own nomination: "Old HB" was a name adopted after the company was already bankrupt and liquidating. Out of the 4 names this company has had, "Old HB" is probably the least-recognized. It started as Interstate Bakeries Corporation, then at some point became Interstate Brands, then only a few years before bankruptcy became Hostess Brands, then went bankrupt and had its legal name changed to "Old HB, Inc." as an afterthought. Most people are going to call this business either "Interstate Bakeries Corporation", "Interstate Bakeries", or at least "Interstate Brands", and Hostess Brands was a name re-used by one of the later companies that bought some of this company's assets. --Closeapple (talk) 08:10, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
