This caused the well known Twinkies and Wonder Bread brands to be lost to the public, as the company was forced to file bankruptcy protection.
They changed their recipe to try to make their products have a longer Shelf life which caused the Wonder Bread to be gummy and collapse. They also cut down on Deliveries which kept store shelfs bare and untidy.

So far I identified in part this falls into the “Investment Trap” but what else am I failing to identify?
