They Killed the Twinkie!

[manicmike]

I can guarantee you that hostess will sell the Twinkie brand as part of its bankruptcy process. If it has any value, and obviously the Twinkie rand name has some, it gets sold in bankruptcy proceedings.

This.

Meh. I quit eating them when they came out with Fat-Free Twinkies. Seriously, fat-free TWINKIES??? What a moronic concept!
Admittedly though, it's not quite as stupid as the Fat-Free Half 'n' Half my sister-in-law bought. Isn't one of the "halves" ALL about FAT?? So now it's just "Half 'n' "

We would call that 'milk' in these parts.

Good thing is if you stock up twinkies now, it will probably last you a life time without going bad.

What's a Twinkie?

Quick, someone do a self-portrait in utter despair sitting next to an empty Twinkie wrapper.

What's a Twinkie?

It is an American snack "cake"....basically, a spongy, yellow-ish, very sugary, soft, fluffly "cake" piece, shaped in a somewhat hotdog-bun-like shape, rounded on the top, but flat on the bottom, with a center core that has been injection-filled with a light, sweet, fluffy filling similar to whipped cream and sugar...it comes wrapped in a see-thru cellophane wrapper, and keeps well when not refrigerated, under basically, I swear, any temperature from 10- below freezing to 109 degrees Farenheit, based on my own,personal experience...

Twinkies from the Margaret Thatcher era (meaning, quite possibly from before your birth year, Overread!) would PROBABLY be edible, I would venture to say. And no, I am NOT kidding.

The Twinkie is a mixture of American folklore, American industrial foodstuff technology, injection filling, mass-marketing, and garbage food marketing. To a four-, to nine year-old boy, the Twinkie represents the absolute pinnacle of American snack cake technology,creativity, and deliciousness. For those older than nine, the Twinkie represents decadence, artificiality, guilty pleasure, and shame. All in about equal measure.

The Twinkie is the Kim Kardashian of the American snack food scene...everybody wants her, or wants to be like her, but NOBODY will actually admit that...

I don't know man Derrel. To me Twinkie is more like Snooki.

The lies Americans tell themselves....


But honestly, Twinkie is the last food product I think actually needs human workers to produce.

I'll probably force myself to eat a Twinkie in homage but nobody could force me to get with Kim K. or Snooki. The Twinkie I could keep down, those two chicks make me want to vomit.

I think I read somewhere that the Twinkies won an award from an industry group for the best "non-food petrochemical byproduct concoction, er, creation". Or it could have been something I saw in a nightmare after eating too much...
