aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!


\everyone make family guy jokes now!

 

[bammo2]

well considering we don't have twinkies over here, I won't pretend to have any form of opinion over this. although I'm sure it is very upsetting for your fellow americans who are fond of their sugary baked goods

 

[Tomer]

isnt that ht ethingies they say are good forever?

 

[nbcrusader]

What do you do with surplus inventory that will last forever.

 

[Tomer]

eat it?

 

[Mr. BAW]

Twinkies was the poor man's Boston Creme pie...now that was a good pie!! (which wasn't really a pie at all!)

 

[ylimeU2]

I don't like twinkies.

And yes, Tomer, they stay good forever, in theory. I wouldn't want to eat a 20 year old twinkie.

 

[Bonochick]

Now I want a Twinkie.

 

[ylimeU2]

A twenty year old twinkie, or do you prefer one that was made recently?

 

[AvsGirl41]

Twinkies....

They are a big treat for me. Perhaps I should have indulged more often.

 

[Tomer]

i never had a twinkie

 

[U2Kitten]

I don't like Twinkies but I like HOHOs and SnoBalls. The pies and cupcakes don't taste as good as they used to I think they changed the recipe. I can't understand why they're going under, their stuff still sells well.

 

[The Sage]

So what exactly are these sugary treats then?

Tooth-rotting bliss in a wrapper.

I saw some urban legends type show not too long ago and they said that it's a myth that a twinkie will last longer than their expiration date on the package... but who knows if that's even true.

I love low fat Twinkies!

 

[luvsU2]

wow i haven't had a twinkie in about 10 years. Wow I have no desire to ever eat one agian. Does anyone remember the ones with the strawberry/whiiped cream filling? I loved those when i was little

we have a hostess/wonder bakery about a block away. several times a day you can smell the bread baking. i guess i need to go over to the bakery more often and buy bread, soda, and fried pies.

p.s. i hate hostess's cream filling...tastykake is better.
