That said, sometimes I really do miss cramming Twinkies down my piehole. Then I remember how miserable I felt in those days and stop myself.

I laughed out loud, twice. Fine work. (Perceived sanity from perspective of my housemates – not so high).

We don’t have Twinkies over here.

Not as food, anyway.

I think Twinkies would be ideal for things like future Mars expeditions, since they’re simply stuffed full of chemicals. Patter a couple of billion Twinkies over Mars before the astronauts arrive. They could be a ready source of chemicals for all sorts of essential manufacturing needs.

Not food, of course. They’d need food for that.

Did you take a bite out of the twinkie and place it on the asphalt for the photo?

Crystal, Jack Lalane is right with that saying!

We all know Junk food tastes good, but NOT good for you.

I’d rather eat healthy food that makes you feel good “healthwise” rather than eating junk food that makes you feel good “emotionaly.”

As Carl Sagan said, “We are all star stuff!”

(He also said “The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent.” But then he hadn’t met the important people at Hostess).

BTW, I hope you didn’t actually bite into that Twinkie, or if you did, that you promptly spat out the contents into a waste receptacle, where they belong.

My sibs and I all hated Twinkies as kids, and so did our friends. We liked cupcakes and loved Ding Dongs best and couldn’t figure out who actually bought and ate Twinkies. Strange how we detected a clear taste difference since they’re all pretty much made with the same ingredients. Mom’s cakes and cookies were no better – all made with cupfuls of pure trans-fatty Crisco, which she still uses today. Luckily, my family was working poor, and sweets were a rare treat when we were growing up.
