My son had his first and last Twinkie ever tonight.

[Mark Wein]

He wanted to try one at Mrs W picked up a box. At first he loved it and then almost immediately got sick to his stomach. This is a kid that refuses to eat at McDonald's because he watched videos of how the food was made (including the pink slime). He tried it, got sick and then after reading the ingredients has sworn off Twinkies too. Best $3 my wife ever spent.

Even Jack won't touch one:

Funny, when I read the ingredients, it just said delicious.

I recently tried a Twinkie for the first time in perhaps 20 or 30 years. Did they always taste stale and nasty?

I think if you took grandma's homemade strawberry shortcake and listed the ingredients in legally-required form, it might look a bit scary.

The main differences would probably be the preservatives. Not that those are good things -- just kind of necessary for packaged long shelf-life products.

He needs to try a pre-CBS Twinkie.

Stale? Never.

Nasty? Always.

It would probably still be fresh.

after the end times, all that will be left will be cockroaches and twinkies (at least my view of science fiction).

I lol'd at the Jack pic...

Pick up some asparagus....

Not for Jack though because he's a carnivore....

So... What are you going to do with the rest of the box?

 

[blind radish]

He needed to wash it down with chocolate milk!

 

[Tig]

Great news! I didn't know they made kids that smart anymore.

 

[tiger roach]

Hilarious. He may grow up to be a wine-and-cheese guy. We will be following his career with interest!

Trash.

I fucking love Twinkies! I don't care what's in 'em; I love 'em. Hostess Cupcakes too--both the chocolate and the vanilla ones with the orange frosting. Oh, and the little Crumb Cakes and Donette Gems. Ding-Dings and Ho-Hos too.

Then you must have tried the pumpkin spice Twinkies last month.

They taste much better than they sound, but that still might be in the nasty category for some.

I like most Hostess products. Of course I was raised in an age where you got maybe on or two a year instead of every day.

I used to like the crumb donette gems until they started re-producing them after the shut-down. I think they lost the recipe for the good ones and replaced it with a recipe in which all the crumb donettes come out of the factory soggy and greasy. I don't eat them any more.

Vanilla Zingers? Oh, yeah! Good stuff and healthy too!
