In honor of the lowly Twinkie

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Is it wrong that since hearing they were no longer available, I've been wanting one?

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Not wrong, but I don't remember them being very good anyway. A long time ago, I used to like the Zingers, which were basically Twinkies with icing on them, but now they just seem gross. For years I have seen the raspberry Zingers in stores and felt somewhat tempted to buy them, but I don't think I've actually had one in over 20 years.

Stop worrying! Your northern neighbours will look after you!

In Canada Twinkies are produced by a completely different company that is alive and well.

We'll gladly export them to you. Of course any price increase won't be gouging, just simple supply and demand... we would never even think of raising prices just be we can.

Want a Twinkie? How much you got?

Oh, and thanks, Wendy. The T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project is pretty funny.

Webpages like this make me miss college.

Then, I very suddenly come to my senses, and am once again so much happier to be out in the real world.

Ironically, I'm sitting here looking at one right now. I bought it and studied it for 2 days now and still can't bring myself to open it.

My reality and yours are quite different.

That's OK, you can stare at it for the next 100 years, and nothing will have changed. You have plenty of time to decide.

I did not see anything in the graphic about top or bottom Twinkies at all.... not a thing.

It's important to keep track of these kinds of things.
