America as we know and love it is nearing its end
: Hostess, maker of Wonder Bread and Twinkies, is facing insolvency.
What could be more American? Hell, I am Wonder Bread. And proud of it.
And when I was TV critic of TV Guide, I called shows “twinkie” so often, my editor made me stop.
Forget preserving landmarks and open space and the odd toad. We must preserve Wonder Bread and Twinkies!
How will we know what to do when Mother says “yes”? (When I yes, it’s Hostess Twinkies and Fruit Pies.)
Atkins is smiling in his grave.
Blame Atk.ins! He can’t argue back. You show signs of age when you wax romantic about that crap stuff–ah, the good old days.
I think that minx Little Debbie has something to do with this.
A) That’s what they get for production cutbacks on Chocodiles (you can’t get them outside Calif.). Bastards.
B) Everything else they make can be replaced with far superior stuff made by Tastykake and Drake’s.
C) Little Debbie is a skank.
DON’T YOU GO TALKIN’ ABOUT MY WOMAN LIKE THAT!!!
We must preserve Wonder Bread and Twinkies!
Further preservation is unnecessary—they already have an infinite shelf-life!
If you keep a twinkie long enough, the cream inside fermemts into a tasty liqour…
That’s what they get for production cutbacks on Chocodiles (you can’t get them outside Calif.). Bastards.
I swore I just saw them in the store here in Arizona the other day… if they are not there anymore I will weep like a woman. BASTARDS!
When I read your post, I thought “Interstate Bakeries.” Yep, turns out they are the makers of Twinkies.
They are also a corrupt corporation. Another American Icon bites the dust because of corporate greed. Search on Interstate Bakeries. It is not a pretty picture.
Another strike at John Edwards and trial lawyers everywhere–no more “Twinkie Defense.”
