Today is the 75th birthday of the Twinkie. 
I thought you’d like to know.
They can’t be that good. Avanutria hasn’t been bemoaning the fact that she can’t get them over here. 
That’s cos I can - www.cybercandy.com - but I don’t care for them. Hostess Devil Dogs, on the other hand, will be in my suitcase come June if they sell them in New England. I have to remember to put them on my list when I get home.
Here’s a birthday present:
I actually brought a box of these back from the States last year.
Like most of the foodstuffs I tried, somehow they didn’t seem half as appetising after I’d unpacked them as they had in the States, and eventually I threw the lot out. None of my work colleagues were very impressed with them either.

I’ll bet that original Twinkie is still around too - you know that stuff doesn’t have a shelf-life, it has a half-life!!!
(don’t EVER try the “low fat” Twinkies - those are NASTY!)

Oh yeah, they sell them in New England. Trust me on this, I know of what I speak.
All the Best, Tom
I’m fairly certain longevity experiments have been performed with good, but disconcerting, results
…
It’s also the 26th birthday of the “Twinkie Defense.”
I agree.
Call me slow… Fly, I thought you’d be announcing your 75th! Now that will be cause to celebrate! You never know how old people are from their avatar.
I hope in another three decades to be able to state that I haven’t touched a Twinkie in 75 years!
Jennie
Duh. I feel so stupid.
I somehow didn’t notice Beth’s links, and I thought Twinkie was a person. 
I don’t know if I’ve ever eaten those or not. I probably did when I was younger.
THEY’RE CRUEL AND EVIL.
Eh? Did ya say old people don’t have a car? 
You can check the cutie-pie thread to see the real me.
Twinkies are fun to put in the microwave 
Hmm, I’ve never microwaved a twinkie. I have seen firsthand what happens to a microwaved egg, though. When we got our first microwave my mom insisted on trying it out because she heard that the egg would explode. It did.
