Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

Twinkies have an expiration date, you know. One big reason we have a good standard of living in the US is because the US is the world's breadbasket. Food manufacturers get their supplies cheap, because all the food is grown here. China can't manufacture things like this, takes them a week to ship a barge across the ocean, plus, the twinkies would sit in port for a week or so while the ship is being loaded. Not profitable to ship perishable food items from overseas. |

Besides, they only shut down the US plants, it is still being made in Canada. |

All those stupid people paying out their ass for twinkies, they're gonna kick themselves when they're back out on the shelves. The world is not running as it once ran. I doubt anyone is going to start putting these out very soon. Hell we still have Bufferin off the shelves and only got Excedrin Migraine back about a week ago. Yeah, different situation, but things are working differently. This company was in business for 82 years. Nope, I would enjoy Ho-Ho's while you can. For many things in America now, there is no going back. Businesses and restaurants, some operating for over 50 years, have closed up in my town. Places we knew we could get a good meal at an affordable price. Heck, when cash is low we split a Denny's grand slam here. That's going up too. Everyone thinks everything will be okay. It will not. Hostess is just one more example of how the unions have helped destroy this country. It's not funny. We are all screwed. Impeach Obama. Let's see him where he deserves to be - behind bars. |

That's deep. I never thought of it that way. Nobody is even making a point. You just made one from thin air about what I said. You don't even really have a point to make, because I wasn't trying to make one either. I'm just trying to bring a little awareness out there about what's in Twinkies, and I displayed that I was a little surprised that nobody noticed. Then here you come. When people say "Oh I loved those. The Ding Dongs were so good," I hear involuntarily in my own mind "God, I loved being so stupid poisoning myself with this garbage, ah the memories of how dumb I am, being a kid was great." I can't help it. The whole discussion is steered towards nostalgia of a shitty product and it speaks volumes about everyone who is participating in it. You can choose to be stupid and say stupid things if you feel that's your prerogative. Others will respond accordingly. Yeah I said "their" in my earlier post. That was stupid too, but it was an accident. |
