Hostess

[Alfred E. Neuman]

.......could this be the end of Twinkies, Ho-Ho's, Donettes, cupcakes, and my favorite, the Suzy-Q........................boy, i hope not..........but they need to get healthier, in more ways than one.......

from the article:

"The iconic status of Twinkies is partly this perception that there's nothing real in it," said Ken Albala, professor of history at the University of the Pacific, in Stockton, Calif., who specializes in food history. "It's this cake filled with an unidentifiable sugary cream filling that never goes bad."

(......i like to put my Twinkies in the freezer..........)

So true. Thats when it seemed we always had lots of snow cause it came up to my knees. I do remember the winter of 77 with a ton of snow.

I'm tired of correcting these knuckleheads around here who keep calling gobs "whoopie pies." It ain't no pie, it's cake dammit.

[RobinQuillonsHair]

I thought a whoopie pie was a chocolate covered gob like sandwich with marshmallow filling?
