I trade a ho for a Ho-Ho, Twinkie or a Ring Ding


Twinkie

I'm not a big snack cake kind of person. I never have them around the house and never really have the desire to buy any.

Sure, if someone gives me an oatmeal cream pie, I'd probably eat it. I'm not totally opposed to them, or anything. I'd just normally rather have something else to eat.

I think maybe I should be opposed to them. They are so (as Merlin might say) unnatural! They all look a little disturbing and have you ever looked at the ingredients?

No snack cake is more disturbing than the Twinkie. Those things are supposed to last forever in those individually sealed bags. That just can't be right!

When I was a kiddo, my friend's mom always had Twinkies. At that point in my life, I was always excited about the Twinkie.

I'm not sure if I've had a Twinkie since those days. Yet, the other day, I had this craving for a Twinkie.

I don't even know what brought the craving about, but I couldn't get rid of it! So when I got gas, I picked up a package.

I got home and carefully unwrapped the two golden wonders. They felt properly spongy and didn't appear to be stale. Of course not--they're the indestructable Twinkies!

I tore one in two and observed the fluffy cream filling. I inhaled the sweet scent and then opened my mouth wide to take a bite.

The thing tasted like crap! Who eats these things? Either a person develops some kind of a better sense of taste as they grow up or I liked to eat disgusting crap when I was a kid.

Or maybe both, I guess.
