lol @ everyone who typed "snake cakes" rather than "snack cakes". >_> that is something my dad used to do when he making grocery lists.

Did you know that cockroaches won't eat twinkies? The nasty little things will eat industrial strength glue but not twinkies.

Wall-E is a lie! T_T

That is pretty random. O.o

Don't send them the chocolate filled ones. They are just not right.

I've never had a Twinkie either, and I've lived in the US my whole life. My siblings and I always joked about how they were going to be the only food in the world.

Twinkies were originally not vanilla flavored. They were banana flavored. Realizing that several machines used to make cream-filled strawberry shortcake sat idle when strawberries were out of season, the maker conceived a snack cake filled with banana cream, which he dubbed the Twinkie. During World War II, bananas were rationed and the company was forced to switch to vanilla cream.

Three things will survive until the end of time.
1. Cockroaches.
2. Twinkies.
3. My Mother-in-Law.

That would be awesome Greyhaunt!
Then if the Mayans would have miscalculated and the end of the world would be a bit later on we atleased have some twinkies to eat for a proper ending to it all!
I hope that if the Vogons should pick me up just before it all ends by a large impropability factor, I can take them with me...maybe I should pack them together with a towel...

This all makes me want to watch Zombieland again XD

I haven't eaten any hostess/Drakes products in years - mainly because I avoid HFCS like the plague... BUT.. that said... I did give in and purchase 2 boxes of Funny Bones and 2 boxes of those little coffee cake thingies. I'll honestly miss more of the Drakes stuff.
