I don't get it. What is everyone freaked out about with this Twinkie
bullshit? Has anyone actually eaten one of these recently or what about a
HoHo for that matter? They are disgusting. My mother had a box of
HoHos at her house for my nieces about 6 months ago, so trying to be all
nostalgic I ate one with them because I hadn't in about 25 years. My
GAWD! It didn't even work. The chocolate broke apart (if we can
even call this chocolate) and the "cake" part was dry and umm, I
don't even know. I don't think it was food. I'm glad Hostess
is going out of business. It had to be a crime that anyone was putting
this in their bodies.
Of course, I have a daughter who is a pastry chef, so this could be why I
really don't give a damn about any of it. Who the hell would want a
Twinkie or a HoHo when you could have a
Lutetia Torte (Walnut sponge
cake with chestnut butter cream covered in chocolate ganache!) HOLLA!
I was driving by a 7-11 on my way home today and feeling a little sad about the loss of Twinkies, but I have to admit, it's more for nostalgia than for anything like, oh, actual food value. If your daughter could just get her pastry creations into 7-11, the world would be a better place...!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my daughter would be happy, too. Then again, she might find it to be an insult! It could go either way! =D
Deletebtw, I could be crazy, but I thought I heard somewhere today that Hostess is going to be saved....?!?! If so, I'm sure this was all part of their evil plan!
Yeah, now people are saying that it might have been a maneuver to make the union look bad, like "You killed the Twinkie!" But hopefully there will be more press about the fact that the CEO and other big shots at Hostess kept pulling in the big bucks while the company was going under.
DeleteSo I guess I heard correctly. This should be interesting. The twinkie terror continues!!!
