TWINKIE POWER
A lot of people believe that the cake of a Twinkie© will last a lot longer than the plastic wrapper. (along with any zombie nonsense). Perhaps around 200 years?
But according to William Poundstone, author of the book “Bigger Secrets”, that is just a rumor. He stated that Continental Baking Company, the makers of this snack will actually pull unsold boxes of Twinkies off store shelves every 4 days. (I don’t see that happening, do you?)
When James Dewar invented the snack, he called it; “The best darn-tootin’ idea I ever had!” How good was it? A Continental Baking Company executive (unnamed) stated that one man “lived for 7 years on nothing but Twinkies and Cutty Sark”. Please include me in the skeptics.
