I knew this was going to happen. The whole King Don/Ding Dong thing was the stupidest thing since New Coke.

Aren't twinkies and cockroaches the only things that will survive a nuclear attack?

Are you calling foot a twinkie?

But seriously folks, now that you mention it, if the apocalypse comes we'll all meet at foot's place. It'll be like The Stand.

No, the sign of the coming apocalypse is a Twinkie THIRTY-FIVE feet long, not three.

Andy Borowitz: If you manufacture Twinkies in the fattest nation on the planet
and somehow go bankrupt, you should be ashamed.

Have you seen Zombieland? The Woody Harrelson character has a thing for Twinkies.

A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father. She stands next to the barber's chair eating a snack cake, while her dad gets his hair cut. The barber says to her, "Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair on your Twinkie." She says, "Yes, I know, and I'm gonna get boobs, too.
Funny, I was just thinking the other day "how come the major fast food chains never go bankrupt" then I thought... comfort eating happens in recession, you lose your job that's where you should invest your last paycheck/severence....." .....so....could this be a sign of the end of the "economic downturn"?



ch'yeah
