The uncanny resilience of Twinkies has been the butt of more than one post hereabouts. What do you get when you put - I dunno, food, like licorice or C rations on the dashboard of your trusty Gremlin, and leave it there a coupla years? At best a study in fungal ecology, and at worst, buzzard repellent. Put Twinkies on yer dashboard while waiting for DAL to double, and you get... Twinkies. The little tear in the wrapper matters not. So I presume that some Sumatran marsupial can only "add value". I know you weren't trying to be a "party pooper". Kids don't really digeat Twinkies. They're not a food per se. Think of thgem more as a... digestive conditioner. Deskbound code artistes use them to counteract the professional hazard of serious Coke- and Chee-to-induced irregularity. The software engineer's twist on "writer's block".
