Doomsday Prepping: The Twinkies Edition
So this certainly caught my eye this morning: Twinkies-maker Hostess to close.
Now, I know this certainly isn’t eating-out-in-Sioux-Falls territory here, but wow. Whether you are a fan of Twinkies/Ding Dongs/Susie Qs/Sno Balls/HoHos/Fruit Pies/etc. or not isn’t even really the issue here. Hostess is an iconic American brand, and for it to go bankrupt is a bit shocking. I mean, Wonder Bread people!
Anyway, while none of this stuff is good for you, and all of it is either easily replaced in, or better yet cut out of, my diet, I think I’ll go all Doomsday Preppers on a couple boxes of Twinkies this weekend.
They do last forever after all.*
(*Not true. So I’ll likely end up eating a bunch and/or throwing a bunch out. Still going to do it.)
UPDATE: Intrepid reporter Sarah Reinecke just passed me this gem: I Stuffed a Turkey with Twinkies. Are you listening, Megan? ARE YOU?
