can't speak to the twinkie thing, never really got into it. As for the cupcakes, I loved them and still do - I peel off the chocolate top and eat it last, saving the white squiggle for the final mouthful and god help you if you interrupt me in mid-cupcake and I don't get my frosting. I got cupcakes last week and enjoyed them thoroughly, though the creme seemed a bit blander than I recall. Plus, Ho-Hos now come in "car-o-mel" style, with sweet brown goo all over the sweet white goo wrapped up in the cake and frosting... if this is "catering to moms who want healty food" (to paraphrase liberally from your excellent post) they are doing a piss-poor job. But if they want to cater to 40-year-old children who don't know how to say "no," they're kicking ass!
that 22 cents was enough to buy a single ding-dong, or "sing-dong." I bet you just wasted it on utilities bills or Kerry fundraisers. Figures. Damn liberals.

Posted by stacey at July 1, 2004 11:08 AMIt should be obvious to the nay-sayers that one or more of Bill's fond childhood memories has been squashed. I can think of no excuse for screwing up the Twinkie recipe, and I hope Hostess is damn proud of themselves. Harrumph!

Holy Moly. On many counts. dan is totally right. The cupcakes still kick ass. The twinkies were trashed with adult tastebuds. Or else they screwed up the recipe. I'm not sure what happened there. something did, though. And Jackson! Wow. Amazing. :) Great post. Great comments.
I need a mocha.
