If I had a 3 year old twinkie in my cabinet, I would not hesitate to scarf that rotten little bugger down if I was on a "Must have cake" rampage. As a 'Boomer' who grew up on Sugar packed cereal for breakfast and school lunches that consisted of a bologna sandwich, a piece of fruit and a Hostess treat (of which I only ate the Hostess treat), I have no fear of the infamous Twinkie. If I am still alive and kicking after the crap I ate through the late 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's...I must be invincible. One more rotten Twinkie isn't going to make too much difference at this point, but I really would prefer a nice fresh...yummy doughnut, LOL!!!!
