   Me has a feeling cartoonists REALLY liked their Twinkies.

   I do believe their chemical content allowed them an incredibly long shelf life.

   Longer than most, but much, much, MUCH shorter than what people say. Thge average shelf life is about 25 days.

   Bennatti’s Twinkie, now 37 years old, looks pretty good for its age. Its once-yellow color has faded, partially because of years spent sitting in the open, collecting chalkdust. Once spongy and soft, it now looks delicate and flaky. Bennatti used a term from geology to explain the snack’s current state: “It’s exfoliating,” he said. “It’s losing its outer layer.”

   I don’t believe for a minute that they are gone. Once the union is busted they will be back as an regulated poison mill under a different name, but with the same names in the prospectus.

   @ olfart
   That should be “unregulated poison mill”.

   Look, jokes aside, there’s like a thousand different brands of “not-Twinkies” to fill the hole. Some of them are probably better- and most of them would have to try hard to be worse for you.

   BIMBO in Mexico (non-union you say) have stepped in to make the Twinkie. Business runs very well without unions but no union exists without a business to leech off of.

    @Ms. Ima

    @ima, who are you leeching off? You seem to have a lot of time to spew your drivel all over the comments sections. Are you an obese troll at your virus infected terminal in your parents basement munching junk food and imagining yourself to be a trillionaire in command of the entire planet like some nemesis of 007? And dont delete your comment and creep away like you did last time.

    The union “won”, didn’t they? Ha Ha. If I were the people from the other unions involved, I would be plenty upset! They were willing to be reasonable, but the baker’s union, not so much.

    back to the good old days of the robber
    barons, where there were no safety
    considerations, no retirement, no rights for
    the laborors…no wonder they prospered

    I am not a friend of unions, but to deliberately destroy a business would take all those dues out of their pocket.
    .
    The greedy union bosses emptying their own pockets?
    .
    Try another guess Miss Ima, leeching the business dry hurts the lifestyle of the union goon you hate.
    .
    If they were that dumb you would not have to hate them, no?
