Old soldiers never die, nor do old Twinkies.

This is a national emergency, where is the government bailout!

 

I bet Taft would have issued a bailout for Hostess. Obama is too skinny!

 

What does this mean? No more donuts? Twinkies? Bagels? If they make biscuits then I can see why they are going out of business...You put biscuits in your tea..not in your gravy...twinkies? Come on America be a man...twinkies?

 

The Twinkies will last forever, not the company though.

 

I see the cost of vintage, unopened Twinkies going up! Stock up now!

 

As much as people like to make fun of Twinkies (and I don't blame them, they are awful), they simply don't have a "forever" shelf-life. It is in fact about 25 days, and while lengthy for a "cake" product, this is more likely due to their lack of dairy than anything else. But under a month is far from "forever". Not as much fun, and funny, but get real guys.

Boo!!Boo!!!

 

By the time they get to New Mexico at the trading post, it has already been 35 days and the taste remains the same forever after.......certainly is what my palate has experienced eating them.....so you could say they have short shelf life........or forever depending on the state of the marketplace. If you didn't have a label to read you couldn't date a twinkie by taste out here.

 

Why don't you like that OP? Just too much of chill on the "forever" Twinkie?

Never liked those damn things myself, and was fascinated by the story of how they went from "banana creme" to "vanilla creme" fillings during WW2. America commandeered the United Fruit Company cargo ships after Pearl Harbor, shut off banana imports, and left the production of "Twinkies" without a filling.

Twinkies marched on without bananas, but their shelf live remains a running "joke" even today.

 

You can have our women but you'll never have our twinkies....Braveheart to English army at bridge..

You'll have someones eye out with that twinkie....Harold shouting down hill at Hastings...

Twinkies...famous general at Bastoigne I believe...

Praise the lord and pass the twinkies....ghettysburg or somewhere like it...

Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few twinkies...Ran out of gum...Some big Brit guy...

Wtf....slipdigit...twinkies....its a ww2 forum....

Well I think he'd say that..
