I can't stand Twinkies. Never liked them, but in college, I did a play wherein the director wanted me eating a Twinkie every time I came on stage. After 2 weeks of 10 Twinkies per night? Can NOT stand them. Haven't eaten one since and don't expect to.

Hail, Empress, on the day of your birth!!!

{{{{Drew}}}} Honey, all kinds of ~ma to you and your family.

factoid:

Two phlebotomists gave up trying to find my brains oops, veins. The woman who was called in to finally succeed was wearing Spongebob Squarepants scrubs.

Twinkies has put lard back into the creme. They only removed it for a year or two, but they replaced it with shortening that was full of trans fat. When people started getting freaked out about trans fat, they switched back to lard.

Matilda and Dylan are my new OTP.

Cash's family relationship with the Rotorooter guy is also pretty sweet.

Oh, I also liked getting an occasional off-brand Snowballs when I was younger and pre-diabetic.

I say off-brand, because the pink ones freak me out. Something called a "snowball" should be white by default. And if they are making them green for St Patrick's day, they should have mint flavoring.

I think I lost my taste for them in my 20's. Too many with dry, crumbly cake, short on filling and tasteless marshmallow creme.

Something called a "snowball" should be white by default.

Could be worse. Could be yellow.

I never much cared for oatmeal cookies in and of themselves, but there was always something ridiculously addicting about Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies. Very cracktastic.

Something I learned the other day, the original twinkie cream filling was banana-flavoured. IIRC, they changed it due to banana shortages during WWII. (They don't have twinkies in Australia, my sole exposure to them growing up was in ads in American comic books.)

Also, Three Musketeers bars were originally three little bars in one package, with one with chocolate filling, one with vanilla, and one with strawberry.

Happy birthday, Aims!!!
