When I was a kid, I sold newspapers outside Seal Stadium in San Francisco (first home of the Giants here). Just down the block was a Hostess outlet store. I couldn’t afford retail, a twin-pack of Twinkies were $0.12 a pack - yeah, 12 cents for two. I cringed when they hiked the price to 13 cents a twin-pack. I got day-old packs for half-price. Enjoyed them after selling papers. Prices have gone up a little bit since then, sigh.
