Marie Antoinette used to dress up like a shepherdess and said “Let them eat cake.”

Georgie S. and the rest of the ABC gang dress up like journalists and say “let them eat Twinkies.”

It was all in good fun. Until it wasn’t.

FYI, Marie Antoinette never said that. She actually fed the peasants from the palace kitchen.
