Kinda like those semi-soft orange marshmallow peanuts that show up around Easter time (What orange peanuts have to do with Easter is a mystery to me). Every year I see them, and perhaps prompted by some childhood remembrance, I buy them... I eat three or four out of the bag, and then mid-way to the mouth with the next one, the gag reflex kicks in, and I need no more at all till next year...
McDonald's 'food' has much the same effect... but over a longer time frame... LOVE IT... Can't get enough... for about three months... then again, mid-way through a Big Mac... !GAG!... no more for a year or two...
Go figger.
I am not a Twinkie fan... Hostess's demise will do little to me, except for pink Snowballs (which since my teens have been referred to by a rather bawdy nickname), and their crappy glazed doughnuts which I personally like better than almost any other doughnut with morning coffee. But even those are a small loss - I really should be supporting my local baker anyhoo... And an apple fritter or bear-claw will do nicely.
Not gonna miss Hostess and their inappropriately named snack cakes - Twinkies, Ho Ho’s and Ding Dongs.
