Modern Vespa

I swear, Paula Deen (sp?) has made deep fried butter balls on her show before! I think the recipe is on the Food Network too! 8)

The recipe at the link sounds delicious and like the original one. The news article in the paper reported on how the recipe changed over the years to include over 40 ingredients. Among them; "polysorbate 60. The petroleum-based egg yolk substitute includes a toxic gas used to thicken paint and rocket fuel. Also, artificial butter flavor, high-fructose corn syrup, calcium sulfate, and sodium steroyl lactylate."

Does this mean I can no longer refer to the Minnesota Twins as the Twinkies?

ahhh the memories.....

While I've never been a huge fan of Twinkies, I do have memories of them..

To officially join the drama/tech theatre club in 11th grade, I had to go through initiation along with the other new recruits. We were to decorate the wrapper of a Twinkie with a Sharpie, have the drama teacher sign it, and declare it our "spirit Twinkie." For 2 weeks straight, any teacher or member of the club could approach us at any given time, and demand to see the spirit Twinkie. If we still had it by the end of 2 weeks, intact, we could move on. Mine was slightly smooshed at that point, but seemed to be in better shape than most.

I put my foot down once it reached the hazing bit, though. I absolutely refused to dance like Pee Wee to the Tequila song. Not happening.

They let me in anyway. 8)

Alot of drama in the Drama Club.

Hey, I was a techie. I'm a behind-the-scenes kinda person.

But to this day, Twinkies make me think of drama club, lol.

Can't remember the last time I ate a twinkie, but I suddenly have a craving.

Some of the talk I've heard the last couple days, and it's only talk, is that a Mexican company is looking to buy the companies assets. Could soon be Twinkie the Hombre'. Sorry couldn't find a picture on short notice with large brimmed Mexican style hat.

Sounds like the Twinkie I've come to love and expect. Seriously, no sarcasm here.

El Twinkie...

Vespa related topic now

Edited.... to reflect Vespa Related Post.

Were did you find vanilla flavored submarinos I can only find strawberry flavored in my area

my local Albertson store only have Thanksgiving dinner rolls in the place that the snack cakes once resided

Google Images......

I'm a closet snack food eater I buy snacks and eat them on the way to work

You go to work in your closet? Wouldn't it be easier to go to work on your scooter?

Not dead yet. Judge has intervened and both sides are talking. Long live the Twinkie

Ditto. I'm pretty sure I would be disappointed, but now that I can't get them, I want one.

Theory goes the owners and the bakers union are now going into mediation. So, who knows. Maybe it'll be solved.

So i'm guessing the judge like Hostess products. All might not be lost. 8)

Oh man, just realized that Hostess makes the little chocolate donettes!!!!!

Now it looks like they really are calling it quits!

I cannot go camping without chocolate Donettes. Talk about a lifestyle change

Oh well. Great lead-in to the "End of the World" thread...

I had always thought the shelf life would go past the end of the world....

Supposedly cockroaches and twinkies are the only things to survive nuclear war.

Those roaches will be hungry I guess.

Snack cake live on long live Dolly Madison

^^^^^ I tried a Zinger on my drive to Boston last week. It was okay, but the cake was a little too heavy/dense. Not a Twinkie, but close. I'll have to try a Little Debbie Cloud Cake sometime.

I keep a couple in my Urban Survival Kit tin.
