I remember the first time i tried one...
I almost barfed on my misses (not unusual). Rank doesn't even begin to describe these foul (non)treats... After years of american films and adverts in all my favorite comics i felt like a large part of my life was missing until that terrible moment.
It was like finding out that the WWF wasn't real :(
- It's just sugar, dude. There's nothing 'foul' about them. And someone had to tell you WWF wasn't real? ;)monospaced
- See thing is, in the UK we would had used real cream... Not some weird moon pasted. shit was foul :(necromation

Wow - 18,500 workers out of work, that's horrible. Wonder if they're rethinking they're strike strategy?
- Mentions nothing about the executive level bonuses and salaries and if they had been cut 8% like the workers.dorkKn1ght

They're not going to disappear. They will be bought out and will be able to "shed" the burden of their current union workers.

"Twinkie defense" is a derisive label for an improbable legal defense. It is not a recognized legal defense in jurisprudence, but a catchall term coined by reporters during their coverage of the trial of defendant Dan White for the murders of San Francisco city supervisor Harvey Milk and mayor George Moscone. White's defense was that he suffered diminished capacity as a result of his depression. His change in diet from healthy food to Twinkies and other sugary food was said to be a symptom of depression. Contrary to common belief, White's attorneys did not argue that the Twinkies were the cause of White's actions, but that their consumption was symptomatic of his underlying depression. White was convicted of voluntary manslaughter.
