The Glorious Return of the Twinkie

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-in-my-belly dept.

iggymanz writes "The geek food staple the Twinkie is coming back. The sturdy main component of the foundation to the geek four food groups of sugar, fat, caffeine and bacon — with rumored shelf life on the order of the time span to cool a white dwarf to room temperature — the Twinkie, along with Ding-Dongs, Ho-Ho's and Cupcakes, will be returning 15 July 2013 to the shelves under new management of Apollo Global Management and C. Dean Metropoulous & Co which paid over 400 mega dollars (U.S.) for the brands."

    Glorifying the return of this unhealthy snack like the second coming is just sad, sad, sad. I stay away from all processed and sugary foods so I can be healthy, look good, and score with chicks.
    Keep eating it up fatties, you'll only make me look better in comparison.

    Don't bring your silly "facts" into this. Every business failing is always 99.999% the union's fault. The poor management was just being held hostage and made impotent by those big, bad bullies.
