Hubby heard some bad news on the tv this morning that made him reevaluate his future and made me reevaluate my marriage… Hostess is filing for Chapter 11. Hostess the makers of ‘The Twinkie’.
Hubby: Oh My God, we have to go buy like a million Twinkies right now!
Me: Seriously?
Hubby: BABE! It’s 2012, the end of the world is coming and we are gonna need Twinkies and now they’re going out of business!
Me: Sorry confused, I can understand needing to hoard Twinkies for the inevitable zombie apocalypse, but the end of the world?
Hubby: Twinkies can survive anything, they’re the cockroach of the snack foods!
Me: Okay first off eyw and second if it’s the end of the world you don’t need Twinkies, as it’s THE END OF THE WORLD! You wont have a chance to eat them, you’ll be dead, poofed, smashed, vaporized, bye bye.
Hubby: But when the end is coming I’ll need a Twinkie to prepare me for the inevitable.
Me:… wow… really?… end of the world is coming and instead of holding your loved ones close, you’ll be eating a Twinkie… the “cockroach of the snack foods”.
Hubby: Ya!… What?… Why are you looking at me like that?
Me:…
Hubby: WHAT?… Oh right, babe, I’ll totally be holding you with the other hand.
Me: Gee thanks, second to the cockroach Twinkie… I’m honored.
All I can think of is Zombieland and his perpetual hunt for Twinkies. Tell your husband, they DO actually have an expiration date. lol.
See Twinkies for sustenance during zombie attack I can understand! and seriously?!? They have explanation dates!?!? Mind blow.
hehehe… no worries, they have promised to continue to manufacture Twinkies no matter what!
This made me laugh so hard. I think I will buy all the hostess cupcakes with the fancy swirl for the end of the world though.
When I heard the news my immediate thought was: no problem. Twinkies have a shelf-life of, what? 100 years? Fresh as the century in which they were manufactured… (that should be their slogan)!
All that sugary goodness – and as a plus, after the expiration date you can use them for building materials!
I thought conversations like this one, only occurred in my household. -=)
