    I keep hearing about these things on TV/films. What exactly is a twinky? If I had a better memory I would remember more.

        How about some real bread? People talk about "the best thing since sliced bread", as if sliced bread was a good thing. Having been to Europe I can assure you that sliced bread is a giant leap backwords. Now if I could just find real break in the US without having to bake it myself.

          And like a fine wine, it will only improve with age... I've got a circa 1979 twinkie in the original wrapper and it STILL looks deeeeLISH! ...Steve

            Probably good for you to know that they actually have a very very very short shelf life. I definitely would not even think about eating it. Matt Newman

              Roger, it seems you've mistaken me for someone who has other than the lowest of standards when it comes to edibles. :) /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

                  You can find some pretty good bread in the US, just don't expect to find it in supermarket. Unfortunately, most people don't care about bread enough to want to spend on better loaves, so they continue to sell cheaper crappy mega-bakery products. But I agree, When it comes to bread and coldcuts, Europeans know what's what. BW The Biggest Loser
