ChrisD 0 #6 August 1, 2013 Yes, they have changed considerably.... I'm not sure they can be called food anymore despite the taste you seem to enjoy.... Additionally they busted their bakers union to shreds, put over 5,000 long time employees out of work, their pensions and savings in jepordey, and somehow managed to modernize their new plants, with unskilled labor and automation. They are now more profitable than ever. The banks that are owned by the same individuals that lent them the money that also have a investment in these same new plants,... to do this are very happy. Your overweight children will live less years than you, dibeties is on the rise, and your dentist will thank you... supersize me... Shelf life, palatability, and some fucked up substance called: "oilestra." Although they use a hidden propiteary name to hide the substance that gives the texture and creem that wonderfull flava. Additionally they are spending, close to one quarter of a billion dollars on their long range advertising budjet, just to get the world to think they are safe to eat... You have to be fuckin nuts to eat one of these things.... Although "fried" with a little powdered sugar at Six flags the other day, they were wonderful.... As well as the fried Snickers bars...

oldwomanc6 38 #12 August 2, 2013 ChrisD If life is soo short why are you promoting an activity that will shorten it??? C I think the same could be said of every poster here (at least the ones who have actually skydived). Personally, I think it is a balancing act between a long life (and who doesn't want that?) and enjoying it. What good is it to live to be 100 if you didn't enjoy it along the way? It's been 30+ years since I had a Twinkie, but not because they're unhealthy, but because I wouldn't have enjoyed it.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorrinRadd 0 #14 August 2, 2013 Wish I could say whether I liked em or not. But I honestly have never had one. Not even one. My folks did not buy pre-processed food ever as I grew up (my candy experience was solely from Halloween), and as an adult the ingredients list just kinda freaks me out.Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

guineapiggie101 0 #15 August 2, 2013 I've never been a fan of Twinkies especially since I heard they had a long shelf life. I have some friends who like deep fried Twinkies (blech) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #17 August 2, 2013 Hey.. go for it... the one on the shelf that you did not eat from the bulk package at the time is probably still just as edible now... and will still be just the same sitting there on the shelf for 20 more years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grue 1 #18 August 2, 2013 ChrisD If life is soo short why are you promoting an activity that will may shorten it??? Fixed. I'm pretty sure that the two twinkies I've had in 2013 have very little effect on my health. I do 6 sessions at the gym per week, I track my caloric input, and I'm not worried. Quote I'd rather give up a few cases of "Fat Food" per week, such as your promoting, and live 20 years longer....Lets see at 250 jumps per year, O'h by the way the money I save by not eating yellow shit sticks, I put to jumping and new gear, A few CASES of twinkies per week? 20 years off my life? How much do you spend on alcohol, and how much do you think that affects your health? I ask because I don't drink, never have, and statistically speaking I bet you do. Given the disproportionately high percentage of smokers in the skydiving community, and your location, I wouldn't be surprised if you partake in that, too. Quote Your family will have to purchase a big boy casket, youll need a crane to lift your blubborous ass and girth into the ground,And guess what??? Burial is for selfish assholes. Cremation or just being fed to wild animals is how I'd like to be disposed of. As for the rest of it, I burn more calories than I eat, and thus I do not gain weight. Pretty basic. cavete terrae.

That's a myth, they go bad just like nearly anything else. They have good shelf life for a baked good but aren't really impressive outside of that context.
