This made me laugh.

 

 

Alongside those coronavirus prep bags being filled by shoppers with bleach and hand sanitizer may be boxes of long shelf life Twinkies and Ding Dongs.

“We are seeing that,” Hostess Brands CEO Andy Callahan said on Yahoo Finance’s On the Move, when asked if he is seeing a bump in business as people stock up, should they be trapped at home due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Yum!!!

Stale, dry, chocolate "flavored" cake, topped with a rubbery like covering presented as chocolate icing, with a gooey, gluey white "unknown" substance mistakenly referred to as "vanilla cream!"

It's amazing how deprivation from certain things changes our concept of them, ...our desires always over rule our intelligence!!!

THE "ultimate" childhood junk food of the 50's and 60's, ...ahhh, I wouldn't go so far as calling them cake, ...per se, ...but back in the 50's early 60's they were a favorite "long shelf life" staple that were kept in bomb shelters during the "Communist" threat of annihilation..........., until, ...MacDonald's came to town and "knocked" them off of the shelf.

You didn't know that, man, ...you must of had a "sheltered" childhood, ...why, those were the "good" old days!  LOL
