Will the Twinkie Fairy come to the rescue?

I was supposed to send a box of Twinkies to Reston VA to help Sealpoet with a little Christmas merriment.
Okay, I'm a Stamps.com genius, I have a box, I have the Twinkies.
Good so far.

Everything is boxed up. good.
Out the door to work with box in hand. Good.
Reach subway platform. Wait for train. Good.
Put box on steps while adjusting headset on MP3 player. Not good.
Train comes, get on. Listen to Bocelli's Silent Night. wow.
Reach Starbucks. good.
Sip latte. mmmmm.
Remember that box is still on subway platform steps. Shocked

Now, the box is clearly labled and postage is printed on the label so the question is:
Will some good person find the box and mail it?
Or is someone enjoying the Twinkies for breakfast?

What would you do with a found parcel in the midst of all this terror alert world??

Joe

PS. I'm attempting to send another package Monday. with me you can never tell for sure.

Twinkies?

0 Replies

Um. Twinkies are a um a kind of food, sort of. It's a hunk of yellow spongecake with a creamy filling made of undetermined ingredients.

Twinkies are allegedly a form of baked goods with a sponge cake like exterior enclosing a "cream" filling. The ingredients are best not considered by those deciding to actually eat one. One bright spot in Joe's minor tragedy is that Twinkies have a shelf-life equivalent to the half-life of plutonium.

dlowan- And I thought that you understood American culture. Twinkies are the "official" junk food champions of the U.S. Part of the reason that there is an abundance of atention deficit disorders amongst kids in the U.S. is because many think that Twinkies are part of the food groups!

Bomb squad. Definitely.

Some time after Christmas, I'll e-mail the above to said Reston VA and see if it came.

Twinkies are like testicles
They usually travel in pairs
Half the world thinks they're great
The other half wonders 'who cares?'

Only two or three times in the course of a life
Do they really do as they're intended
The rest of the time they're just sort of there
Uselessly appended.

The analogy is thrilling:
Think of cream filling.

TEN FOR 65 CENTS ? ! ? ! ?

I don't know where you shop, Phoenix, but would you be so good as to pick me up a couple hundred Hoho's? I'll put a twenty in the mail immediately . . .

Attended a reception recently, where I swear one of the dessert trays held sliced Twinkies and Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls!

Deep fried Twinkies are also becoming popular "event" fare 'round these parts. Gag!!!

Hohos?

0 Replies

You get those at Hooters.

Lil' Debbie Swiss Rolls ?

Those are just low rent Hohos.

Coney, Hohos are another product of the same company which makes Twinkies. They are rolls of chocolate cake (allegedly) spiralled with a "cream" filling, and covered in chocolate. They have no redeeming nutrional value, the ingredients are low quality, and i love 'em ! ! !

Oh ho - I think we have a Hoho equivalent. However, its "cream" is that horrid white crap - which, I believe, has pig fat in it.

However, I would, if I allowed myself to eat such things, like the miniature Big Sister cakes that come in packets. I have tasted them, and they are proper cakes. If there is such a thing...

I would definitely assist THEM to their destination.

I love rum babas, except they look uncomfortably like...well, you know...and then the confectioners' custard comes out....and, well...it is all too evocative...

Tough call Joe. A couple years ago I'd of dropped um in the mail, but these days I'd probably point it out to security. On the plus side... the bomb squad will be happily surprised!

Hmmmm, I agree that a couple years ago I'd have dropped it in the mail. Now, I don't know what I'd do.

Reston, Virginia? That's where those monkeys were infected with ebola. Shocked

No twinkies for me, thanks.

I too am late in sending a box of twinkies to Reston for Seal Poet. I have the twinkies. They are sitting on the dining room table. And I don't have any good excuse.
