Believe or not the packages now come with a surprisingly short best before date, three months I believe (yet it should be decades).
I presume to ensure turnover at the retail level, or perhaps they insulate a north wall with the returns. :-) Now I shall chastise myself and others for thinking today is Friday (EST, the official timezone of the ARSlist Tour). ....

They have also noted that while many were thrown, very few were eaten. Now you can know why. Newsweek has an article on Twinkie ingredients in this week's issue (March 5, 2007) under "Health" on page 50. It is also on the web at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17303919/site/newsweek/ when I looked tonight. With 39 ingredients, few normally considered edible, it is no wonder that an unnamed attendee last year who had never eaten one took a single bite, turned green, and left quickly.
