Fun Stuff > CHATTER
No more Twinkies

This also affects one other key member of Interstate Brands: Wonder Bread.
There's still a lot of their products left on the shelf, but when that stuff is gone - it's gone.
The Walmart Supercenter in Wausau has already "filled" the empty shelf space with a local company's snack bars. Nature, and capitalism, abhors a vacuum.

Has anyone else heard that our corpses are now taking longer to decompose because of all the preservatives we consume in foods?
TheEvilDog:
The Macrobians would extract all moisture their dead and then cover them in a type of plaster.
The Han Dynasty of China used an embalming solution containing mercury and antimony.
Several European nations, as well as both sides during the American Civil War would store the dead in brandy and other alcohol as they were being sent home for burial.
After 1867, formaldehyde has been the basis for most embalming. In fact most medical cadavers are preserved in the stuff (my cousin is in his last basic year of med-school, he's done the "you-get-a-body-to-examine-for-a-year" thing.
So being preserved by Twinkies and Ho Hos? Compared to the other methods that have been used? Doesn't sound that bad.
