People still care about Twinkies?

The exchange program between sister cities Gangjin and Snoqualmie, Washington, has gotten a relatively good bit of press the past couple years. This month a Gangjin middle schooler's trip over winter break made the local paper, the SnoValley Star.
Fresh off the airplane after a grueling trip from Korea, teenager Eun Seong confessed to one big objective for his monthlong trip to Snoqualmie.

“I want to eat a Twinkie,” he said during a reception at Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie, sister city of Seong’s hometown of Gangjin.

That's funny. I had one of those moments, too.

After several years of living here, I would get the weirdest cravings. Twinkies was one of them.

My mum called and asked what I wanted for my (upcoming) birthday. I told her sending cash was easiest, but could she PLEASE send a box of Twinkies, too.

M: (disbelieving) "Really??"
DB: "Yes. Serious craving. Serious."

Received the Twinkies two weeks later, ripped into the box and jammed one of them--whole--into my mouth. Eww. Craving officially satisfied, I spit out the disgusting mess and threw the remaining ones away. Eww.

OTOH, I still have my craving for a Drake's coffee cake and a Brio Chinotto to wash it down.
