...are those Gwiffons... Peeps?
Those gwiffons look an *awful* lot like Peeps (marshmellowly disgusting candy shaped like chicks, frequent target of dismemberment, arson, and insertion into vacuum chambers).
Anyone else notice the resemblance?
Brilliant.

Re: ...are those Gwiffons... Peeps?
Yes, they do. And you neglected to mention they're practically indestructible, except by the human stomach.

Re: ...are those Gwiffons... Peeps?
If you unwrap them and let them get really stale ('bout a week or so), they're quite tasty and not disgusting at all! :)
BTW, they're made by Just Born Candies (http://www.justborn.com/), in Pennsylvania (USA)....Last edited by Sereno; 2006-12-20 at 08:59 AM.

Re: ...are those Gwiffons... Peeps?
Well let us hope that there are no "Twinkie" jokes coming up. I'm still not sure just what those things are. American food jokes tend to fly right over my head.

Re: ...are those Gwiffons... Peeps?
Studying the Twinkies
In an effort to clarify questions about the purported durability and unusual physical characteristics of Twinkies, we subjected the Hostess snack logs to the following experiments:
Exposure
A Twinkie was left on a window ledge for 4 days, during which time an inch and a half of rain fell. Many flies were observed crawling across the Twinkie's surface, but contrary to hypothesis, birds, even pigeons, avoided this potential source of substance. Despite the rain and prolonged exposure to the sun, the Twinkie retained its original color and form. When removed, the Twinkie was found to be substantially dehydrated. Cracked open, it was observed to have taken on the consistency of industrial foam insulation; the filling however, retained its advertised "creaminess"
Radiation
A Twinkie was placed in a conventional microwave oven, which was set for precisely 4 minutes - the approximate cooking time of bacon. After 20 seconds, the oven began to emit the Twinkie's rich, characteristic aroma of artificial butter. After one minute, this aroma began to resemble the acrid smell of burning rubber. The experiment was aborted after 2 minutes 10 seconds when thick, foul smoke began billowing from the top of the oven. A second Twinkie was subjected to the same experiment; this Twinkie leaked molten white filling. When cooled, this now epoxylike filling bonded the Twinkie to its plate, defying gravity: it was removed only upon application of a butter knife. Extreme Force
A Twinkie was dropped from a ninth-floor window, a fall of approximately 120 feet. It landed right side up, then bounced onto its back. The expected "splatter" effect was not observed. Indeed, the only discernible damage to the Twinkie was a narrow fissure on its underside; otherwise, the Twinkie remained structurally intact.
Extreme Cold
A Twinkie was placed in a conventional freezer for 24 hours. Upon removal, the Twinkie was not found to be frozen solid, but its physical properties had noticeably "slowed". The filling was found to be the approximate consistency of acrylic paint, while exhibiting the mercurylike property of not adhering to practically any surface. It was noticed the Twinkie had generously absorbed the freezer odors.
Extreme Heat
A Twinkie was exposed to a gas flame for 2 minutes. While the Twinkie smoked and blackened and the filling in one of its "cream holes" boiled, the Twinkie did not catch fire. It did, however produce the same "burning rubber" aroma noticed in the irradiation experiment.
Immersion
A Twinkie was dropped into a large bucket filled with water, the Twinkie floated momentarily, then began to list and sink. Viscous yellow tendrils ran off its lower half, possibly consisting of a water-soluble artificial coloring. After 2 hours, the Twinkie bloated substantially. Its coloring was now a very pale tan - in contrast to the yellow, urine-like water that surrounded it. The Twinkie bobbed when touched, and had a gelatinous texture. After 72 hours, the Twinkie had increased roughly 200 percent of its original size. The water had turned opaque, and a small, fan-shaped spray of filling had leaked from one of the "cream holes". Unfortunately, efforts to remove the Twinkie for further analysis were abandoned when, under light pressure the Twinkie disintegrated into an amorphous cloud of debris. A distinctly sour odor was noted.
Summary of Results
The Twinkie's survival of a 120-foot drop, along with some of the unusual phenomena associated with the "creamy filling" and artificial coloring, should give pause to those observers who would unequivocally categorize the Twinkie as "food". Further clinical inquiry is required before any definite conclusions can be drawn.

Re: ...are those Gwiffons... Peeps?
After seeing panel 4 of strip 10 I am getting more and more on-board with the "gwiffons are peeps" theory. Look at the gooey marshmallow center when that thing opens it's mouth to attack and roar!
I dont really think they are peeps, but you certainly can't help but notice the resemblence. Let me take this opportunity to say that I love this comic, keep up the good work.What I do every time I see someone complain that their DM is a jerk just because some class/race/book/feat/etc. is not allowed at the gaming table.

Re: ...are those Gwiffons... Peeps?
Dude, you haven't lived until you've had a deepfried twinkie! But yeah, not everyone eats them, many people I know have thought that they are gross in any form you may eat them.
And by the way, I've seen one with mold growing on it inside the wrapper that hadn't been opened. I thought I was at the nexus of the universe or something.What I do every time I see someone complain that their DM is a jerk just because some class/race/book/feat/etc. is not allowed at the gaming table.

Re: ...are those Gwiffons... Peeps?
Peeps are good if you eat them on occasion. It's like pure sucrose. Twinkies are okay, but they're nothing special. I personally can't eat more than one at a given time.

Re: ...are those Gwiffons... Peeps?
I am a healthy, thin (some might say scrawny) American.
There are lots of good, healthy, cuisine options in the U.S.A. You just don't see them advertised much. Nor do you see many resturants with healthy food. Most good American food is made at home by people who know how to cook without using a microwave. Its when you eat at a cheap resturant, or don't have the time to cook that you will find your options limited.Quoth the owl, "ORLY?"
