...are those Gwiffons... Peeps?

Hey- I know I've lost 40 pounds in the last year. It's doable. You just have tobe counter cultural.

[Mr_Teatime]

Is it just me or are the deep-fried Twinkies mostly native to the Southern U.S.? I see them all the time at fairs here (Northern Florida), but never once anywhere else.

I think that they're just restricted to fairs and such. Yeah, carny food would kill you dead in a year or so if that's all you ate.

I heard a comedian say this:
"There are three native dishes of England. And two of those are cabbage."

[EntilZha]

Oh yeah man! When we all nuke ourselves off this rock, the only thing that will be left is cockroaches and twinkies. Those things are invincible!

And Keith Richards. Because if you ever think you've partied too hard, just remember, he's still alive and kicking.

[EntilZha]

Ugggh... people actually eat those?

That's not all. They've also been used as a defense in a court of law. In 1978, Dan White murdered San Francisco mayor George Moscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, and used what is now known as the "Twinkie Defense" to influence the court to convict him on the lesser charge of manslaughter. The gist of the Twinkie Defense was that White's alleged uncharacteristic consumption of Twinkies and Coca-Cola (he was apparently a fitness fanatic) was evidence of existing depression/mental instability, and therefore diminished capacity.

Yes, the gwiffins are peeps. By the way, the best way to destroy a peep is to put it in a microwave...

[mport2004]

Or Bite its head off

[dragongirl13]

Yes, they're Peeps. And please don't call them disgusting. By the way, my first response to Jillian's gwiffon was "what the heck?!?!? That's a Marshmallow Peep! Erfworl IS cutesy!"

[dragongirl13]

Oh, and another way to destroy a Peep is to dissolve it in Phenol or drop it in nitrogen and whack it with a hammer. And if you kill a peep by phenol, the eyes won't dissolve...

[Erk]

Phenol is not at all pleasant stuff. It's probably more effective for killing humans than gwiffons.

[Setra]

I rather dislike Peeps, Twinkies are okay, but I won't ask for them.

Actually it would seem most people hate Twinkies these days, really no one I have ever met, eats twinkies. Though this is a limited view.

Ugggh... people actually eat those?

Look /= taste..

If you think about it, food you have never tried, will always look odd. The first time I saw Chili, I thought it looked disgusting.

I love Chili.. and am craving it now... ... I'm gonna go eat I think.

[Erk]

Peeps are kinda gross. I haven't had six month old peeps though. In Canada they are not nearly as big as in the US. We prefer this kinda puffy lizard-shaped treat, we call it a "dwagon"....


(last sentence is entirely a lie, for those inevitable dense ones)

[PlugNPlay]

Peeps and Bunnies in my hot cocoa.... Mmmmm. And I get a little maniacal thrill from seeing them melt away as though consumed by phenol.

[Sir_Faust]

I personaly preferr bunnies: http://www.solardeathray.com/bunny.html
lol

[Scudboy]

Hadn't realized SPY had done the Twinkie tests well before the TWINKIE PROJECT did theirs. But SPY neglected the Turing test.

Its when you eat at a cheap resturant, or don't have the time to cook that you will find your options limited.

In short, to eat well in the U.S. you're best off cooking the food yourself.
