Default Twinkies are back. TWINKIES. ARE. BACK.

For the click-challenged:

They're back.

A year after Hostess filed for bankruptcy in the wake of ugly
in-fighting, those little tubular sponge cakes with creamy filling that
you and the bulk of nuclear survivalists love are back, expected to hit
shelves by July 15th. The company is proudly proclaiming a "leaner"
business structure, but that in no way means that their product will
make you any leaner yourself.*
*Okay, well they didn't actually say that last part.**
**But that doesn't mean it isn't true!

Move aside, 2004 Red Sox, because the new boxes of Twinkies will bear
the totally true tag-line, "The Sweetest Comeback in the History of
Ever." A box of 10 Twinkies will still only set you back $3.99, and the
company says different styles of Twinkie, like flavored cakes and
crunchy-textured cakes, could be in the works. Plus, we might not be far
from Twinkies that are gluten-free, come with added fiber, or have low
sugar/sodium, for the all those Twinkie-loving health nuts out there.
Also, the company that now owns Hostess also owns Chef Boyardee and PBR
(among others), so start sending your fan-mail begging for hybrids like
TwinkieOs and beer-filled Twinkies NOW.

The company's president swears that these little guys won't actually
last forever, despite their reputation, and insists that they should be
consumed within 45 days. But, if anything, that just means that people
will be more desperate to eat them right away, so you should probably go
ahead and call in sick for July 15th right now.
