Twinkies are like the Chef Boy R Dee of junk deserts.
WAIT. I need to find out if you ever ate that? Chef Boy R D ravioli? Every kid has had that forced down his gullet. If you have not had that? Let's see. It is like the Campbell's Tomato soup of deserts.
Once in a while you get a craving. It is a sponge cake with fake cream in the center. It contains zero nutrients and possibly many as yet undetected carcinogens.
You gotta try one. They are almost good.

Yes, quite funny. Actually, twinkies got stale within 30 days. The Wonder/Hostess driver used to give me his "OOC's" when I was the backup receiver at a grocery store. They could be quite stale sometimes.
I miss rotary dial too. I miss TV that you could just turn on and watch the news and know that everyone is watching the same news. I miss that too. I miss THE TASTE OF NORMAL FOOD that we just took for granted. Food in general doesn't taste the same.
LMAO ... I don't miss rotary phones or TVs you turn on and change channels every time. Frankly, I haven't discerned much of a difference in the taste of food. I do miss the 60s-70s music. It's nice to be able to understand the words to songs rather than the junk they mostly produce today.
You are so much YOUNGER than I am as far as what I think about tools and such. LOL
I like to look at something in a package and just USE it. I hate reading pages of directions. So, the flip phone was ENOUGH. I hated that. I was a SALES PERSON in my former life and I lived on the PHONE. They took my livelihood away. WHO THE HECK EVEN ANSWERS THE PHONE ANY MORE? Especially for a sales call.
But that aside, I liked the touch pad, of course, I was exaggerating because compared to NOW? I would take that any day of the year along with the bill. Imagine telling someone during rotary dial days that your phone service would be upwards of 100 a month for most people?
And that the cost of living did not accommodate it either?
I digress. I just do NOT like to hassle. Let's put it that way. And these IMPROVEMENTS that are not, are getting so overwhelming I just want to move to an island and grow my OWN food. and taste real tastes again.
I was raised with cooks and a family that lived around food. So, I tell you, the food is different now. The produce sucks. The stuff that is packaged is worse than ever. SIGH.
There are certain things that I will go forward on and other things that I like to live in the past with. I like my flip phone and I get anxiety attack should the day come when it no longer works. I don't need the phone to do anything more than make and receive calls. I still have a landline. My laptop is not connected to wifi and my mouse is not wireless. Verizon offered a lifetime special of $17.99 per month for internet and I grabbed it. My mobile, landline and internet comes to $104 a month. I don't text, so I don't need to pay for data. I really do try to keep my life as simple as possible. My nieces and nephews laugh at me, but when I retire fully (now I work 3 days a week), my life will not change drastically without that income.
I agree that home-grown food tastes much better, but I live in the city and have nowhere to grow anything. When a neighbor and I planted a tomato bush, people stole the tomatoes before we even had one for ourselves. At that point, he pulled the plant out and threw it away. Maybe one day I will have a little plot of land and I'll grow stuff.
