He didn't really understand just how unhealthy it was. I explained that if you left a Twinkie out in the open for three years and then came back to it, it would still be there, completely in tact. I also told him that cockroaches and bacteria don't even touch it because they can sense something strange about it.

Now he says he'll never eat anything like that again.

Yay, mission accomplished.

they are a strange phenomenon. The expiration date is like 16 years from the date of packaging. That right there is a dead giveaway that there is something different about the twinkie!

You're better off drinking your own urine than consuming just one twinkie.
