It’s better than Trump seems to have. Now I want to see what kind of cake they would get him.

I’m more amazed at the idea that I’ve never thought of a Twinkie cake before.
Yes Twinkies will survive the apocalypse and they are dubious frosted origin at best but damn it they’re delicious. And I kind of want that cake now. Does that make me a horrible person?

It’s the beef that makes them special! (For real)

I must ask that you NOT tease videos like this if you can’t deliver on the implied promise of Romney farting out candles on all fours like a cat in heat

Hostess went bankrupt and was bought out several years ago. The new company fired all of the previously unionized workers that wouldn’t take a significant pay cut.
Since then, everything they make tastes like shit.

That is Mitt Romney’s business career at Bain Capital in a nutshell, so he’s got something in common with his favourite snack.

Were they so much smaller before the bankruptcy and buyout? Or is this a new owner thing? Even when I’m tempted to buy one, they’re so much smaller than the Hostess products of my youth that I can’t do it.

If this video shows Romney puckering his lips, then I’m taking a pass on watching it.
I’m just wondering, they all sing “Senator Romney”. Would his staff all call him this? Would no-one just call him Mitt? It seems awfully formal to me. But I’m from New Zealand where we are quite a lot less formal than Americans seem to be.
I am now ambivalent about buying them from that. I do break down for Zingers (originally from Dolly Madison) every once in awhile.
ETA when they were scarce Safeway had store brand ‘twinkies’ that were just as good.

You don’t get it do you? See. . . my method is to sneeze on the cake, then it’s ALL MINE.

I can’t get over “my favorite snack—twinkies!” Either he’s an aesthetically-deprived/stunted sad bastard if that’s true, or it isn’t true, and it’s some sort of weird fake populism or he’s trying to put a brave face on a weirdly underwhelming birthday gesture (“We couldn’t be bothered to get you a cake, but the gas station had some Twinkies…”).
“Because these Twinkie brand snack cakes are a popular human snack, they are my favorite, since I am a regular human being!”

He seems more believable as a pseudo-human than Ted Cruz at least.

I dunno - Ted makes a pretty believable asshole anyways.

I can’t tell from that when they started shrinking the size of the cakes. But they’re definitely smaller. They were still the original company when we would get them—in college there was a Hostess store that would discount once a week, and we’d all head over and buy a ton. I wasn’t a big fan of Twinkies, but liked cupcakes and Ho-Hos.
I also had a preference for Zingers. Those were awesome.

Oh yeah that would be when. The new owners.
