You know you're old when they're mourning the death of Twinkies. I mean, Twinkies are some new-fangled product. I'm from the pre-Twinkies era. To me, Hostess means chocolate cupcakes with a friendly white squiggle across the top. But these weren't even mentioned in any article or news story I saw. Now that tells me I'm old.
I used to love eating Hostess cupcakes, the forgotten product. In fact, if I had a couple in the house, I'd eat them right now, chemicals and all. But seriously, the absence of any mention of the cupcakes made me feel old. Any other oldsters out there having this reaction?
PS: I tried a Twinkie once. Horrible!

I don't know when my taste buds matured enough that I finally couldn't stomach these but having a mother that couldn't cook or bake probably had a lot to do with the fact i ever ate them at all.
The only thing my mother ever baked was manicotti. Sweet things were banned at our house. But then, my father owned a candy store. There's that.
