Twinkie: Belated birthday wishes

Dear Twinkie: I’m sorry I missed your birthday yesterday. I just got busy and … what? No, I wasn’t busy getting my organic produce delivered — that happens on Wednesdays.

Nevermind. Of course, I have time for you, Twinkie — you’re not outdated at 80. You’re still totally cool. You had central product placement in Zombieland. You’re hip — you’ve inspired vegan and gluten-free versions. Hey, there’s even a woman who has created a felt replica of you.

You’re super popular — Hostess still sells more than 500 million of you ever year. And listen, no matter how many people tell me to just walk on by — the next time I see you deep-fried and on a stick, I’m totally eating you.
