YOU have got to be KIDDING ME!

    I went grocery shopping for the camper last Saturday. Needed to stock up on my favorite man cave foods.

    I spied the familiar box of Hostess Twinkies and the slogan “Sweetest Comeback In The History Of Ever” put a smile on my face as I grabbed a box of 10.

    Just a few moments ago I though it would be a great time to have a mid afternoon Twinkie snack. I had a hard time finding a way to open the box so like any normal guy, I just ripped open the end.

    The first thing I said was “what the ‘ell do they need this big of a box for FIVE Twinkies?”

    Then I looked closer and the box said TEN!

    The only person in my camper this weekend was Jesse Krook.

    But a through inspection of the box shows it wasn’t tampered with and I was just shorted my Twinks from the factory.

    I’ll be drafting a letter to Hostess in a few moments.

    My question is: How much should I seek for emotional damages?

    I have a hard time believing that it did not come with 10 in the box !!!

    I smell Stink bait or a RAT..

    I can’t believe it either!

    The box is completely sealed with the exception of where I opened it.

    That might be why Jesse’s last name is Krook.

    Don’t write a nasty gram to Hostess! They did you a favor with a 50% reduction in stuff that’s not good for ya. Cigarette companies and ice cream producers should consider the same!

    You sure you didn’t eat them earlier? I mean at your age and now being a Grandpa. How is your memory?

    Anyone seen Chirp around lately? Odd that we haven’t heard from him.

    I sent an email Mossy. Included photo’s of the box and so on.

    I’m not so concerned about getting coupons, I just don’t want anyone else to be emotionally scarred as I am now.

    I think in China 10 mines 5. Does a Chinese company own Twinkies company now? How many cream holes are there in the bottom of the Twinkies, [Maybe] they count just the holes.

    Hi Gramps,

    First off how are you? I hope your feeling well.
    Did you get your nap in before you lost your twinkies?
    Or did you just wake up and they were gone?

    You will soon find out, that you are now going to start misplacing a lot of things.
    Don’t let it bother you though,you can it make easier on yourself by simply writing things down on paper so you can remember later. Just don’t forget where you left your pen and paper. Better yet maybe you should use a pencil, that should keep you from having those nasty ink spots on your shirt pockets.
    Of course if you would rather use a ink pen, you could always use one of your old pocket protectors, if you can find them.
    Ok, back to your missing twinkies.
    Check under your pillow they are probably right next to your missing can of spam.

    I’m with you on this. There is no price you can put on shorting a guy on his Twinkies! He77, it’s Un-American! Go get ’em, don’t stop until you get a written apology and a promise that they will never let it happen again.

    Time to put up a deer camera and see who/what really happened to the missing Twinkies.

    I had Twinkie Fever and ate one before taking the picture.

    I hope Chirp is ok…having seen him for a while on line.

    No, it wasn’t the Krook or even Trumar. I had my eyes on them the whole time they were here. I would have taken some time to get them out of the box with out damaging the seal.

    I’m going for the throat with the Hostess Company BH. Lost a whole days worth of work from the strife.

    I’m guessing they don’t get moving until around 9 am in Kansas City.

    Funny thought;

    If they can’t figure out putting ten twinkies in the box, it makes you wonder what they put in the twinkies.

    Considering modern day packaging equipment you’d think a guy would get a full box, there’s one way to look at it, it might be the tail end of the run that day and you got the very end of that run which would make it the freshest even though it was only a half box, if that’s any consolation. One things forsure I’ll be shaking the next box to see if its full, you going too?
