Awesome Town is getting a new gas station/mini mart. They’ve been building the place for the past few months, but put signs up last week and decorated the inside this week.
While walking past and peeking in the windows, I noticed something- three quarters of the shelves in the place are already filled with foodstuffs–chips, twinkies, candy, etc. They haven’t said when the place will open, but I’m guessing it’s another week or two away. This got me to thinking- that’s a lot of stuff that will be sitting around before people even get a chance to buy it. But somehow, because of all the chemicals contained within each item, they will still legally be able to sell it and people will be able to eat it.
I’ve had a lot of junk food in my day. But this got me thinking- with all this stuff in there sitting around, waiting to be bought and eaten, it can’t be that nutritious, or otherwise good for you.
So welcome to Awesome Town, new gas station. I may stop to fill up my car. But after seeing all that food sitting around, I probably won’t be stopping to fill myself up.
I can confirm that Twinkies can sit wrapped on a shelf for about 13 months before it becomes completely uneatable. Not say you’d want to eat a Twinkie that is even 6-months old, but after about a year, the Twinkie becomes way too hard and crunchy to eat.
If I ever survive an apocalypse and year-old Twinkies are the only thing left to eat, I’d eat them. Other than that, probably not.
One time, back in high school, I got a two-pack of Twinkies. One didn’t have the filling. Nastiest thing I’ve ever eaten.
