Nation Faces Twinkie Crisis

Bakery Strike Creates Regional Shortage

PORTLAND, Maine, Updated 10:16 a.m. EST March
21, 2000 – Twinkie lovers beware: There soon could be a nationwide shortage of the popular snack food.

          A Teamsters strike against a
          bakery company has created
          shortages of Twinkies,
          Wonder Bread and other
          products in parts of the
          Northeast.

The union says the effects could soon be felt across the country.

mmmmm Twinkies. The Ultimate in phallic snack fare.

I will not carve gods.

Damn, and if we have a nuclear war, we wont have any food since Twinkies are the only “food” that could survive such a catastrophe.

I remember going to a Vancouver Canadians (now defunct) baseball game about 12 years ago for my birthday. Oh, woe was upon the poor man in the Twinkie the Kid outfit that day, being assaulted by a dozen grubby, remorseless 8 year olds.

Twinkie the Kid on Weston Bakery day… I didn’t really think Twinkies were that big in Canada.

Ah, so that explains it. Mrs. Trion and I were watching TV last night and one of those news blurbs came on. You know “Twinkie shortage. Film at 11.” We looked at each other like the world had gone mad.

This has got to be the epitome of Slow News Day.

I won’t stand for this! Let’s round up the scabs and the strikebreakers and get these people back to work. We need our Twinkies! Anyone got a billy club I can borrow? Oh yeah, and to make up for the strike, I say 12 hour days with half the pay for all Twinkie workers!

Last time I was in L.A. there sure didn’t seem to be a Twinkie shortage . . . Oh—you mean the snack cake? Never mind . . .
