One day, I was rushed for work (got out of school at 3:30 and had to be at work - across town - at 4:30) so my wonderful mother had a twinkie and a glass of milk sitting out for me when I got home, since she knew my lunch was at 10:30 am, and I wouldn't eat again until 7 pm. Eager to eat, change for work and leave. I started to scarf down the twinkie when I realized
there was mold growing inside it!!!! I quickly spit my mouthful out in the sink, gagged for about a minute, changed and left for work. Later, mom told me that the package of twinkies had expired a month earlier, but since it was a twinkie, she figured it would never really "go bad".
Ever since, I've been great about checking expiration dates ... and I haven't eaten a twinkie in at least three years!
