Oops -- sorry about your poor tummy muscles being tested (but *you* started it *g* -- I seriously cannot think of that "throwaway" sentence of yours without succumbing to delight).

Hey, nice use of "y'all" -- a mere few days in the South and you've got one of the most important, not to mention useful & addictive, Southern skills downpat!

Oh, yeah -- Food Lion will almost undoubtedly have Twinkies (at least they do in Georgia) ::continues to sob quietly:: But you may be forced to buy an entire box of them; I don't know that they sell Twinkies on the loose, as it were.

Yes, I can imagine a donut going stale on your journey home, but you need have no fear of that for your Twinkies. Twinkies will probably outlive us as a species.

Don't know what the Flake and cream egg you mentioned is ::lifts head hopefully at the possibility that someone else's country is also guilty of really embarrassing food:: ...but if it inures you to the hardship of transporting Twinkies, then that must be a good thing. :-)

To think, if I hadn't joined LJ I would have missed all this, this...Twinkie discussion.... .... ......
