About those Twinkies…

So if you’ve been following this blog—or just know me in general—you know I have this thing about Twinkie consumption, and I was earlier theorizing that the acrobats of Le Grand Cirque were going to eat ‘em up.

12 seconds. It took 12 seconds to empty a 12 pack. That’s 12 Twinkies. Never mind that previous to that they had inhaled the dozen cupcakes, 24 whoopie pies (after they got over their bona-fide fear of them), anisette cookies, and Oreos. I threw out a box of Devil Dogs, and those lasted 30 seconds. I saw these zero body fat Japanese children stuffing them into the sleeves of their track suits before heading out to chain smoke butts on the loading dock. And this was also after I almost had my ass handed to me for the first time in my professional career: these kids ate like starving wildebeests. Their tour manager told me I was the only caterer who had ever NOT run out of food.

I have witnesses.
