Now That's Shelf Life...

I'm not a huge snack food eater, but there are a few things that I really do enjoy from time to time... Hostess HoHos are one of those.

Ever since I was a kid, I loved HoHos. And only Hostess HoHos...

Little Debbie Snack Cakes? Other brand Swiss rolls?

Fuhgeddaboudit... There's just no comparison in the taste or texture.

When I was a kid, they came wrapped in tin foil. Today, they're plastic wrapped, just like their cousin, Ding Dongs (also known as Big Wheels, King Dong's or King Don's depending on your age and where you might have lived. And yes, the last word refers to a bell..).

Today, I couldn't help but take notice of something. The expiration date...

I know that most snack foods are pumped full of preservatives. It's just really comforting to know that if I somehow become cryogenically frozen and get thawed out before the year 71107, I can still enjoy my HoHo's....
