But I've noticed this for a while and it seems they've gotten even smaller than what I last remembered them 10 years ago. In fact, Pop Tarts, Candy Bars, and the like have ALL gotten smaller since the 70s/80s. They runnin' mad game on us: They make these treats smaller yet CHARGE MORE than what they did back then! Fuck 'em! I'm gonna protest and then boycott...After I finish this box. 
[Says all this while putting away 2 more Zingers...Cuz deep down, it's STILL the bomb-ass Zinger  ]Funny you mentioned Zingers. I can remember working for a bank operations center about 15 years ago. I used to take our work to be processed in the federal reserve operations next door. They had snack machines that were a lot cheaper than ours. I had a co worker that would always send me over there to get him some dick cakes. I'm like wtf. Man get me some dick cakes. One of my other co workers said Zingers. I said oh that charlie brown shit. I say man just call them zingers. Don't ever tell another man about getting you know damn dick cakes. Maybe that's why he called them dick cakes when they were long as fuck.  [Edited 10/12/08 22:06pm] Don't laugh at my funk

I used to love this kind of double chocolate devils food type twinkie from Hostess called "Choco-Bliss." We used to have a Hostess Outlet in my neighborhood and I'd get it every time we'd go there.

I used to love going to the store after school (sometimes before), and getting a 99 cent bag of these.
The bags were so big, I couldn't eat them by myself. I had to share with my friends. We did that all the time. Now, the size of the 99 cent bag of Flamin' Hots are patetic!!! I also loved these as a kid!!!  JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!! | |
