Where does the red go?

Fuck if I know but it's one of the ingredients. Maybe to make the yellow a bit more orange? I've never seen a twinkie.

Twinkies are good but I'd rather have one of their cupcakes or zingers

Was this when you were a student or as a teacher?

A student. 4th or 5th grade.
We went on a field trip and had to pack lunches in brown bags.
My mom made me a PBJ snadwich, and threw in a Twinkie and a juice.
We had to leave our lunches on the hot school bus.
Everything was hot and smashed...
I ate it, then a little while later...
I haven't been able to eat those things since.

I can relate...back in 6th(?) grade I had a hot dog that made me
...I couldn't eat hot dogs again until I was in my 20's.

I think it's a literal translation of what you said. "Empalagan" literally translates to "cloy" which means "too much sweetness".

Gotcha.

I did not know that.

Now I have to google that & use it in a sentence.

OK...you need a "care package" sent to you ASAP.
