| - I remember these stores on just about EVERY street corner in Waikiki, and now we also have them scattered around the strip too.
While we were waiting on our order of deep fried twinkies @ Mermaids, we were chatting with the lady about the whole Hostess ordeal and she tipped us off about maybe scoring some Hostess items "across the street"...I'm a big fan of food collectibles-from rare food toys, food and wine books and magazines, menus of places that have closed down, to old school Primo Beer with the old formula still in the bottles, etc.....
We went across the street not expecting to find anything, but low and behold, tucked away in the back-Zingers of every flavor, Ho-Ho's, and the last packages of Chocolate Cupcakes, and Sno-Balls. I grabbed one of every package to add to my collection. Who knows how long these are gonna last, but with the amount of preservatives in these things, probably a pretty long time. Is it the last of these iconoic items Americans grew up with??? We shall see...there are already talks about saving the popular Twinkie...ALOHA!!!
