The Twinkie has had a bad rep lo these many decades. But thanks to the T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. (tests with inorganic noxious kakes in extreme situations) Project, conducted in 1995 at Rice University, we can all gain a new appreciation of this astonishing para-culinary phenomenon. And besides their as-yet-undetermined but doubtless considerable scientific applications, Twinkies™ remain an excellent source of thiamin mononitrate and polysorbate 60.
[Ed. note: Faithful Cybercorner readers may remember our featured site on Sept. 3, 2002—http://www.fsinet.or.jp/%7Esokaisha/rabbit/rabbit.htm. They may not. In any case, that site’s star, a plucky little rabbit named Oolong, recently died. The Varsity is confident Oolong is now in a better place, or at least a place where he is afforded a modicum of lapine dignity.
