More timely advice from Worldly Mac

Dear Worldly Mac,

I am deeply troubled by the ongoing Twinkie difficulties. I grew up with Twinkies as a constant companion. They give me great solace during times of strife. During the calamity of 2012/13 when Twinkies weren’t available in the US, I made several drives to Canada to secure a supply. This was very difficult as I live on an off-shore island.

Ignoring the cars I lost before I thought of driving one on a steamer, there was the time involved.

I live in constant fear that Twinkies will once again be impossible to buy. I am losing sleep with my anxieties. What should I do?

Signed,

Off-shore Twinkie Addict.

Dear Off-shore Twinkie Addict,

Dude or dudette, I understand your dilemma. These are troubled times in which we live.

Do as I did. Dig a bunker under your house. Line it with lead, so that no radiation can get in, then order a couple of truckloads (or in your case, ‘boatloads’) of Twinkies from your local grocer. Problem solved.

Not to worry, they have a shelf life longer than you’re going to have if you eat that many!

Bon appétit!

Worldy Mac
