I had some fellas work on the Fig Garden Project and one of their souvenirs was a box of Hostess Brands products. Okay, full disclosure, I polished off the Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes because some things are so wrong they are right. Plus you have got to support a company mired in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. But the Twinkies: those cross the line. No way. So what better way to celebrate an American icon by seeing how long they will last in a jar? Besides the marshmallow Peeps I have had for 565, no, 595 days could use some company. So in a jar they go, hanging out at the Fig Garden Project. Until the HOA says something, of course.
