New Devilment

…I mean development. As though Twinkies were not bad enough, the Hostess Baking Company has launched Bouncers.

“Wait, Kim… you mean like bouncing boobies?”

No.  I mean mini-Twinkies presented in sealed three-packs, but glazed — as though regular Twinkies were not sufficiently enticing.  (They kinda do look like mini-boobies, though.)

Of course, this being a full-service blog, I had to test them (so that my Loyal Readers won’t have to).

Verdict:  more than two (their “suggested servicing size” is three) will leave you “OMG-I’m-gonna-hurl” nauseated.

I had six.  Because Science.

  1. wunnerful.
    Since this past Sun my wife and I are holding a contest to see who stays off sugar the longest. You, Kim, are trying to make me lose. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

  2. It’s the damndest thing – I turned 40 & my sweet tooth disintegrated. I could eat a quart of Dreyer’s Mocha Almond Fudge at a sitting once upon a time. Now… meh. Even with the sweet tooth, I was never enamored of the processed sugars/chemicals/food dyes excreted by the Hostesses of the world.

    On a somewhat related note – 18 months ago I was tipping the scales at 187 lbs. Not a good place to be at 5’6″. I weighed in a couple weeks ago at 164.5; another 5-10 pounds & I’ll be close enough to the target so as to declare victory.

    The first & most productive step was nuking the alcohol – booze makes me eat. Once I’m where I want to be, I’m considering one STIFF cocktail a week – as opposed to one every day, which was previously my wont. Most typically 3 fingers of scotch, Irish whisky or bourbon. I’m thinking of mixing it up – literally. Any mixed drink suggestions? Bearing in mind the no sweet tooth provision? And stiff. Don’t forget stiff.

    1. I drastically cut back on beer consumption in 2016/2017 and moved to spirits.

      Bourbon cocktails, some are good with rye:
      Manhattan
      Pendergast
      Old Fashioned
      Sometimes I put bourbon in lemonade over the summer. it’s very good but simply lemonade is very high in sugar

      Classic martinis with gin of course. experiment if you like them dirty (add a little olive brine to the cocktail. weird but good)

      Scotch cocktails:
      drink it neat or not at all. ice cubes even arouse suspicions on why anyone would do that.

      Vodka:
      Unless you’re a suburban housewife trying to lose weight, avoid it for the most part unless you drink it chilled neat and it is good Polish vodka.

  3. so now you can get your overly sweet pastries in dick shapes or tit shapes. Is this a response to the gender fluid nonsense other companies are embracing?

  4. Let everyone else kvetch – I, for one, appreciate your dedication to keeping us informed. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to Dollar General.
