Perhaps Twinkies will be deemed too big to fail, in which case we can hope for a U.S. Department of Ding Dongs, who understand how to run an empty-calories snacking business, and who will usher in a change of recipe that substitutes wheat germ and algae for the old corn syrup and goo, so as to lessen the drag on our soon -to-be (if not nipped in the butt) public health care system.
