They're Back ...

 ... but not as good as I remember them.  And the cake is much smaller than I remember. And you probably remember the infamous "Twinkies Defense."

We generally walked to Evergreen High School.  On the way home, we stopped in at a small grocer on the corner of 116th SW and Ambaum Boulevard.

The favored treat, in ranking order:

•  Hostess Cup Cakes
•  Hostess sno balls
•  Hostess Twinkies

and a bottle of

•  Hines Root Beer
•  Canada Dry Ginger Ale
•  Orange Crush

Of course, the practice was frowned upon by Mom, since it was just hours from dinner time.

But boy, those were the days!
