There's an interesting rumor going around about Hostess Twinkies. It states that no new Twinkies have been made by Hostess for years. The Twinkies that you buy at the store were made years ago during a massive overproduction decades ago. The rumor says that this is possible because the Twinkie has indefinite shelf life.

I don't know how these things get started but this is definitely an urban legend. While the Twinkie has an uncommonly long shelf life for baked goods, it will only last about a month.

After doing a post about Coke Blak, I got curious about how popular these energy drinks are. Well it turns out that the supermarkets are actually making a good choice by putting the Coke Blak in the energy drink section.

From an article on NorthJersey.com:
...about 7.6 million American teens are helping to propel energy drinks into a $3.4 billion-a-year industry crowded with more than 500 products (and counting)

Wow, I had no idea that there were that many people who regularly buy these drinks. Between the popularity of energy drinks and coffee shops, we have become a nation of highly caffeinated people.
