Good point. I recently read an article regarding the “Made in China” versus “Made in America” labeling of Walmart products and it turns out that the latter number is increasing, while the former is dropping. Increasingly, China is also facing stiffer competition from places like Vietnam, Central American countries and Eastern European countries as China’s costs to manufacture and ship increase.
I’d like to see a Russian-themed Twinkie line as envisioned by Vladimir Putin and mass produced in the Ukraine. We could dredge up all sorts of funky Cold War shit with that. America’s iconic snack food “built” by hard-line totalitarians!

Have the factory near Chernobyl… and you can measure change the discussion from the “shelf life” of twinkies to the “half life” of twinkies. 🙂

UCGal: You rock! That was hilarious! I think we’ve also both now officially dated ourselves…
Chernobyl was, what, 1986? Holy shit! Reagan was still Prez!
One of the kids I coach was asking me when I was in the Army and I told him the 1980s and he looked at me and went, “Wow, you are REALLY old!” He enjoyed some extra sprints that practice.
