So they hired a social media manager instead of having a literal actual moonpie write for them. Very smart!

drat I was hoping there was a sentient confectionery tweeting out these strange screeds in order to better understand, and serve, mankind.

And that Wendy was a literal person in charge of the restaurant that bares her name.

There's a library in Cleveland that was converted from a Twinkie Factory that closed 30+ years ago. A lot of the exposed pipes in the place are still full of Twinkie filling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate-coated_marshmallow_treats

quote:

In the Netherlands the name is Negerzoenen ("Negro kisses") though some companies have changed the name to Zoenen ("Kisses"). This led to some controversy, since the Dutch word neger was generally perceived as more neutral compared to the English equivalent negro, which is considered pejorative and racist.[44] Those often package nine per box to create the pun Negen Zoenen ("Nine Kisses").

What a creative way of dodging a bullet.

Neger is no more neutral than negro, they're almost exactly equivalent to each other as outdated and somewhat pejorative terms that you probably shouldn't be using in 2018.

Just last week in Flanders there was controversy over a pastry called negerkop (negro head):



Thankfully this time no one rushed to the defense of our sacred traditions, though I suspect it's largely because most people had never heard of this.

e: lol I should have just quoted this part of the Wikipedia article instead

Well yeah. So was "negro".

Great aunt Lee was born in 1900 and died in 96. She would have considered "colored" to be an unreservedly polite phrase to use, but she was racist af. First time I heard the n-bomb was outta her.

No poo poo. When I was a little kid, I’d hear old people rhapsodize about MOON PIES and every couple years, I’d buy one. ‘gently caress, these things are stale as hell’ would go through my mind, and it would take me quite awhile to forget how crappy they were. Then I’d do it all over again.

I'm pretty sure I like them because I was in daycare when I was a kid, which means lots of snacks of stale graham crackers. I imagine old people have memories of stale graham crackers growing up, too.
