It was bound to happen sooner or later. After all, we're goofier and sillier than you know. And with pugs running around, there's always plenty of cuteness for us to share too.

What else? Keep reading...

We also provide reviews, top picks, and secret, momentary bonus offers and discounts. Catch them while you can.

Best of all: pugs.

Rolly.

Eat Your First Or Last Hostess Twinkie at Empire's Comics Vault

When we hear the sad, sad news -- Hostess is going out of business and there will be no more Twinkies in the world. -- Ben ran out and bought up all the boxes of Twinkies off the shelves of our local Smart & Final. What a Twinkie-loving man!

Other customers watching him greedily grab up all the Twinkies made comments, like,
"Hedging your bets?" and "I guess you want to make sure you don't run out of Twinkies!"

Embarrassed, he offered the line, "We're throwing a party!" And, we kind of, sort of, are!

So, to mourn the loss of the Twinkie, while supplies last...
