Have you had a twinkie or a ding dong lately??

I'm from America but live in Japan now. On a recent trip back to the states I impulsively bought a box of each to take back to Japan. As a kid I remember loving these things but when I ate them they didn't taste as good as I remember. What gives? Am I getting old or have the recipes changed? Try one now and let me know.

Yes!!! I knew it was my aging tastebuds. I would be more jealous of you if they hadn't changed the shortening.
