A Conversation From Work the Other Day:
CUSTOMER: * buying a chocolate-covered Twinkie * Do I need to refrigerate this to keep it from spoiling?
ME: * ringing up her chocolate-covered Twinkie * Well, you might want to just to make sure the chocolate doesn't melt, but at a constant temperature chocolate's shelf-stable for months on end. And the Twinkie....is a Twinkie. It wouldn't spoil even if you wanted it to.
CUSTOMER: In retrospect, I should have guessed as much. Not like there's anything organic in Little Debbie snack cakes in the first place.
