Starting with a Twinkie, it's pretty hard to go wrong. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 17, 2005 8:40 AM

Indeed--provided you keep it well away from your mouth, the possibilities of doing something worthwhile with a Twinkie are endless.

For a short time in my twenties, due to my own extreme fiscal mismanagement and, well, sloth, I was completely and in every way broke except for 80-or-so cents. I was very, very hungry and my goal was to purchase the most calories for my money. After carefully surveying an entire grocery store, I settled on Twinkies as the most efficient calories-for-cost delivery system.
I hope my vital research has helped someone out there.
