By god, a positive one!
Another installment from Lessons Learned by RT So You Don't Have To
If you're throwing a party and have no real clue whether or not you're entertaining 100 or 300 people in K-Swiss, leotards, cut off sweat shirts, braided headbands, leg warmers and weight belts (the Hanz and Franz guys were particularly inspired), Twinkies are excellent food items to serve your guests. They're individually wrapped, easy to eat, and go well with the drink (titled "Richard Simmons was a Fruit" and consisting of grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, vodka and tripple sec).
The Ho-Hos were actually better, but not quite as universally revered. A lengthy discussion with a caterer about whether or not Ho-Hos would do well with a raspberry reduction sauce probably sent at least three people to their kitchens for experimentation.
The only real shocker was that my dad apparently had never heard of a Twinkie before. He was fairly quickly educated on the matter and approved wholeheartedly once he had one. Or two. Or maybe five.
