I have a loaf of unopened Wonderbread that is over 12 years old. A little dry, but still looks the same as the day I bought it.Quote

On a canoe trip in the Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota during the 60's, we took Wonder bread which we compressed to about 10% of its original size to optimize space. The week-long trip required strict rationing and lunchtime sandwiches per person consisted of jelly spread on two paper thin slices of bread peeled off the stack. Far short of the needed calories for teenagers.

One good thing is that the current unused packaged baked goods could "remain fresh" beyond a typical human lifespan.
That Wonder Bread survived the Interstate Bakeries bankruptcy was a minor miracle.
I still grieve the loss of pilot bread or pilot crackers, which we used as bread and Frisbees in Alaska in the 80's.

Those coconut flaked red cakes were awesome. Now Hostess just seems to take the Twinkies line and add the topping.
Have you had one lately?
They are just as delicious as ever... (we've taken them out in the backcountry... can't seem to find a faux-toe 4u though)

Is that really necessary? Don't they have a half-life longer than plutonium-239?Quote
