From Banana, To Vanilla, To Bile-Filled Twinkie

Congratulations! It’s the 80th anniversary of the Twinkie!  Did you know that the Twinkie (invented as an inexpensive treat during the Great Depression) was meant to have a banana cream center, but shortages forced a change to vanilla?

Question for today: Will the “Obama Healthcare Twinkie” (invented as a treat for the dying uninsured) have the same staying power, since shortages forced the “Healthcare Twinkie” to contain a bile-filled center?
