RIP Twinkies and Twinkie the Kid

The rules are the same as previous FOFC "I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s most widely beloved and solemnly revered founding fathers.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Yes, that word "product" means that they will be multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. Just don't be an asshat, and this should end well.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. The administrator's decisions are final and utterly inarguable, no exceptions.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However, your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "What is the most hated college in America?" and you join 4 other misguided souls in answering "Duke University" then you get your 5 points even if the technically correct answer is "The University of Notre Dame."

The Questions

It has been a very sad and traumatic time in Stupid's life. Twinkies have died and there is a emptiness in Stupid's heart bigger than the space where Twinkies once sat on Wal-Mart shelves. So as Twinkie mourns...

After Twinkies, what Hostess product will Stupid miss the most?


2- Stupid has one unopened box of Twinkies. When he takes the first package out, what does Stupid drink with his treat?


3- Stupid’s box of Twinkies holds ten 2-packs of cake-filled creamy goodness. He enjoys the first two-pack immediately, but how long does Stupid wait before finishing the entire box?


4- Stupid is incredibly sad at the loss of his beloved Twinkies, what does he now snack on as a replacement?


5- Stupid discovers that Twinkies are being sold on E-bay and his heart leaps up! What is the maximum he will spend on a box of ten Twinkies?

6- While Stupid is sad, the world is in upheaval. Assuming that Twinkies are never revived, what food now becomes the food people plan on using for apocalyptic survival.


Please PM all responses to PurdueBrad and put IWS 206 in the title. I plan on closing this in one week, on November 24th, 2012.
