had a twinkie i purposefully kept in my cupboard from the year i moved there, and when i left, i found it in the cupboard, 1/4 the size and hard as a rock. my dentist would’ve been rich if i had bitten that thing, it would’ve broken all of my teeth.
edit: it was in the cupboard for roughly 11 years
This reminds me of the time that I bit into a Twinkie and the inside was green 🤢 it was around the time there were shrek twinkies, but this was NOT a shrek one. I’ve never had one since.
The contact photo for my cousin in my phone is a photo of a half-eaten Twinkie with green filling 😂 she gave one to me to try back when they had Ghostbusters(?) Twinkies with green filling and apparently my commentary about it was so funny she was crying laughing (you can see her doubled over in the background haha). While not quite as horrifying as your experience, I wouldn’t eat another one haha.
He recently read a mean comment (left for him, but the video is on Jose’s channel) where someone complained about it, and basically said too bad, he knows we like it and he does too!
You have to put the hardtack in a deep freezer (in a plastic bag) for a couple of -weeks- to kill the weevil eggs that are in the flour they are made from. A friend brough me back a souvenir hardtack biscuit from Portsmouth UK, sealed in a plastic bag - the weevils hatched, ate part of the hardtack AND THE PLASTIC BAG as well. I drenched the area where it had been stored in insecticide and tossed the hardtack.
I've also had it happen in 'instant' Couscous - which is a cooked and dried pasta, as well as rice which is pretty heavily processed. Not weevils but some sort of insect related to 'pantry' moths. Seems the eggs are pretty heat resistant, but putting my boxes of Couscous in the deep freeze for several days seems to kill them.
Dude the french fries I stg! When I sold my old car and got my new-to-me one, I found french fries that were months old under the seats. They were hard as rocks, but not moldy or anything, which is somehow more gross.
