The Lone Twinky

"Why me?" The lonely twinky said in a squeaky voice. "Why does everyone pick the chocolate and peanut butter cakes? Why not me?"
The Vanilla twinky was by itself on an empty shelf. Someone had picked him up and was going to buy him when they saw the exotic chocolate and peanut butter cakes. They dropped him on the nearest shelf and filled their carriage with chocolate while he sat there feeling worthless. He didn't know why no one wanted him. He was fresh and had a delicious creamy filling, or so he was told. That didn't matter though. Vanilla is the old and chocolate, and peanut butter are the new. There was nothing left for him to do but sit and mope. He was feeling the lowest when all of a sudden a young girl came by and picked him up.
"Can I have this one mommy?" the child begged.
"Don't you want the chocolate one?" the mother asked.
"Yuck, chocolate is gross!"
When the Vanilla twinky heard that, he knew there was hope at last.

  1. Awww I love this. Now I really want to go out and buy a Twinky. This is makes me feel bad for all the Twinkys that haven't been bought. Luckily they live for about one hundred years, so someone will buy them eventually.
