This week, erudite minds in Britain answered a long-debated question: are Pringles really potato chips? (Or crisps, in the vernacular there.) It seems they’ve been officially declared as such, ?enabling the taxman to take a multimillion-pound bite of VAT.? Ah, the joys of that universal pastime: snacking.

Does a Twinkie really last forever? Thirty-four years ago, a science teacher at George Stevens Academy in Maine put the myth to the test. He bought a two-pack, ate one, and saved the other Twinkie, still in its wrapper. The Twinkie’s still there, but as one brand manager for Hostess said, “I wouldn’t touch it with a 10-foot pole.”
The pictures say it all. Some aren’t so strange, but then there’s the Bacon and Cheese Crick-ettes. Yum. And why would anyone want their lemon-flavoured chips infused with caffeine?
