I’m imagining a room filled with marketing folks. They’re all sitting around, trying to come up with a clever name for a brand new snack cake product they would like to launch. One of the ‘brainstormers’ jumps up and yells “I got it!” We’ll call this giant Twinkie-like snack cake a “Creme Filled Long John”. And the rest is history. And someone paid good money for a ridiculous product name such as this…
I found this tasty treat while buying a soda at a gas station while driving down to North Carolina.

Lets see the face pic after you ate the creme filled long john.
BTW ever trouble shoot your site? The comment field runs into the side column on Opera. I know, who the hell uses Opera?

If you would have seen the ingredients, you would have walked away slowly like I did. If you think a Twinkie will last 25 years….
The Opera issue is news to me. I check the site out pretty thouroughly with Firefox, Mozilla and IE; I have a friend who’s an Opera weenie and he hasn’t expressed any issues. What version are you running?
