I hated Twinkies. And because they came with cards starting in 1975, I ate way too many of them. I vividly remember one time buying a couple boxes, saving the cards and organizing a food fight in an alley behind a grocery store with the actual Twinkies. I was told that when the Twinkies reached their expiration date, they would be sent first to a store that sold old bread, then to pig farmers. The pigs, it turned out, didn't mind the Twinkies — or the boxes and cards, which they also devoured.
