Twinkie The Kid, 'Candidates' Carrot Cake and Blueberry Muffin Come to Life in Taste Debate 2008
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- While the candidates for
President bake-up their home stretch strategies, Americans who need help in
choosing their favorite snacks will be able to hear a tastier debate: Taste
Debate 2008. Taste Debate 2008 pits Hostess' 100 calorie favorites, Candidate
Cake and Candidate Muffin, against each other as they make their cases for
election as the country's favorite snack. Twinkie the Kid, the nation's most
iconic snack mascot, known for decades as a major player in the nationwide
snack cake arena, will moderate the sweet spectacle.
The debate, which will take place in a series of videos to be posted on
YouTube, is sure to get to the creme-filled center of the major election year
issues at hand: Which 100 Calorie Snack -- 100 Calorie Cup Cakes or 100
Calorie Muffins -- delivers the taste and satisfaction that consumers crave
without the sacrifice? This is especially important as the growing number of
people who are looking for portion-controlled convenience continues to
increase.
Some of the topics the candidates are expected to address include free
market snacking, health care and American values.
According to Camp Cake, Candidate Cake will continue to push the "Everyone
Deserves Cake" platform he has promoted throughout the campaign in an obvious
appeal to people who are frustrated with luxury snacks that are only for those
with high metabolisms. He is also expected to dispute the attacks from
Campaign Muffin that have probed how having icing and a creme filling means
that you must have more than 100 calories.
Labeled the change candidate and a relatively new 100 calorie snack on the
portion control scene, aides from Camp Muffin report that Candidate Muffin
will unveil details for his "Free Market Snacking" plan during the first
debate -- although initial reports from people close to the campaign worry
that Muffin's talk of a potential "Nanny State" that wouldn't allow you to
enjoy breakfast anytime of the day if Candidate Cake were to win office is
fear-mongering.
According to snack cake veteran Twinkie the Kid, we should expect the
"dough slinging to rise" as Candidate Muffin works to slice out an edge over
Candidate Cake in the country's Northern Blueberry Belt and Candidate Cake
continues to build momentum in the Southern Icing Edge, which has be known as
"Cake Country" since the New Deal.
