I don't know if I'd trust any story about a 30-year old twinkie, but 
I wouldn't doubt it. A friend of mine when he lived in very-rainy 
Ketchikan, Alaska, for a joke put one out on his window ledge where 
the pigeons used to set. After several years, the twinkie was still 
there, looking essentially the same although fairly gray. The pigeons 
ignored it completely (G).

Do I trust that story? Yes, but only because I know Amalric and his 
twisted sense of weirdness.
