re: #140 bratwurst

The Twinkies we used to know had a shelf life of 26 days. For what is ostensibly a “baked good”, that is frightening. But the new Twinkies soon to hit the shelves will have a shelf life of 45 days! If that weren’t bad enough, some will be delivered to stores frozen so retailers can stamp their own expiration dates on the “cakes”!

For some reason, I keep reading “shelf life” as “half-life”.
