Twinkies were one of the 'Mysteries of US Culture' that I wanted to study/experience, when I came over to visit friends in Phoenix a couple of years ago. I had only seen them on the telly and, even then, not close up. Everyone seemed to talk about them, but I had no idea what they were.
Imagine my disappointment, when they said that the company had gone bust and resurrected itself, with 'new' Twinkies. Apparently, they're not the same as the originals.
Bother.....

The Twinkie Myth - Will It Stay Fresh Forever?
Now, when I was a kid, deployed in the middle of the desert, we got these foil wrappers with bread in it. The bread was so soft- I think it had been literally MONTHS since I'd had anything like fresh bread- and although this stuff was nothing like "fresh," it tasted like light, fluffy fresh bread. It was the best. But I do remember calling it "nuclear bread." However, that was nothing compared to the stuff we referred to "nuclear milk." That **** was nasty.

4067AD minus 2015AD is 2052 years from now. 2015AD minus 2052 years ago is 38BC (since there was no 0 AD).
Nothing really notable happened. The Republic was stable under a triumvirate, Octavian was in Rome and Antony was campaigning in Syria. The civil war coming at the end of the decade would see the execution of Ceasarion, the suicide of his mother Cleopatra along with Antony, and the consolidation of Octavian's power.
Many important things related to bicycles had already been invented (wheels, pipes, pulleys, crankshafts). Really it's amazing no one brought it together earlier.

Would have to be a Schwinn Suburban. Nothing else could possibly last that long.
