I'm a route driver for Wonder Bread/Hostess Cake. If I was to buy one of these $75 dollar jerseys, which do you think I should get?

Something about a Twinkie, the epitome of bad for you food, on a cycling jersey makes me laugh. Get the Twinkie.

I voted "twinkie" because Greg Lemond always said that he ate them while racing/training.

No question, got to be wonder bread. Brings back fond memories of Bob Keshin about forty years ago. That would be Captain Kangaroo for the unenlightened.

Tough choice...Twinkie is cooler, but I like the graphics better on the Wonder bread.

I was in love with the little blonde Wonder bread girl back in the %0's, so I'll have to go with that one, I guess.

If they were offering you one free, I'd say go with Wonder. But for your own hard-earned money? For $5 more, you can buy two jerseys from Mt. Borah.

Sorry neither...I do like the looks of The WOnder bread jersey. BUt Campbell's Full of Beans wins out...I prefer other cyclists to not be on my tail.

If I wore the Wonder bread jersey while eating a Twinkie would I look like the Pillsbury dough boy?

Probably!

According to Bicycling Magazine Twinkies are a great source of fuel for rides. 2 of them provide 286 calories-
68% from carbohydrate and only 26% from fat
