Later that afternoon you're talking to another neighbor and he asks asks you why you paid so much, first 'cause it was just a twinkie and who the hell would pay $20 for one of those, and then 'cause last he heard Junior was only asking 2.50 for it. So...did you get taken, or should you just be happy that you got your twinkie fix?

idiotic.
