The "Limited Edition Chocolate Crème Twinkie" premiered in February 2012 (Just in time for Valentines Day). Unfortunately, Mrs. AlanLeroy rejected the Chocolate Creme Twinkie as a valid token of my love.

After More Than 80 Years Hostess Adds New Twinkies Flavor

They also have a smaller version than standard of the Hostess Cupcake for $1.59. I think they get a 20 pack and price them individually.

A Twinkie just won't cut it on Valentine's Day. Next time try a Swiffer.

I know. I know. I just figured the "Limited Edition" would hold some sway.

I hate how the VP at these stores are now owned by Golden Gaming and not Terribles. I'm not a fan of PT's (GG's) payback percentages. GG now owns all the VP in the grocery and convenience stores that were owned by Terribles. Sigh.

Found the limited twinkie, ate one after dinner. Pretty good, saving the other one for romorrow. Almost like a mouse instead of icing. Thanks Alan for sharing. : D

Do see people walking through the casinos to their rooms carrying packs of beer and soda so lots of Homers visit the Kwik-e-marts of Vegas.

To answer the original question, nothing pisses me off about these stores. I have no reason to go in them.

I expect inflated prices on most items and except for coffee, bag of chips, candy bar, etc. just won't buy. I can wait.

Though Sheetz convenience stores do rock!!
