I brew my own, including some that take a fair amount of time to age in the keg. I can tell you, six months maximum - the stuff just evaporates or something. 30 year old beer? Impossible! 
LOL! What morons! I bet they thought they were being so clever, too.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Or they could have just put that 100 grand into their kids university fund.

I had a beanie baby, but I cannot recall what happened to it.

Once the plants stopped making it and people thought it was worth a lot of money to collectors, they didn't drink what they had bought and saved it for years. Even to this day there's plenty of unopened cans out there. You can even get them on ebay. Same also goes for M*A*S*H beer and JR beer, both made from the popularity of TV shows, but turned out to be pretty lousy beers. However, as with Billy Beer there's this recurring idea that the cans are worth a lot of money to collectors.

Now we have the same product from the company of "Hostess Brands". Indistinguishable from the old type of twinkie. But that doesn't make twinkies worthless. It's a freaking twinky! Inherent worth right there.

If someone had one that was sitting around for over a year, I'd be inclined to disagree with you. I don't care how many preservatives they put into those things. Anything with a shelf life becomes worthless after so much time passes.

That twinky would be in my belly before the day was over.

I'm really not a big fan of Twinkies. Now Ding Dongs, on the other hand...
