Today, after getting back from a year-long world trip, I nearly fell on my knees and cried when I saw boxes of Twinkies at my local gas station. Finding out they were back was the highlight of the year. FML

AwkwardPartyBear tells us more.

I feel that I should have explained a bit further about the trip. A group and I went for charity causes (sort of like a Meals on Wheels world tour donation- just with a group). We could have shipped goods, but as someone said in the group, "it took out the adventure in the purpose". Although, we didn't explore as much as we meant to.. and instead donated/volunteered in different charity events throughout the year in different cities/countries. I'm happy among the fact that we helped the cause, but it was not much of a world-adventure as some FML commenters picture it. But I did buy a shitload of Twinkies and embarrassed myself hugging the boxes while crying rivers in the middle of the gas station.

Damn! That must have been the most boring world trip known to man kind!

You don't have a very interesting life, do you?

Twinkles are amazing!!!! Wayyyyy better than snowballs

Ah reverse culture shock does strange things to one's mental state. I lost it when I found out the $5 bill had been made purple.

I'd say fyl, but you got to travel the world, so im jelly. Your life is hella cool. You traveled the world AND got Twinkies. My butt is firmly planted at home and I have Sara Lee snack cakes. FML.

If it makes you feel any better, I was at work when I found out hostess came back and ended up weeping all over a box of cupcakes in the middle of our sales floor.

You obviously didn't travel the world right! I honestly didn't even know they were back until a couple of weeks ago. Those things are nasty!

I feel for you OP, twinkies is what defines us in life, I'm so happy they are back.

What's with America and Twinkies? they aren't even that good
