Give us this day our daily bread....

Only please Lord, don't make it Wonder Bread because they've filed for bankruptcy and their stock isn't worth crap.

Heavens to Betty Crocker, it's finally happened. Interstate Foods, makers of Wonder Bread and Twinkies, announced the filing earlier today.

If you were bold enough to actually have held onto stock in a company that makes bread "kids like to play with" and sweet snacks that an adolecent in 1985 could have stashed in her hope chest and found 15 years later still in tact, then maybe you're due whats comin' to you.

Had we women of the new millennium been adults then, we'd of told you the company was doomed from the start.

We're the ones who had to eat the stuff, afterall.

Look, supermom, we aren't blaming you. We love the supermom. The supermom worked and cooked and came to our swim meets. We love the supermom because she took her own vacations, with out superdad. We love supermom because she taught us how to love life and how to add fractions.

And so we aren't going to raise an eyebrow at her for seeing a pratical alternative to baking her own bread and sweet treats, even if those alternatives were packed with preservatives and wrapped in cellophane.

Supermom, Interstate Foods led you astray. They made you forget Mrs. Randolph's famous words, "put everything to its proper use" by tricking you into believing that Twinkies were food meant to be eaten and not a bricks meant for stopping doors.

You were duped.

But now? Well, forgive them their trespasses.
