Talk:Fancy Lads snack cakes

you know twikeys are the only thing that can sevive a nucler holicost
 * If you really believe that, you are severely deluded.
 * LOL despite rumors to the contrary, Twinkies are baked snack cakes and don't have a very long shelf life at all, around 25 days; yes, that's pretty long for baked goods, but it's far from indefinite. Also, there's nothing about them that makes them particularly impervious to radiation, though food in general, if kept away from direct contact with fallout, tends to by largely unaffected by radiation. As far as withstanding a direct bomb strike, they'd survive just as well as a slice of wheat bread. -- 22:51, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * But the myth is still around. Cockroaches won't actually survive the nukes either, fruit flies will. Nitty Tok. 22:54, September 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why that myth is still around when it's been disproven many times is beyond me. 22:55, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

In the article
I don't think this should be referenced in the article. There's a lot of pre-War food items and most don't have myths regarding improbably long shelf life. It's just as likely that they're put in the game randomly as it is that they're a nod to the Twinkie myth. -- 22:58, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could make that arguement for a lot of the cultural references in the game. I'd keep it, it's not hurting anybody and is quite a significant nuclear myth. Nitty Tok. 23:01, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Irradiated Version
There is an Irradiated Fancy Lads Snack Cakes too. So, someone might want to add an article about it (as they did for the other irradiated versions -- e.g., Irradiated Beer, Irradiated Cram, Irradiated Barrel Cactus, etc.).

Capitalisation
An administrator needs to change the snack cakes to Snack Cakes, as it is part of a product name. Trolly Polly Olly 00:10, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Negative. We've been through this, before you even came to this wiki. It stays as it is. -- 00:12, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
