Remember those old Hostess ads they used to have in comic books? No? Well, see, back in the 70s, there was a whole series of Hostess comic book ads where the good guys use the amazing power of Twinkies, cupcakes, Hostess Fruit Pies, and other "baked goods" to solve even the most impossible situations.

There's an archive of them here . Warning: The comments in the sidebar on the right (when present) have an unfortunate tendency to contain offensive language.

For example, watch Superman protect his secret identity with fruit pies!

Be amazed by his clever ruse as he stops a gang of robbers with more fruit pies!

Or as he saves a planet with Twinkies!

Is there nothing he can't do, armed with an unlimited supply of junk food?

Well, it won't be easy to top those plots, but that's why it's a challenge.

Can you write a story where Clark (or one of the other good guys) saves the day with the "unbeatable power" of fat-, sugar-, and chemical-filled snacks?

Based on the news stories lately that have revealed dangerous levels of lead in everything from children's toys to jewelry to lipstick (which they apparently tested aagainst the standard for lead in candy, since there was no standard for lead in lipstick), maybe he could use the junk food to shield himself from Kryptonite?

But I'd actually rather see a story where Lois defended herself against the bad guys by throwing stale Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
