SuddenFoodCravingFromChildhoodFilter: MUST HAS "Aunt Fanny's Pecan Twirls". Apparently they come out of Georgia, and this is what they look like. No longer find in DFW area, rioting to ensue. Money is no object, this is life or death! Please help...

Whoa, I ate way too many of those as a kid. I imagine they won't have exactly the right dosage of preservatives to be a perfect match, but NetGrocer sells Tastykake Pecan Swirls online.

Is there a reason you can't order them at the link you posted?

They have them at just about every grocery store in this area (northeast), so maybe a stupid question, but have you checked regular old large grocery stores? They're usually with the ho-hos and things like that.

Response by poster: Okay, all local grocery stores dried up on these, inexplicably. Link given was for a grocery store delivery service 1,000 miles away (they drive your groceries to you, not ship--and even though I was willing to um, eat a shipping charge if they would have, I needed theses babies NOW!--you know how the combination of "must has" + "isn't this the 21st century, where's my flying car/Aunt Fannies Pecan Twirls?!!" Saturday morning arrogance goes!). ;)

So, turns out Mrs. Moth casually grabs some for me (as I writhe on floor in withdrawal) during a Wal-Mart run. Apparently Wal-Mart has food, who knew?! Perhaps I should get out more.

Maybe not.

That is all. Carry on, Interwebz--and know that until those 3D printers come waaaaay down in price, you still can't do everything... And, yes, it IS 2am my time--Nom, nom, nom, nom...
