While reading Barry C. Lynn’s The Case for Breaking Up Wal-Mart about the monopsonistic practices of the mega-giant I came across this great line:

“Let them eat Tastykake.”

I assumed this was the author’s witty use of Newspeak and googled to see if there was any prior Orwellian usage. Imagine my surprise: Tastykake.

In hindsight what surprised me most though, was that I was surprised at all.
