6. Zombieland - Twinkies
Zombieland is a flick that boasts the greatest cameo in the history of cinema (Bill Murray, who else?), a great cast of characters, one of the best openings to a film and one of the worst TV spin offs ever conceived. I mean, whose idea was it to have the same characters recast with nobody actors? Madness. The film itself also boasts a huge advertisement for the Twinkie. Tallahassee is a mad survivor in the midst of a zombie apocalypse with one drive; finding the remaining Twinkie before it goes out of date, A concept that is slightly wasted on most audiences outside of America. After many false starts he finally finds his holy grail towards the end of the film when discovers the last box which he accidentally shoots. Unfortunately, it only contains mushed up Twinkies. His unlikely partner states that 'words cannot express...' before Talhassee cuts in to tell him 'it's too soon.' By the end of the film though, Tallahassee has his Twinkie via another part of his crew who throws it to him right before they ride off into the night. The Twinkie is a great red herring for the film and an incredible example of product placement actually working. Except it didn't work at all. The ridiculous part of this story is the fact that, in real life, Twinkies' parent company 'Hostess' filed for banktruptcy which resulted in the production of Twinkies being suspended for the foreseeable future. The word 'Suspended' provides some hope to the Twinkieless world we live in, but somewhere in Zombieland, Tallahassee has a gun in pointed to his head in complete purgatory.
