[Avodah] Shehcheyanu (Purim torah)

[Zev Sero]

Apropos of our recent discussion of shehecheyanu, last week at the 
grocery store I saw the first homentashen of the season, and wondered 
out loud whether one should say shehecheyanu at the sight.  Of course 
the answer I expected, if any, was that in principle one should, but it 
will be included in the shehecheyanu we'll say on the megillah.  However 
someone standing by came up with a better answer: as the label proudly 
proclaims, the homentashen are yoshon, and therefore not shehecheyanu :-)
