Prince Elite Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Very good, now... what's a twinkie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorAllosaurus Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Very good, now... what's a twinkie? It's a golden sponge cake with some kind of cream filling. I'm going to make myself a twinkie weiner sandwich as soon as they come back, been so long since I had the disgustingly delicious treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidi Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Good, now we can continue to indulge on processed cake as we continually get fatter. I've never actually had a Twinkie in my life, which one my consider blasphemy considering I live in a country very close to America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Twinkies are relatively over-blown for what they truly are. They don't even taste all that great. Other Hostess snacks are pretty decent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fana McCloud Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Twinkies are relatively over-blown for what they truly are. They don't even taste all that great. Speak for yourself man - for me they're just sweet enough to be heavenly but not so heavy that they demolish my stomach in too high a quantity like certain candies or chocolate do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I've only ever had two in my entire life. It was like little cake angels of yumminess casting wonderful spells in my mouth. Wish we had them over here at a reasonable, not £5 per box due to shipping cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, I do think that the last Twinkie I had potentially sat on the shelf for far too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Orange Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Honestly. Twinkies aren't my favorite snack. I admit they are good but Ho-Ho's man. You don't even WANT to challenge their taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarFoxfan-FUR_ever Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Because it is relevant to the topic. A series of commercials all featuring this punch-line was probably the main reason Twinkie's are so well remembered. I can't argue with the results, these commercials are great.

DZComposer Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Twinkies will never be the same to me. Ever since the debacle they've been a symbol of union busting.I'm not trying to get political, but some facts are in order: For those that don't know, Hostess was purchased by a PE firm in a leveraged buyout. The PE firm then moved the loans they took out to buy Hostess onto the company's books. With the sudden debt load, the company began to crumble and repeatedly asked the workers to take cuts, which they did, until the company pretty much demanded they give up their bargaining rights. The union refused and the plant shut. Of course the PE guys didn't care. They got rich off of the deal and got to unload the debt, and collect what was left over after the bankruptcy sales.The investors kept their money and the workers got the shaft.Now a new PE firm owns the brand and has stated that they will NOT hire union workers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snys93 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Very good, now... what's a twinkie? A pound cake blessed by the gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox-Shot Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Well apparently Southern Iowa doesn't care, for the most part Hostess wasn't even dominant here in the first place, we have Little Debbie instead, which I definitely don't mind. This also means we've had their knockoff of Twinkies to keep us going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
