I saw a display rack full of Twinkies in Walmart last month, which surprised me enough to buy a package.

Unfortunately, my childhood memories of Twinkies are better than the 2014 version.

I guess some memories don't need to be updated and are best left alone.

Same goes for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They don't taste nearly as good now as they did thirty years ago.

Real twinkles back in the day had cane sugar. Newer version of twinkles (and most of the junk food we remember well) have been using high fructose corn syrup for decades now. There is a huge difference in flavor. The HFC almost seems to suppress flavor.
