...and since they have a 75 year shelf-life, Hostess is due to make a new batch soon.

Diabetics should avoid Twinkies.
Best way to do that is to get together with 15 or 20 of your best friends (also diabetics) and slice it into sufficient pieces so that you all get one small piece.
Do this no more than once a year.

Legitimate science? or Twinkie torture!!! You be the judge, see the Twinkies Project.

Every six seconds, someone in the United States eats a Twinkie...Hostess factories pump out...yellow cakes at speeds of up to 1,000 Twinkies a minute." Hmm...that means Twinkies are eaten at a rate of 10/minute, but produced at up to 1000/minute.
Where do the other 990 Twinkies a minute go?
To: kingattax
HA! On the Food Channel, they had FRIED TWINKIES :D..really digustinhg looking.

There is something "different" about today's Twinkies.
Back in the early 1970s, I used to eat Twinkies and they just tasted so much better than they do today. They seemed much fresher, tastier and spongier. Twinkies of today leave a nasty aftertaste and they aren't as soft. Evidently, some chemical tampering has been done to the Twinkies.
