Twinkies are Ok.
Zingers are way better.
Hostess cupcakes (with coffee) steal the show.

Somebody is going to be grossly disappointed with how they spent 50 bucks.

Exactly. I ran that through the currency converter and it's about the same as US dollars. $50 for Twinkies?? You are going to be sorely disappointed.

If you get the ones I stuffed myself, you will be truly awesome as my DNA replicates.

I haven't eaten one in about 20 years, and even though I remember them being tasty I can tell you it is barely worth the $2.50 in the grocery stores here.

yeah, youre gonna be dissapointed. but maybe since everyone believes that, youre expectations might become low enough for you to enjoy them. but maybe this very post is clueing you in to that possibility, making it unlikely. *headsplode*

i know its a lot, but how often does the aussie dollar rival the us dollar??
Next time i try to order, it would be more like 80

And i am not going to do this again.

You are going to be disappionted that you just ate the whole box and now you need to get more immediately. They are as addictive as tobacco. :)

I fear you will be let down. They tasted much better about 20 years ago. I tried one recently after not having one in years and was like WTF is this...

Too bad you couldn't have tried the banana cream twinkies, they are better than the vanilla cream ones.

That's probably because you were a kid 20 years ago and would eat anything with tons of sugar in it.

it's probably been 10 years since i've had a twinkie.

i need to hit up the state fair for a deep fried one. they dip them in funnel cake batter and cover them in powdered sugar, iirc.

I think you will be disappoint, son. They aren't terrible but they really aren't very tasty either.
