I saw this in the grocery store last month. I thought I posted it here then but maybe not.

Diabetes-inducing product mashups are so 2016 :D

Besides, Twinkies ice cream won't hold up very well in a post-apocalyptic world.

doesn't look like it's in a freezer but it's got ice cream written on it?

Yeah. What's the point of Twinkies if they're not eternal? The ice cream is not worthy of the Twinkies name.

I think diabetics could save some cash long term if they bought the pants with the zip-off legs.

I tried the Twinkie ice cream the other day:

1. It sounded amazing.
2. It just tasted like really sugary vanilla ice cream. Like cheap store-brand French vanilla ice cream.
3. The Twinkie bits were tiny (smaller than marbles). Because it was ice cream, they were frozen (hard). They didn't really taste like a Twinkie, either.

Error 404 Twinkie experience not found.

They actually come in bars, which look a lot better: (although I'm not a fan of Snowballs myself)

Probably doesn't have enough milk fat to qualify as ice cream.

I have a friend who runs a vegan take-out shop, she had to change all of the product names because her food doesn't qualify as "cheese" or "ice cream" per the strong dairy lobby. Non-dairy ice creams are classified as "frozen treats" & garbage like that. Gimme a break :rolleyes:

How is that different than stopping Hershey's attempt at lowering cocoa content for their product to still qualify as chocolate. I think it is a good thing food makers doesn't get to sub out milk fat with something like vegetable oil and still call it ice cream.

That's just a stupid product. Ice cream is one thing that doesn't need innovation. Innovating on perfection only makes things worse.

I detest companies that grow stagnate in their business and have to rob other businesses by taking their ideas and making a lame form of it.

For instance, Burger King shouldn't be allowed to sell non-burger main items. Pizza Hut should be prevented from selling chicken wings. Screw you, Hostess, for trying to overcome your failure at cake treats by stealing the business of ice cream makers.

What an indefensible idea.
Then we'd just have "Food King" and "Food Hut", etc.

At any rate, Hostess isn't actually making this ice cream, it's being made by Nestle Dreyer's Ice Cream. Feel better?

I don't disagree with you when it comes to mass chains trying to differentiate in markets they don't belong in.

However, I am going to state that chicken wings grilled and baked still have potential to be legit wings. A good 450+ degree pizza oven can be an awesome thing. My favorite local wings are actually baked twice in a pizza oven by a local pizzeria that buys their wings frozen. Whoever the supplier is provides them with extremely meaty wings and because they run through the conveyor belt oven twice, not only are they cooked perfectly, but they come out crispy and would rival just about any fried wing I've had. (mainly because it's such a small place that they run the food straight from the oven to the table and they don't get soggy or cold)

I don't know of a chain that grills wings. I just mention that because I stopped frying them at home and only grill them now for around 20 minutes. They are pretty awesome and have a nice smoky flavor that way...they turn out crispy and are like 35 calories each.
