Twinkies

[Stopsignhank]

For some reason the thought of Twinkies popped in my head. I did a Google image search and was amazed at the number of Twinkies they have not. That is when I realized I have not had a Twinkie in probably 25 years.

When was the last time you had a Twinkie?

 

[lxskllr]

40 years? Twinkies are awful.

 

[highland145]

Well, been married 23 years this May. Only dated 5 months before that so 1995?



1995...damn, that looks old.

Ick...maybe 30-35 years ago? Most of the Hostess treats were junk...made of low quality ingredients.

Probably taste the same.

 

[Chaotic42]

Probably 20 years. Never been a fan.

Probably. Don't Twinkies have something like a 50 year shelf life?

they will be the only thing left other than cockroaches when the world collapses. Better learn to love them now.

twinkies are amazing, i bought some a couple weeks ago

the key is to not overthink them, just enjoy them for what they are

Never liked Twinkies, too dry. But I love vanilla Zingers, which are made by Hostess now.

Maybe had some back in grade school. Snack food has deteriorated. These days it's barely food anymore, so many corners/costs cut. I feel sorry for those who try Twinkies on brand power alone.

BTW, Twinkie died a few years ago. Then some company resurrected it.

 

[Stopsignhank]

Surprising that you still see Twinkies are still around. Although there are so many different types now.

My go to type of this snack in the day was frozen ding dongs. Great snack, stupid name.

anyone used to eat these?

Not even close to old. LOL.

I retired from the Navy in 1993.

 

[pcgeek11]

I've never eaten a Twinkie.

 

[highland145]

I've never eaten a Twinkie.

It's got sugar, preservatives and such. You've missed out.

I liked Sno-balls, tried one after the resurrection and the magic just wasn't there.

Zingers are infinitely better

Zingers are infinitely better

Weren't the Peanuts characters used as a promo for them? I recall that as a teen.

yessir

I actually had 6 (two 3 packs) of zingers over this weekend. Incredible with a cup of coffee.
I will also say Hostess Cup Cakes are way better than Twinkies. Twinkies are horrible (though my wife does like them...)

Awesome! Never a twinkie fan but I did like chocodiles.

Sno-balls have coconut on them. Coconut is yucky!

As you can tell I have never had a sno-ball.

They are rather anemic now. They used to be so big and poofy. Now you can see the cake through the marshmallow topping. They look like B cups now rather than the full C cups back in the day.

 

[snoopy7548]

I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been more than ten years.

I used to love the Hostess cupcakes when I was a kid. I would always peel off the icing and eat it first, then eat the cake part.

Zombieland. Hilarious movie.
