Couldn't all of this be going here?

Forum police - cue the sirens!! This isn't specifically about hostess going out of business - this is about *eatin' twinkies*!

That said ... I was never that much of a fan. Now raspberry zingers and snowballs ...



They're essentially the same thing as twinkies, now that I think about it

Who has absolutely no idea what neither Twinkie or Hostess are?

The only reason I have heard of twinkies is Zombieland.

It's an American thing probably best you don't know what a Twinkie is..

Merged in the 'My First Twinkie' thread.

You aren't missing much.

I was looking for something else, but I stumbled across this book about processed foods. I may have to read it...as apparently some ingredients are, well, mined.

Golden Sponge Cake with Creamy Filling =/= Coconut Marshmallow Covered Chocolate Cake with Creamy Filling

Unless Creamy Filling is all it takes for something to basically be a Twinkie, in which case I suppose something like a chicken pot pie is basically the same.

I kid, but really Sno Balls are not like Twinkies.

Ah, but that's assuming that we can trust appearances For some fun ideas down that path the link Avron posted has some interesting claims/information:

Beginning at the source (hint: they’re often more closely linked to rocks and petroleum than any of the four food groups), Ettlinger reveals how each Twinkie ingredient goes through the process of being crushed, baked, fermented, refined, and/or reacted into a totally unrecognizable goo or powder with a strange name

But do I detect a snowball fan?? :highfive:

Sno Balls are essentially Chocolate Cupcakes who are wearing a fur coat. Throw them under the 'Specialty Cupcake' listing in the poll, if you wish.
