But were they the little chocolate donuts, the powdered-sugar kind, or jelly?

Well, I don't know, but someone told me something scary the other day.

She said: Twinkies are never actually baked. They dry or set-up in some
kind of scary chemical reaction, then are air-brushed a golden brown.

Hope she didn't make that up. Now I'll probably get sued. Did anyone
else read about those grad students (maybe MIT?? not sure where) who had a
web page up documenting their experiments on Twinkies (tm)? What happens
when you microwave a twinkie, what happens when you drop one off a
building, burn it, freeze it, dip it in Hydrochloric acid, okay I'm only
guessing, but stuff like that. Hostess found out about it and they were
forced to pull the page.

ODC: We can share the Twinkies, we can share da kine.
We can eat the cream out of yours 'cause we done ate all of mine.

Now I stole a Ho Ho from a girl of just 14
And got a damned good case of the Hostess Twinkies blues, yeah.

He took my Hostess Twinkie and he vanished in thin air.

The package was dusty but the Twinkie was clean.


Hmmmm...Twinkies.

Hmmmm...Twinkies.

And let's not forget:

To the tune of "Little Sadie":

Went out last night
To take a look around
Got a box of Little Debbies
And I scarfed 'em down.

And FOTD: Set out munchin'
Like I got no time
Friend of the Devil Dog
is a friend of mine.

Althea: I told Althea I was feeling munched
And was headed in a 7-11 direction
Althea told me upon scrutiny
The junk food there might need protection.

China Doll: I would not condemn you
Nor yet would I deny
I am really in the mood for
RC Cola and sweet potato pie.

Franklin's Tower:
In another time's forgotten space
Coffee Cake Jr.'s disappeared into my face.

It Must Have Been the Roses:

I don't know
it must have been the Twinkies
The Twinkies, or the Ring-Dings
in my beard's white hair
I don't know
maybe it was the Ho Hos
All I know is
If I'm hungry later, them crumbs will still be there.

I think this one takes the cake (groan).

My housemate calls those little, tiny, under the lip pieces of beard (a
la grunge musicians) a "flavor saver"

Believe it or don't:
Although Twinkies have more chemicals in them than all the Dow, 3M, and
DuPont plants combined, they don't have the shelf life of gravel...their
shelf life is...

4 DAYS!!!!

That's right...if they're not sold w/in 4 days of hitting the
shelves...they're thrown away.

Just my 0.02

You forgot every Twinkie is aged in its package for 12 years before it hits
the shelf of your local 7-11.

Seriously, yesterday I got a jar of tartar sauce which read
"Use By Nov 1896."

My tour diary had a twinkie smashed into it 11 years ago. It is still
there. It still looks
like a twinkie. It didn't mold(even in the back of a van in the summer).
It is still yellow and white but it has lost softness. Yechhh! I keep it
as a reminder of why I now don' eat such things.

Why not? For in the Twinkie lies the secret of eternal life.

Or at least think of all the money you can save on embalming.

Jerry's philosophy on food: why eat it if there's no creamy icing in
the middle?

I would guess Hostess since we don't have Drakes in the Bay Area.
