Twinkies were invented in my hometown!
They have a Hostess plant near here. I loved them when I was a child, but they must have changed the recipe. They taste different now.
There will still be the off brand imitators on the shelves, but it still wont be the same.
I have honestly never eaten a Twinkie in my life. When I tell people this, they always seem shocked. Isn't it just spongecake with whip cream or something? I've never understood why they're so popular.
You're not missing much, Doll. No worries.
I agree, they were better tasting years ago. The sponge cake tasted more like pound cake back then.
If you are craving a Twinkie or Ho Ho, don't despair. There is a bid for that portion of their business in bankruptcy court. Hostess has already sold their Wonder Bread, Beefstake Rye, etc. bread business.
Twinkies will rise again!
Oooh I must say I had to look twice at the heading of this thread.... I admit, I am also a twinkie virgin because we don't have them here.
At one time they made a chocolate Twinkies. They were good also.
