OMG, I Ate A Twinkie Today!

Recently lost a couple extra pounds this past week and I was hungry. Bought a coffee at a QuikStop and was browsing the snack counter when I saw THEM.
Haven't eaten a Twinkie in well over 30 yrs (probably more). Looked at the calorie count which was 260 for the 2 innocent looking cream filled cakes. The chocolate Hostess cupcakes, which also caught my eye, were 320. So, I went with the urge and bought the Twinkies.
Smelled and tasted the same as I remember when I ate them as a child. The cake didn't seem as tender, a little tough actually (maybe it was stale), but the filling gave me the same sugar rush as before. Yum!
A memorable sensory (if not culinary) treat that will have to hold me over for another 30 yrs should I live that long.
LOL!!!

Lol I love Twinkies and the Hostess cupcakes (actually blue bunny's version is better to me) and try to keep them out of the house. I have considered making homemade versions that aren't as bad as the store versions. I haven't had them for years!0

Heres how you can up your twinkie game: put some cream and condensed milk together, whip em up, drown the twinkie in it and then eat it. It tastes EPIC!2

I've never been a big twinkie person. Little debbie's though, especially the zebra cakes, are to die for.3

Try the Hostess cupcake ice cream - that is awesome! The Twinkie and Snoball were pretty blah0 -
The second bite is always the best. All that creamy goodness becomes exposed to the outside world and there is not a god in this dimension who can save it.1

I really hate it when that happens. Those indulgent calories should be totally worth it when it comes to taste but are often a bit of a letdown.1 -
Ha! I could go for a May West right now, for some reason! 0

Maybe this will make you feel better or give some justification lol

Darn! Now I’m craving a Twinkie 😂0

Ewww I never did like Twinkies, but I'm pretty sure I was fueled by little more than Kool-Aid and Little Debbie snacks as a child. So gross to me now!0
