    I read in our big Mexico City newspaper the " Reforma " this morning that Twinkies in the US are back on the shelf since July 1st and now have a minimum shelf life of 45 days.
    Hard to imagine.....:o).

    This is false, Bimbo, which owns Sara Lee makes knock offs, but hostess never sold their recipes. Hostess did sell off some assets, but never their recipes.

    When it comes down to it, I'm sure there's not much of a difference in taste, it seems like a simple recipe, but I just want the name brand for the novelty haha

    oh dear baby jesus no. LOL. i'm an army wife and there is a huge stigma that all we ever do is sit around and eat those things. nope, twinkies is not how i got fat in the first place. but they are supposed to be back on shelves 15 july. which ironically is the first day of the miliary grocery store furlough closings.

    Always knew it's a big deal in the US, but never tried it. Is it like chocolate sponge cake?

    It's like... sawdust sponge cake or something..



    I have my terrible food vices, but I just don't understand the love for snack cakes. Ew. When I'm going to eat that kind of empty calories, it better be DAMN good.

    Alas, I haven't seen anything made by hostess in 3 years - no twinkies, no cup cakes, no zebra cakes, no oatmeal cookies, etc etc etc.

    Damn you Korea and your love of peanutbutter flavored dried squid snacks!

    Barf.

    I was happy when I heard they were going away forever. Damn loudmouthed Americans, made so much stink over a greasy j*zz-filled sponge pastry that they actually brought it BACK? Oh, Gawd.

    My husband wouldn't even touch the Sara Lee version after the first one. They are not the same! Personally, I didn't think Sara Lee was BAD, just not the original Twinkie. I'm going to buy one box so that I can have one. Everyone else will eat them up so fast that I won't have to worry about the temptation of a second one. LOL

    I used to love the Cupcakes but not in several years, thank God!

    Honestly, I don't really like them to the point I want them often (maybe once or twice a year or two) but I'm very happy they are back.

    Don't forget some people like to fry them.

    Oddly enough, the thought of deep frying them intrigues me, as it's the cheap, oily fakey-sponge texture that's 80% of my beef with Twinkies. I'd try a bite. A. Single. Bite.

    I actually don't like Twinkies but that small chocolate cupcake (idk what its called) reminds me back when I was 5 and I used to pretend that they were mini birthday cakes and my mom would give me a candle so I can reenact the whole thing (literally..I would sing happy bday to myself) haha! :)

    I've never been interested in Twinkies, may be I'm just weird :)

    I typically don't care for fried foods except chicken strips and an occasional french fry craving, but fried twinkies weren't too bad. Fried oreos were better. LOL My hubby went through a fry-everything kick and did both of those along with candy bars. I'm glad I tried them but they're definitely not something I plan to ever have again.

    :laugh:

    I won't try them, but mostly because:

    1) Not that into fried foods (even prefer baked fries to fried ones)
    2) I tend to get sick to my stomach after eating fried foods

    They never stopped selling them in Canada. I'm not actually fond of them. Sometimes I think I want one, but then they don't taste good.

    Fried foods make me queasy sometimes, as well. I think part of it was a horrific bout with gallstones a lot of years ago. I couldn't eat anything greasy for months without risking the worst pain I've ever felt and terrible nausea. Fries at home are baked, but I have to admit to an occasional extreme craving for McDonald's fries. LOL And my Mother-in-Law's fried chicken which she refuses to cook anymore.

    Something happened to the cupcakes. They're too moist and dense now. When I was little, I would peel the icing layer off, then eat the cake around the filling, then smoosh the filling back onto the icing layer. and eat until the little white curly q's were the last bites. I eat all of the cake off the filling in Twinkies, too. I'm so weird. LOL
