One of America's best known and most loved snack cakes, Twinkies have been tantalizing taste buds and filling lunch boxes since 1930. Twinkies are the stuff of legends - President Clinton put one in a time capsule - and have achieved the status of cultural icon, with the American Society of Media Photographers recently mounting a photo exhibition featuring Twinkies. But to most people, they're just fun to eat.
Whether we're carrying a supply in the glove compartment for a quick on-the-road snack, freezing them, deep frying them, or eating them right out of the package, millions of Twinkie lovers would agree with creator Jimmy Dewar's statement that "Twinkies was the best darn-tootin' idea I ever had."
Many of the 500 million Twinkies sold every year spark wonderful creative impulses, as moms, dads, school teachers and kids take to their kitchens to invent gourmet recipes, including Twinkie Shortcake, Twinkie Misu and Twinkie Sushi. And let's not forget those amazing Twinkie Wedding Cakes.
A Twinkie is a "Golden Sponge Cake with Creamy Filling" created by Hostess, and baked by Continental Baking Co., (My dad used to be in the business and he took us to see Twinkies being made). Twinkies measure 4" x 1.5" (10 cm x 3.75 cm) and are usually sold in packages of two, though they can be sold in packages of three.
In the United States, the Twinkie is commonly regarded as the quintessential junk food. Each Twinkie contains about 145 Calories . Five hundred million are produced each year.
Personally, I don't like them.

They're so good! It's a vanilla sponge cake filled with a white cream filling, made by Hostess, I believe. You can find them at Wal-Mart, and just about any convenience store.
I don't think there's any real food in them, so why not fry them and make them even worse for you?!!!

It's vanilla sponge cake with cream on the inside. They are pure sugar and fat and preservatives (they never decompose) but yep, they are yum.
