Just to show that we here in Maine have other interests beside Lobster, Mudding and drinking Beer...

We have a 40 year old Hostess Twinkie..

I remember when they first did this, I feel old....

Probably just as nutritious as it was 40 years ago. Maybe more so. And tastes just as good.

I ate many of those and the super delicious Hostess fruit pies as a 1970's kid. I am not surprised it has lasted so long. Those days were really the heyday of artificial ingredients. If only all those chemicals made us last forever! :-laf

I never really liked the Twinkies that much, my favorite was the Hostess Snow Ball. I could eat them all day long.

Me either. I was a hostess chocolate cupcake man. I also really liked another hostess product I think I remember being some kind of banana cream sandwich pastry.

You are thinking of Banana Flips. But forget about the Flips, Twinkies, HoHos, DingDongs and Snowballs...
Nothing topped the Hamwinkie!

Yeh, thats it. The banana flip. That was more like 50 years ago I was eating that kind of junk. Wonder if one would be as good as the 40 year old twinkie might be now ?:-laf
