I hearing them on tv, and people keep mentioning them here, But what is a twinkie people! Enlighten me!!

It's a mass marketed cake product. Small spongey cakes with cream filling.

don't forget there 20 year shelf life though [img]tongue.gif[/img] actually there shelf life is over a year so a common joke is they have a half life :D

Okay... I think we have them in England... But we call them 'small spongey cakes with cream filling'... IIRC... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

ROTFL! Long name ;) *giggle*

Well, normally, In a shop we'd just point and grunt.. Or say one of the following:
<font color="red">That..
That please...
Cake...
Me want cake...
Me want cake please...
I'll have that small spongey cake with a cream filling...
</font>

Watch it cutie, I may dub thee 'Binky-Twinkie' if you keep making me laugh like that! :D [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

Binky-Twinkie? Oh dear... I think i'll just sit in the corner and think of a thread topic which dosent rhyme with me... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
[b]Squids are inky,
which makes me thinky,
about a twinkie,
that rhymes with me.[b]

Nope, nothing comes to mind...

B, thank you SO much for giving the English the reps of neanderthals [img]tongue.gif[/img]

That golden sponge cake makes a great dessert. They have three puncture hole's in it's flat part where special ingredients are placed. (Very sofisticated machinery I might add [img]smile.gif[/img] )
They must be eaten in 3 bites and to your best ability, equal amounts of twinkized cream in each one.
Remember- 2 Twinkees in a plastic wrapper can be worth 100 times it's original price if you break it out at just the right moment ;) --

That has to be the kindest description of a Twinkie I have ever read in my life!

"Binky-Twinkie" ROFL! I'll have to promise Binky in blood to never use it LOL it is just too tempting after reading this (hilarious) thread!

Well Ok, If thats generous, what is the REAL description of a twinkie?

Oh man, I hate twinkies.

MMM Twinky *Drools*. J/king they are pretty good though when they are old. :D
I think its because all the preservatives evaporate out of them. :D

Oh that was an accurate description! I said it was "kind" LOL!

Here is a pic straight from Stan & Denise's White Trash Parties of their cousin Drew and his friend Cindy showing theirs off...(I do not know these people and found the site doing a search for Twinkie at ditto.com LOL...This pic just happens to show both sides...you can see the one one the left's bottom, where the filling was put into it. Apparently a 20 year shelf life for these things is an understatement...I'd bet that they could survive a nuclear blast...kinda like the "peeps" of everyday junk food.
