Magic Fills the Air Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 What exactly are Twinkies? I hear them mentioned in US shows and films all the time. A simualr situation can be found in the UK. Branston Pickle, which has been around forever, was recently sold to a Japanese company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to hear the CEO of the company to actually say the product correctly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll send some in my next care package to you, then. Personally, I've always been more of a Ding Dong fan than Twinkies. Twinkies always had this foul chemical taste to me. There is also this nasty American County Fair tradition of deep-frying the Twinkie. You know, to really give your heart a jolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuk! ^I see someone's beat me to it! I bet the Scots nicked the idea from us Americans. For years at American Fairs, they have been deep-frying Twinkies, Mars-Bars, donuts, hotdogs, ice cream...any food you can imagine is deep fried on a stick. I bet they'd even deep-fry your car if you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebk Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I bet the Scots nicked the idea from us Americans.

I bet they'd even deep-fry your car if you wanted. I believe it was last year, the Big Deal at the fairs was deep fried butter. Yes, really. My favorite Twinkie memorie was back when my brother was in the Peace Corp in Kenya. A friend of his sent a care package with a lot of homemade treats, and a couple of store bought favorites he couldn't get there. Unfortunately, she sent it surface mail instead of air mail, so it took 9 months to get there. Everything was stale and moldy...except the Twinkies. Beause they are made of ingredients not found in nature. They will be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
