    I don't suppose there's any point to my asking what Twinkies are? For some reason people seem unable to actually answer questions like this in straightforward fashion, without some kind of smartarse response that seems to suggest that one is culturally ignorant for posing the question.

    I know, I know, "Google is your friend", blah blah blah... silly I know, but I just live in hope of getting a simple polite informative response from an actual human being.

    Twinkies are what is keeping Adele from being the size of Taylor Swift (ducks...runs)

    The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off

    Can I politely request you consider not posting every thought that comes through your head? Yes, this is indeed a "Google is your friend" moment.

    I thought Twinkies were universal. They didn't have them in Oz when you were growing up? Ah well, you know how silly Americans are. Twinkies are what our culture is all about. I understand your frustration though. I learnt years ago not to ask straight forward questions on internet fora because you'll get 20 smartass replies before some gives you a straight answer. By the time you get the answer it will have fallen through the cracks and you probably gave up anyway. My generation grew up on all those Hostess products (Hostess is/was the brand that produced Twinkies, and other assorted, pre-packaged, processed crap), that's why we have a diabetes problem in this country.

    By the way, Adele is not fat. Just because she's not a stick figure doesn't mean she's "fat." But this is the culture we live in now, and this is the pressure that people in entertainment (especially women) have to deal with.

    One day, a few years after the zombie apocalypse, everyone will know what a Twinkie is.

    Speaking of Twinkies...

    I microwaved an unopened pack of Twinkies at a friends party many years ago out of boredom with the intention of explosion. Yes I was high. I set the time for 20 mins. to make sure and walked away. Went back to everyone in the living room and grabbed a cold brew and a few minutes later there was a loud POP. The thing blew the hell up and there were Twinkie innards all over the walls on microwave. Lots of laughter ensued, but the best part was that the Twinkie guy on the package with the hat and lasso had melted onto the side wall.

    Ahhh memories...

    You might want to check out this thread we had (from a few years ago) on Twinkies and other pastry treats that are horrible for you:

    But I don't think I actually described a Twinkie. It's a little rectangular sponge cake that's hollowed out in the middle and it's filled with some kind of whipped cream or icing. I haven't had one in decades.

    Also, never abbreviate Twinkie into twink. In the US, that's a whole 'nother thing.

    I'd eat a bag of pork crackings before I'd eat Twinkies or Oreos.

    I’d say that Carly Rae Jepsen is more Twinkie-esque, frankly.

    Actually beef fat. At least it used to be. Probably vegetable shortening nowadays (that’s what’s in Oreos).
