Who invented the Twinkie?

In the 1920s and '30s, Continental Bakeries sold baked snacks under the Hostess brand name. Many of the snacks were seasonal, with fruit filling. Hostess Little Shortbread Fingers were made with strawberries, so for several months of the year the equipment used to make them sat idle because strawberries weren't available.The company vice president, James Dewar, wanted to make a product that could use that equipment and improve efficiency. His idea was a simple sponge cake with a flavored cream filling. On the way to a marketing meeting, he saw a billboard advertising Twinkle-Toe Shoes. And so, the Twinkie was born in 1930

When was the last time you ate a Twinkie?

A year and a half ago.It was October and I was in my senior year of high school. The annual fall festival was approaching and the high school show choir was brainstorming about what to do as a fundraiser.Multiple things were brought up, such as selling food, doing karoake, etc. however, we sold popcorn last year and that was a bust so we didn't want to do any selling.Someone came up with the idea that we could sell Twinkies.The Minion movement was in full swing then. Yellow everywhere. They were on every commercial, every talk show host referenced them to sound hip and cool, kids shouting “BEE DOE” were heard on every street. Moms even used them as memes.The horror. The bright yellow horror.Someone suggested that we sell Twinkies and give the kids icing and other treats and let them decorate them to their heart’s desire. We would also dress up as minions to keep up the theme. It was a brilliant idea. An evilly brilliant idea. You could even say it was despicable.The idea was for it to come out like this:But because kids and nonprofessionals were attempting arts and crafts it looked more or less like this, minus the cake:But fun is fun. Kids loved it, parents loved doing something with their kids, we made a lot of money and everyone had a great time.Later on, there were left over Twinkies. I asked if my boyfriend could have a box and after giving some to my boyfriend, I snagged one from him in typical girlfriend fashion.And that is the story of the last time that I ate a Twinkie.

Is it okay for a cat to eat twinkies?

I was eating a twinkie just now and I get a little of the bread to one of my cats and she gobbled it up, so I gave a little bread to my other cat and he gobbled it up. So I held the twinkie up to both cats and they were both licking the cream and eating the bread. I only gave a little to them because I'm sure since twinkies are not good for humans they can't be good for cats. Has anyone else had their cats go crazy over twinkies and are there any bad side effects? I can't find anything on the internet abou tit.

And I won't gain any weight because Its next to impossible for me to gain weight because of my high metabolism and I'm really active with swim practice . Do you think it was a bad idea though ?

Why would it be bad to eat a Twinkie?

It’s not bad to eat a twinkie, no more so than any other pastry. What is bad is if twinkies make up too large a proportion of your diet.

What would happen to you if you only ate Twinkies?

What would happen to you if you only ate Twinkies?Thanks for asking Krish Patel. There’s a good answer at the link below. In short, it’s a stupid idea.A Physician's Take on the 'Twinkie Diet'Let me add that I have been brutalized by the scale since I was 8 and my life has been defined by what diet I was following since I was 9. Twenty years ago, I started working out with a trainer three times a week. Over the course of the next year I stayed exactly the same dress size (I was wearing the same clothes, for God’s sake), gained 30 lbs and went from short of breath when walking on a flat surface to being able to run up 4 flights of stairs without breaking a sweat. In one year, my body mass index went from 30 to something like 37 or 39. My trainer’s analysis of my body demonstrated that I had lost 50 lbs of fat and gained 80 lbs of muscle. But the doctor I was seeing could only see that I had gained weight and carped on and on about it. She sent me to the local HMR chocolate glop clinic for a 500 calorie a day diet. At that point, I had been mostly on restricted calories for 40 years. My body is just DAMN GOOD at holding onto calories. I lost a little fat, and some muscle, since I was not eating enough protein to repair myself when working out. The weight all came right back as fat.Also, consider that the entire US Olympic weightlifting team is morbidly obese if the only factors you are only considering are their height and weight.

Will twinkies become a rare collectible?

I think Tallahassee from Zombieland answered this question quite nicely. "Believe it or not, Twinkies have an expiration date. Some day very soon, Life's little Twinkie gauge is gonna go... empty. " Just as any other pastry has an expiration date. In fifty years, the Twinkies won't even be worth eating. They could be moldy, stale, and all sorts of other unpleasantness. I say, just eat them now. Food is meant to be ENJOYED, right?

Maybe you should check into Hostess/Twinkie merchandise instead? Since Hostess is going out of business, there won't be any more collectable merchandise produced.That makes them rare and POSSIBLY valuable. That means demand will go up for them, as well. I'm not saying you're going to become a millionaire on Twinkie merchandise, but if you're looking to profit from the brand, that's the place to start. Google Hostess merchandise and see what comes up.

You may or may not make money from that. It actually depends on willing buyers and IF Hostess does go out of business. They may pull through. I just wouldn't put faith in the idea that you'll be financially set because of a pastry. My advice: Eat your Twinkie, and find a better way to make money.

Hope this helps!

If you know that a Twinkie will destroy cells and an apple will feed/nurture cells inside the human body, how can you honestly say “all food is healthy”?

Sure, I could argue that “all food is healthy,” but I would have to add one critical qualifier: IN MODERATION.Otherwise, the blanket statement about food is just as nonsensical as saying “All food is poison.” That’s also true…if you add the qualifier “if you eat too much.”By “in moderation,” I don’t just mean “less than you’d like to eat” or “half an average American-sized serving,” I mean “an amount small enough to minimize any health risks that the food is known to increase.”For many foods, there have been conclusive scientific studies that show that a certain level of intake over time will increase the risk of certain diseases. Red meat and colon cancer, for example; saturated fats and heart disease; sugar and diabetes.No, a Twinkie does not cause random cytolysis or apoptosis. Saying it “kills cells” is melodramatic ignorance. And yes, it does “feed your cells.” It’s just a lot of sugar and other simple carbohydrates (easy cell food), hydrogenated fat (broken down to become high-density cell food with added cardiovascular risk), and little to zero micro-nutrients (not a big deal unless you have a deficiency).The problem with a Twinkie is that all it does is fuel your cells, too well, which increases risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes… IF the ingredients of Twinkies (sugar, for example) are not eaten in moderation.Here’s the catch: one Twinkie contains almost the full daily allowance of sugar for an adult, as recommended by the WHO… just to give an idea of what “moderation” may look like as far as sugar is concerned.
