Twinkies- let's see. think of a yellow cake, very sweet, wrapped around a sugar filled, banana flavored cream filling. Calorie count: unknown, counters will not go tht high.
Estimated shelf life 10,000 years. The company that made them went bankrupt last year, the reciepe ha been purchased by a company in Mexico who promises to have them back on Americn shelves in 6 months.

Shows how many Twinkie Bars I eat... I didn't even know they went bankrupt. That company has probably cost the taxpayers a fortune for people's medical expenses... Serves them right they went out of business...
