Kid_Icarus 0 #1 April 5, 2004 I heard, and in am in the process of looking, that twinkies ARE NOT cooked. I don't know the laws of physics on that one or how they can cram so much golden goodness into a 4 inch sponge cake, but i will find out! Any help is appreciated. More soon... ________________________________________ "What What..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy 0 #3 April 5, 2004 I think the evilness of twinkies is the result of a pact with the devil, whereby things are merely formed, rather than requiring baking and/or cooking.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kid_Icarus 0 #5 April 5, 2004 From hostesses web site: Are Twinkies baked? Yes, Twinkies are baked. Hostess has several bakeries across the country, which together bake 500 million Twinkies each year. In order to do that, Hostess needs 8 million pounds of sugar, 7 million pounds of flour and 1 million eggs. I don't buy it. Doesn't look or feel baked.... ________________________________________ "What What..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dove 0 #6 April 5, 2004 If you really want a cooked twinkie, just visit a state fair where you can get a deep fried twinkie (or oreo cookie or any number of other nauseating "treats") Fall in dove. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craichead 0 #7 April 5, 2004 There is a series of books called "Big Secrets" (Book 2 = Bigger Secrets, Book 3 = Biggest Secrets?) or something similar that has an entry describing the process of making Twinkies. I think it's written up in Book 2 of the series. There is supposed to be little difference in the ingredients of a Twinkie and a roll of film...

wmw999 2,122 #8 April 5, 2004 Everything you ever wanted to know about the properties of Twinkies The Twinkies Project enjoy Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antithesis 0 #9 April 5, 2004 ohh, those are surprisingly good though... I must add in a southern sort of way. I liked the oreos best I travel the land, Work in the ocean, Play in the sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 0 #10 April 5, 2004 I think the most disgusting are the deep fried mars bars. I watched two travel buddies eat them in Edinburgh, and I swear you could see the lump in their stomach when we got back. There's nothing quite like feeling your arteries harden, I'd wager. I've never heard of the deep fried oreos, but as far as I'm concerned, putting oreos with anything other than milk is one step shy of blasphemy. I'll stick to standard snickers bars or oreos with a tall glass of milk, thank you very much.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #18 April 5, 2004 I like this quote from that summary: QuoteAccording to Hostess, it takes forty-five seconds to explode a Twinkie in a microwave. This is important information!! I can't remember when I last had a twinkie. I do recall when the "Spam Cam" ran an experiment of watching Spam decompose alongside a Twinkie and a tomato. However, the tomato collapsed, and the juices got absorbed into the twinkie, which the lab notes stated: "We can only assume that the twinkie's defenses have been compromised." Anyone remember the Spam Cam? So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
