With 37 ingredients it might be easier to list what isn't in a Twinkie.

"I don't know why so many people like them. They taste disgusting."
Bless you! I have never liked Twinkies. I will never understand how they manage to stay in business. But if you guys like them that's kool. Least now I don't feel like some kind of space alien.
Down here (TN) they have something called a Moon Pie. Has got to be the second most gawd awful thing made to be eaten. They even have three flavors I think. Talk about junk food! To make matters worse the best treat in the world here is a Moon Pie and RC Cola. The worst snack with the worst drink ever! Don't tell anyone I said that, am liable to get thumped bad.
