    Being Canadian, never had one. Heard enough about them though.
    Got fat without their help!

    When downtown in Las Vegas I saw the best sign hanging in front of a hotel
    casino ever.... it read... "DEEP FRIED TWINKIES". You wouldn't think that
    anyone could take the most gory, unredeemable food item in history, and
    actually make it worse.... or better that is...

  4. You really should try one, before they become collectors' items.
    There's ONE left in the vending machine here at work and I was sorely
    tempted...you know, I could have it varnished and mounted on the wall
    or something. K.

  5. You dont need to varnish a twinkie... the expiration date is expressed in
    its "half life"... so it'll be around a lot longer than you and I !!

  6. A piece of sugar and bread is not going to help anyone with health or weight
    concerns, no matter what diet they might be on.

    Oh. My. Lord. I hate to admit I started salivating here.

    My wife is from Georgia and has been known to deep-fry daylilies. Even
    she has never encompassed the possibility of deep-frying a Twinkie.

    Batter dip, fry. The oogy white stuff in the middle melts and soaks
    into the eternal cake. I took a bite because, well I needed to. I
    liked it in a teeth-hurting sweet overwhelming way. Now I can say I
    tried it once. I can promise it won't happen again. Not as good as the
    deep-fried Mars bar I had in Glasgow. Another one-off, one-bite
    experience.

    The only other observation I'll make about Twinkies is that a neighbor
    taught their little boykids the, um, personal parts by using cutesy
    names. Guess what *their* Twinkies were?

    I heard of a kid that felt that if his pee came out of his peenis, then his
    [censored] must come out of his poopnis.

    You can get them at the State Fair here in TX. I have to say, I can't stand
    Twinkies. But deep fried? They become a food of the gods! No joke.

    This from a guy who freely admits he's incapable of reading scientific
    papers.

    Go back with the rest of the bozos who think they get information from
    faith.

    Fool.
