If you visit the Hostess website, you’ll see a countdown for the return of Twinkies, slated for July 15. Here’s some food for thought:
The first Twinkies were made with banana cream but later replaced with vanilla cream. After a 2005 tie-in with the movie “King Kong,” the flavor was brought back in 2007. |
Make your own Twinkies with this Cream Canoe Pan. |
Twinkies aren’t the only Hostess treats making a comeback–so are CupCakes and Donettes. |
Twinkies have many imitators, including Golden Creme Cakes, Dreamies and Bingles. |
Summers in Wisconsin means city/county/state fairs and of course, deep-fried Twinkies. |
In the movie “UHF,” Weird “Al” Yankovic’s character eats a Twinkie stuffed with a hot dog. |
Pancheros salutes Bob, whose claim-to-fame is mixing ingredients for a uniform taste in each bite, by holding a contest in which diners take the unique utensil out of the kitchen and into the wild. Participants are encouraged to get imaginative and take Bob to places it otherwise would never see, like the beach or an iconic landmark.
