The Vintage Twinkie

[MrBern]

Hostess and Drake's Cakes will never be the same as long as they keep using corn syrup. They should have an 'originals' line made with the original recipes. You know how good Yodels and Yankee Doodles were back in the 70s? And whatever happened to Ring Ding Sr.?

I miss Yodels being in a foil wrapper.

I hear that one of the reasons for the corn syrup in baked goods is that it retains the moist texture.

Jack , do you remember Ebingers?
Rosie ODonnel once had someone dig out an Ebingers recipe so she could present the retro cake to Barbara Streisand.

If the world blew up there would be roaches and twinkies left. lol

A girlfriend once asked me, in a crowded elevatator, how I could eat twinkies? I advised that they were more enjoyable as they became harder to find since they were all made in one huge batch in the `50s as bombshelter treats for the kids. REALLY? Oh, yeah baby, I would never lie to you. And the whole elevator broke up.

And the whole elevator broke up.

Sending the lot of you plummeting to certain doom, if it hadn't been for the Fallout Shelter directly under the elevator shaft and its cache of perma-soft sqooshy snack cakes! lol

OMG MrBern! I'd take that as a sign from above! lol

Mickey's Banana Flips!

I haven't seen one in years, they were great.
