The lowly Twinkie (all clever racial or sexual connotations aside) is one oddly amazing little treat. And honestly I can't believe that any normal American over 40 could say that they've never enjoyed eating a pair.

Kids don't care, but with grown up kids Twinkies always inspire deeper questions, like; "Is it really cake? Do they really survive unaffected by a nuclear blast? -and- Can I have another one?"

As it turns out, they are partly made from Chinese petroleum, five different kinds of rocks, & dangerously poisonous substances, and pretty much last longer than a can of Spam. And boy, do they taste yummy!
