[@budabk]

The Twinkie was invented in the early 1930s by a man named Dewar. He wanted to make productive use of his strawberry sponge cake machinery when strawberries weren't in season. Originally the sponge cake was filled with banana cream, but it was replaced with vanilla cream due to the great World War 2 banana shortage.

[@antaine1916]

Unfortunately, Hostess was acquired several years ago by another company which altered the recipes & equipment used to produce the products. It's not a joke to say that they were much better in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.

[@parteibonza]

yes I thought it went out of business some years back - people were complaining that there would never be twinkies again. I guess from what you say - there never will.

[@aaronm9478]

True that! Hostess products are definitely NOT as good as they used to be.

[@Cranilla13]

Agreed.

I've heard that county fairs in the US have vendors that sell deep fried twinkys. Never had one but heard that they are sinfully good

[@DianeJennings]

Sounds yummay

[@peterjamesfoote3964]

That’s probably full of fat too, but probably very yummy and crispy.

[@piggylumps3823]

It’s true! Fairs in the US celebrate our propensity towards obesity. Along with deep fried Twinkies we do deep fried Oreos, deep fried pies, and even deep fried butter

[@paulelliott682]

Don't forget deep fried Kool-aid and Snickers. Texas is well known for what haven't we battered and deep fried yet contests

[@stephenriggs8177]

Our fair sells fried butter. I'm not going there.

[@HemlockRidge]

I live in central Pennsylvania. We had more Tastykakes because they were kinda local (Philadelphia). They are basically the same line-up of cream filled cupcakes, but they also have Koffee Kakes, Butterscotch Krimpets, and Kandy Kakes (peanutbutter cream). TastyKake also makes pies (more like a turnover) with various fillings, and a Tasty Klair (my fave). Also brownies, mini donuts, and danishes.

[@piggylumps3823]

A bit of trivia for you; originally Twinkies had a banana flavored cream inside of them but during WW2 they couldn’t get the banana so they changed it to vanilla and it just stayed that way.

[@RoGueNavy]

But they do periodically produce banana Twinkies.

[@pjschmid2251]

Ironic since banana flavored things today are rarely made with bananas. The science of flavoring has come along way, and most things that are any kind of flavored do not contain the actual item named in the flavor.

[@KenCunkle]

Seriously, you have GOT to get a pack of Hostess SnoBalls. They're much like the regular Hostess cupcake that you had, except that instead of chocolate frosting, they're covered with marshmallow cream (usually pink, but also green and white) imbued with coconut. Just gobble down a couple of those with a glass of cold milk, and you'll be in heaven, and shortly after in the dentist's office getting some cavities filled.

My personal favorite are their "Raspberry Zingers" that are covered on the outside with raspberry jam & coconut 🥥 👀👅❤️🔥 A one way ticket to Yummsville!!

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

My favorite Hostess treat only existed for about five years, during the '80s. It was called a Pudding Pie, and came with either a yellow custard filling, and a chocolate outer glaze, or chocolate pudding with a hard sugar glaze, similar to that on a glazed donut. I sure do miss those babies.

[@DianeJennings]

Ohhh I hate when that happens

[@markdecker6190]

I used to love the chocolate pudding pies!

[@aquilapetram]

Most of the snack cake companies did pies (really, they're closer to turnovers) with various fruit/pudding/curd-type fillings. Even the regional and store brands did those. Dolly Madison, the company that used to be one of the big sponsors for the Charlie Brown cartoon specials that came at holidays for 35 years or so, mostly did pies and Zingers, a sort of Twinkie-like cream-filled cake with frosting, in various flavors. Typical pies from everybody were chocolate (chocolate pudding), lemon (a sort of lemon curd), apple, cherry and "berry" (they never said what kind of berry; probably whatever was available). A Wikipedia check on Dolly Madison informs me that it's been a division of Hostessfor some years. I guess Zingers got taken over by Hostess during that period. Further Wiki-izing reveals that Hostess has recently been purchased by Smucker's, a big American jam company.

[@BrandonLeeBrown]

The Hostess chocolate cupcakes used to look like the ones on the box. When I was growing up, they were my favorite. These days, they don't look or taste the same as they as they used to, but they're still good. I think the current Little Debbie chocolate cupcakes are closer to the old Hostess cupcakes.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

"Sno Balls" were originally covered with a white marshmallow coating, coconut & no filling,, But wanting to make them popular,, They would add filling & tint the coconut pink.

[@rrrobinson97202]

Those Twinkies were part of battle rations I had in the Navy. We were having training and we had battles rations that were very old like 1947 and it was 1974 when we ate the rations. Twinkies was one item made in 1947 as I remember. That's when we all found out how long a twinkie last. Well it was not fresh but it still was ok even if it wads a little stiff.

[@inspectre27]

I love watching your videos! More often than not there are a few laughs and it ends with me smiling. Now there is NOTHING like a Hostess cupcake and a cold glass of milk.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

Two days ago you reacted to a song with the opening line, "Nibblin' on sponge cake." Today you nibbled on sponge cake yourself. More than a coincidence? When I was a kid I would take the cupcakes apart and eat the components separately: the little squiggly thing on top, the chocolate frosting, the cake, and the creme filling (it's "creme" - there's not a drop of cream in it). I can't say this is the correct way to eat a Hostess cupcake. It was just me being obsessive.

[@DianeJennings]

😮😮😮 there’s no such thing as a coincidence?

[@LindaC616]

I ate them the same way, Jeff. 😅

Snowballs are basically a Hostess cupcake with a marshmallow and coconut covering. Mostly in pink. Love the covering would peel it off and eat it first. Chewie should have a treat video.

[@captainz9]

My grandmother had a thing for Twinkies (on top of being a 2-1/2pk/day smoker) so whenever we visited their house (usually holidays, Xmas, Thanksgiving, Easter) I'd wind up eating a few Twinkies... But for the most part we never ate or got those things - my mom would make homemade cookies for our school lunches, etc.

[@bethlovcy1276]

I am old enough that buying the double pack of cupcakes or snowballs were 5¢, later raised to 7¢ and then 10¢. I am 74 and still could eat a box of Twinkies myself, not at one time, though, lol. One of my weaknesses besides marshmallow treats, home made of course. My grandmother used to make them for us kids way back in the day.

[@RoGueNavy]

Oh, Diane...you need to try a Mexican snack cake called the Gansito! Picture a Twinkie, with a run if strawberry jam in addition to the creme filling, and the whole thing is covered in chocolate!

"pièce de résistance" With French like that, you should try Vachon cakes. "donut holes" aka "Timbits" in Canada. They are available in your local Tim Hortons in Portadown, Northern Ireland or several locations in Belfast.

When i was little (so 90s) my mom used to take me to an actual Hostess store. The store was stocked with rhe typical boxes of product but they had a whole section of individual items. You could mix and match whatever you wanted. I remember always asking my mom for whatever snowball they had in that moment. Like Valentine's day they had pink snowballs or for st. Patricks day they had green ones. Funny at 36 i will treat myself to a snowball every now and again 😊

Frosting has a base that is made with a fat, such a butter, cream cheese, or cream. Frosting is thick and fluffy, and is used to coat the outside of a cake. Icing is made with powdered sugar and liquid, such as water, milk, or juice. Icing is thinner and glossier than frosting.

Yeah, Hostess cakes were part of my snacking regimine while growing up and I especially loved the Snoballs but mostly I was a Drake's Cakes fan, things like Ring Dings, Devil Dogs, Funny Bones, Yankee Doodles, and their pies. Drake's as far as I know wasn't distributed all that much beyond the NE states when I was a kid (a long time ago when the dinosaurs roamed the earth). We used to get them for free sometimes though because one of my Dad's customers at his Chevron station and repair garage was an executive at Drake's Cakes in Newark, NJ.

In my experience as a kid, over 50 years ago, I've had Hostess Cupcakes, Ho Hos, Ding Dongs, Twinkies and Fruit Pies. All of them were heavily advertised during Peanuts specials on tv. I'm honestly not a Good Twinkies guy, but I used to like the fruit pies and the chocolate stuff. The company did briefly go bankrupt and was later bought by somebody else, so the CasBar doesn't look familiar. Another company you might want to look at for baked goods is Dolly Madison. They have some really good stuff as well.

[@aquilapetram]

The cakes with Peanuts characters on the packaging were all Dolly Madisonm which is now a division of Hostess; DM was the primary sponsor of the cartoon series. I suppose Hostess must have bought the company before Charles Schulz died in 2000, but since I was nearly 40 and didn't have kids, I wasn't watching the Peanuts specials as regularly as I used to, so I don't know if/when the advertising changed.

Is it just me or were Ding Dongs and Ho Hos better when they were wrapped in foil? And the chocolate pies were always the best! Prove me wrong. No loss in not having a snowball. The only way to eat them is to pull off the marshmallow top and eat the topping and cake separately.

When I was in college back in the late 60s, the local eatery (known as the T Room, T of Tennessee) served a desert that they called a Mongoose. No one knew where the name came from. Anyway, it was two Twinkies covered with soft serve Ice Cream with a giant pool filled with Chocolate Syrup. It was quite rich and we had to limit ourselves to one a week (sometimes two). It contributed quite a bit to the man I am today. The Kazbars and Bouncers must be more recent. I'm not familiar with them. And yes, there are Ding Dongs which are similar to the Cupcakes but covered all over with chocolate without the swirl and shaped like a fat hockey puck. And there is a knockoff called a King Don.
