Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 As I sit here munching happily on my twinkie, I am struck by a profound thought; this golden yellow snack cake with cream filling is meant to imitate some bizarre fibrous fruit pod that our ancestors climbed into the jungle canopy to gather millenia ago, the memory of which has come to us through the mists of time via the superconsciousness and entered our modern culture as a junk food item intended to fulfill a craving we don't consciously remember having. *!* I checked. There's nothing in the twinkie... ------------------ 'I can fly. I'm a pilot.' --Drunk dude in Independence Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Odin Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 but yet the banana peel can be eaten and actaully be good for you. the plastic wraper can't be eaten and be good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 My God! It says: 'Enriched wheat flour [flour, ferrous sulfate (iron),'B' vitamins (niacin, thiamine mononitrate (B1), riboflavin (B2), folic acid)], sugar, corn syrup, water, high fructose corn syrup, vegetable and/or animal shortening (contains one or more of: partially hydrogenated soybean, cottonseed, or canola oil, beef fat), dextrose, whole eggs. Contains 2% or less of: modified corn starch, cellulose gum, whey, leavenings (sodium acid pyrophosphate, baking soda, monocalcium phosphate), salt, cornstarch, corn flour, corn syrup solids, mono and diglycerides, soy lecithin, polysorbate 60, dextrin, calcium caseinate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, wheat gluten, calcium sulfate, natural and artificial flavors, caramel color, sorbic acid (to retain freshness), color added (yellow 5, red 40).' Well, then. Let's look at the items I've highlighted. Beef fat: Uhm, okay. Go ahead and fry that twinkie in beef fat. Yum! Sodium acid pyrophosphate: We're sure this thing isn't gonna explode in my stomache, right? Natural and artificial flavors: Once and for all, what in the hell are twinkies supposed to taste like in nature? What grows on a bush and tastes like a twinkie?!?

Gold leader Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 I know! I know! A twinkie! A twinkie! . . . That's wrong? But...but I thought it was a twinkie. It isn't a twinkie? What is it then if it isn't a twinkie? A twunkie? I give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 Wally the space dolphin says that twinkies are made by gray aliens on the dark side of the moon in a giant snack cake factory, then shipped to Earth in a 'communications satellite' which NASA retrieves with the spaceshuttle so it can bring its payload of space cakes into the Hostess factory without anyone ever being the wiser. He also says that grays occasionally slip and fall into the machinery; for legal reasons, this means they must mention animal fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
