25 Aug 2006 Twinkies: The final verdict
![[Misc]](http://www.graxdomain.co.uk/images/site/Misc01.jpg)
In my teenage years I went to the USA with my Dad and his girlfriend at the time for a holiday. I also took my old school friend along. We had
fun during the two weeks. One day my Dad bought a twelve pack of twinkies. I was excited; I was going to get the infamous twinkie I've
heard so much about on TV (mainly the Simpsons quote made by Apu "Silly customer, you cannot hurt a twinkie!")
However my dreams were to be shattered when I discovered my friend had eaten them all like a glutton. I didn't even get to look at a twinkie,
let alone try one. To this day I still hold a faint feeling of animosity towards him, and a heavy feeling in my heart that I may never get to try
the golden treat in my lifetime...
Until now. Thanks to my girlfriend, after her two week training/holiday in America, she brought me back a packet of twinkies! My face lit up with joy. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you The Twinkie™:
I unwrapped the packaging like a child on Easter with a grin on my face. I carefully peeled one from the wrapper and I took a bite out of it...
It was the taste of disappointment.
It didn't taste very good at all. The cake and the cream had a really nasty chemically sensation. It felt really artificial in my mouth. The
more I chewed the less I liked but I had to finish the twinkie I had in my hand. So I ended it, thus my dreams of enjoying a twinkie had ended too.
All this for a buck 25. My girlfriend and I got ripped-off.
This is the cake-like delight that has Americans ranting on about it? It's nasty! What's wrong with you people??

Behold Grax the Fried-Twinkie... just ask your local american Fish&Chip shop...
"Something magical occurs when the battered, oblong pastry hits the hot oil. The creamy, white vegetable shortening filling liquefies, impregnating the sponge cake with its luscious vanilla flavor (imitation, but potent….). The cake itself softens and warms, nearly melting, and becomes a buttery and suave contrast to the crisp, deep-fried crust."

Silly Grax, don't you know? Not all of like Twinkies. If ya would've asked me, I would've told you they are the most vile things I've ever put in my mouth. @_X Zingers on the other hand... ELYSE said on Saturday 2nd of September 2006 at 02:04:10 AM
Dear, sweet, naive Grax. We do not eat Twinkies. We age them for ten years to ensure the quality of their chemically injected shells and nuclear powered cream. Once the aging process has completed, we use them to bomb our enemies. A-Bomb? No. That was a Twinkie that the government found in a bunker that had not been opened in 20 years. Now you're well-informed. Congratulations. marcelle said on Thursday 26th of June 2008 at 06:51:44 PM
