Twinkie

snack cake

A Twinkie is a golden sponge cake which has a creamy filling. It was made by James A. Dewar in 1930, and is made by Hostess.

Two twinkies (one in half)

The Twinkie was originally filled with banana cream inside but switched to a vanilla cream taste during the Second World War when bananas were rationed. Twinkies have around 150 calories (627.6 kJ) in each bar. Twinkies have a cookbook and it has over 60 recipes.[1] They can also be deep-fried, like the deep-fried Mars bar.

Twinkies also have a mascot called Twinkie the Kid which is an anthropomorphized Twinkie.
