/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I have no idea, and as a kid I'd literally just eat packets of sugar. I'd eat just about anything just as long as it had sugar in it (ironically I was underweight for most of my childhood, but I played tons of sports). Twinkies, however, I always found disgusting.

Hohos on the other hand, that's another story;.

Twinkies have always been terrible. That shouldn't have come as a surprise. Anything that comes wrapped in plastic is a bad sign. Then there's the fact that it's supposed to be a baked good, but it has never been baked. That's a tip off. Then there's the ingredient list. Nothing good comes of having over 30 ingredients in one food item, ever. There are nearly 40 ingredients in a Twinkie.

twinkies aren't that fatty and most other pastries are basically the same thing, expensive or not.

The chocolate ones were tolerable for me, but the plain ones tasted so bland to me.

I still remember the first time I ever had one.
My brother (who worked at a grocery store) bought a box when he'd first heard they were going out of business and chucked one at me saying to enjoy it.

I can honestly say I agree with your assessment.
Give me a goddamn snoball anyday

>>5358771
Shut up you fucking snob

I typically bash any food snobs/'junkfood is junk" shitposting, but i agree here....twinkies do suck and are overrated. superior cake snack coming through.

Snowballs are the only good Hostess snack.

no regrets, although the new zingers they are selling now or shit :(

>>5358771
Yep. Those and most other “snack cakes” taste shit pure shit. Well not even shit, they don't even have that much flavor. Just cardboard and chemicals.

>>5358771
Someone gave me a twinkie when I was maybe 7. I ate half if it before aborting my efforts to enjoy it. It coated the roof of my mouth with a grimy film of what must have been whatever sort of wax or hydrogenate oil whip the use for the cream mixed up with chewed cake. It was gross. Which I don't get, either, because Twinkies seem to be the go-to favorite snack cake and there are so many superior ones that do not taste like sugar, wax and chalk.

>>5359114
Case in point

Srs question, did Hostess stop making Suzy Qs or something? That shit was fantastic, but I haven't seen them anywhere.

>it's supposed to be a baked good, but it has never been baked
Twinkies do in fact contain real food, they are truly baked, and the official shelf life is a mere 25 days. After this time, the Twinkie will continue to exist (as proven by the science teacher in Maine), but will diminish greatly in taste and texture.

This. Anyone who's ever found a box of Twinkies in their pantry that they forgot about for over four months can attest to how disgusting they taste after that time.

The whole "Twinkies can survive a nuclear apocalypse" malarkey is more or less just pop culture claptrap.

There's a huge difference between a food snob who will only eat this particular pastry from this particular bakery in this particular major city and someone calling bullshit on utter garbage being passed off to the general public as something wonderful. Unfortunately there are many who just don't know any better, because their only experience of baked goods comes from products from Hostess, Betty Crocker, Little Debbie and the like. And if you don't know any better you'll eat that shit.

Your "superior cake snack" is no better. The very concept of a "cake snack" is what's at fault here.

>all cake snacks are bad wah!
>stop liking what I don't like!

>>5360588
Just because it tastes different doesnt mean it's unfit for consumption you stupid little fuck.
I'll drop a nuke on you next to a twinkey, guess which one will survive.

Look the fuck out
based New Jersey coming through

>>5358771
The texture sucks and it's sickeningly sweet. I'd like to have one of those deep-fried twinkies they make in the US, I imagine they are better at least on the texture.

>>5361736

Yeah, the texture is what kills the damn things for me. The cake feels like nothing else in this world and it's just unappetizing.

But Zebra Cakes? Fuck, I'd eat a whole box of those little shits.

>Tastykake
>New Jersey

get the fuck out, Tastykake is a Philly original.

>other than sweet and fat

>*like*
Also your being a pansy over processed goods. Did you think it was a custard filled cornbread tube? Faggot.

God tier.

>literally tastes like pure, concentrated sugar and chemicals

No thanks. I'd rather bake a real apple pie.

twinkies are rocket fuel in an "edible" form.

>>5364346

>tastes like chemicals
>pure, concentrated sugar

you are a shithead.

>>5364325
I've never seen these in my entire life

They look good

>>5362991
Hostess is shit but this is their worst offender. If you're gonna buy sweet cakey snack foods, stick to little debbie.

>>5365637
Not even. What's with all the hate on fruit pies? They're one of the few hostess things I can stomach. The mini chocolate donuts are the best though.

>>5361670
>I'll drop a nuke on you next to a twinkey, guess which one will survive.

The hell is a Twinkie Weiner sandwich?

Britbong here, had a twinkie first in my late teens after hearing years of stuff about them.

They're not the best thing ever but they are pretty tasty in their own weird way. Not worth the something like 1 pound a twinkie fucking American candy shops charge for.
