Don't forget the "Forever Twinkie". I don't think one of them has ever rotted.

Krogen, please don't send me any more email. i'll delete it, too. Let's keep it ON the board. It really should be OK if we don't agree on diet.

As a fan of Twinkies, I was excited to see they have returned. I have always joked that when I die I would not need to be enbalmed (sp?) because of my Twinkie consumption. I was shocked to read the other day that the original Twinkie had a 3 day shelf life and then were taken to the Hostess 'outlet' to be sold as old/out of date. The new version of the Twinkie has a 45 day shelf life (because that is what the competition has). Unfortunately this change (based on the reporters opinion) has made the sponge cake of the new Twinkie much drier than the original Twinkie.

I'm just kind of surprised. I tried a Twinkie once. Didn't like it, never ate another one ... but those who love 'em don't want 'em messed with.

They weren't gone that long -- to change the recipe, I think it was a mistake. But it's all academic to me. It was the filling didn't like, not the sponge cake. For me if you're going to stuff a cake, do it with cream patisserie!

I'm guessing no refrigeration is required as there's no actual food in it.

Heinz salad creme can also double as tarter sauce for fish, I know there is no tarter in it, it just tastes good with fish.
