Questions About Twinkies

[BasketCase]

Before I give myself a mild case of food poisoning or something, I feel I should ask this:

I picked up a 12-pack of individually-wrapped Twinkies from the grocery store. I just opened the box, and I note that some of the packs are kind of balloonish, inflated with pressurized gas, while others are not.

During the normal manufacturing process, are the packages inflated at the factory? Say, to help keep germs and other bad stuff out? Is the gas a by-product of the Twinkie decaying and growing mold? Are the non-pressurized Twinkies leaking, meaning that those Twinkies weren't sealed properly and making the "deflated" Twinkies the hazardous ones?

Your advice would be appreciated. Hurry, I've got a real sweet tooth.

And just for a kick I might as well post this link: Twinkies Project
Things you never knew about Twinkies, and never wanted to know.....

Factory employees fart in specailly marked packages.

Twinkies are so full of chemicals I don't think it would be possible for bacteria to grow in them, eat em.

If I were you I'd find two guys you don't like and offer them the two types of Twinkies and see what happens.

Hold the "Fight Club" segues please????

 

[ummmm........]

As an experienced Twinkie eater, I can assure you without reservation that both the inflated and deflated Twinkies are fine. I can also guarantee you that if you took the Twinkies out of their packages and mixed them up, it would be impossible to tell which were which.

I suspect it has to do with differences in atmopheric pressures during the production cycles.

And wouldn't farting naturally be the most likely cause of differences in atmospheric pressures?

No, it's uneven solar heating, uneven surface composition/elevation, and the coriolis effect. Farting is not a cuasative agent

Your science is ah...perfect, but...spelling is another matter.

Twinkies are overrated. Ho-Hos are better (don't know the Hostess equivalent to Ho-Hos though).

My spelling is perfect; my keyboard is not.

Yep, just learned it today. If you fart in the northern hemisphere the gas goes clockwise, if you fart in the southern hemisphere the gas goes counterclockwise.

Well, I would say that they are Ho-Ho's

I haven't eaten either twinkies or Ho-Hos in a while. Although I am sort of craving for a Ho-Ho right now.

 

[ummmm........]

I just got back from the grocery store, and it turns out I've been thinking of Zingers all this time. So, uh, you're probably . . . dead, or something.

 

[Turner]

Ooooh....did you get the raspberry kind? I like those.

Or the boston creme? those are too rich tho.

 

[BasketCase]

DOH! My bad, it's a box of Zingers, not Twinkies. Sorry.

Edit: Shouldn't I get a warning for posting false info or something???

 

[nonconformist]

What the heck are twinkies?

Oh, man, have you been missing out...


Twinkies are little cakes with creme filling in them.


Anyway, Ring Dings kick Twinkee ass.
