Banana Twinkies
According the Twinkie entry on Wikipedia, the original Twinkie (invented in 1930) had a banana creme filling but was changed to vanilla creme during WWII. Now, Hostess has re-introduced the Banana Twinkie. It tastes like - you guessed it - a Twinkie with banana creme filling. I found it to have a nice banana flavor that is an improvement over the vanilla creme variety. It may be tempting to think of the Banana Twinkie as a "healthy" snack due to the banana flavor, but I wouldn't take it that far. Just enjoy it for what it is - tasty sponge cake with a sugar-creme filling.

Posted by: Jill at January 21, 2008 8:03 PMThe first time I tried the banana twinkies when they first came out a few years ago, and the filling tasted artificial. A couple of weeks ago I saw them in a convenience store and decided to try them again. They actually improved the taste and it tasted a lot better. I'd definitely have them again, but there are very few places that carry them.
