Twinkie

Did you know the ‘twinkie’ is 80 years old today? James A. Dewar who worked for Hostess, got an idea to put banana filling in a donut. He began using banana flavored filling, but because bananas were rationed during WWII, he changed to vanilla, which was easy to obtain. His ‘filled donut’ later evolved into a Twinkie.
Did you also know Twinkies can be preserved for up to 24 days because they have no milk products.
