Remember in 2012, when there was an apocalypse, and Twinkies were ironically the only thing that didn’t survive?
So, the Twinkies brands were bought up and they reappeared on store shelves after scarcely being gone. But the new Twinkies are not the same as the old ones. For one thing, they now contain dairy ingredients (which the originals didn’t; it was a major factor in how shelf-stable they were), and they aren’t as good. The cake is chewier, the crème filling is somehow blander. These just aren’t the Twinkies we grew up with.
Also, they come individually wrapped. Everyone knows that true Twinkies come in two-packs!
