About this listen
Fluffy cake, creamy filling, and a legacy spanning nearly a century—Twinkies have been the epitome of “junk food” in the United States. But did you know that the original recipe had a banana filling? Or that they almost disappeared forever in 2012?
In this video, we dive into the complete history of Twinkies, from their origins during the Great Depression to their iconic place in pop culture, with appearances in movies like Ghostbusters. Discover how they survived ingredient shortages during World War II, the rise and fall of Hostess, and their incredible comeback after bankruptcy.
