TWINKIES CEREAL

Twinkies cereal will be hitting store shelves nationwide next month. Post Hostess Twinkies Cereal replicates the snack cake’s flavor, as well as its golden color and oblong shape. A one cup serving of the cereal is 180 calories — slightly more than a single 150 calorie Twinkie. History: The Twinkie, which turns 90 next year, was first created in 1930 by a baker who decided to take advantage of various food-processing machines in the factory he worked at, and was able to inject cream into a cake. The Twinkie name was inspired by a billboard advertising “Twinkle Toe Shoes.”
* And yes, the celebrity spokesperson for “Twinkle Toe Shoes” was the young Liberace.
* Does the cereal last 400 years, like real Twinkies?
* They’re not even pretending to offer nutrition any more, are they?
* Honey Bunches of Kale didn’t even make it past the focus group.
* I’m still waiting for Krispy Krem-eos.
