Re: Game: Guess this food

Looking at the positive... at least there's no added sugar in the batter!

Re: Game: Guess this food

1 Twinkie
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup corn flour

How big is a Twinkie if it asks for 1-1/2 cup of flour?

Deep Fried Twinkies

Re: Game: Guess this food

Deep fried??? Aren't these some sort of cakes with cream? It never crossed my mind to fry cakes! LOL!

Re: Game: Guess this food

I feel lucky. Never had a Twinkie. I actually had to google what it is.

Not even deep fried with a sprinkle of icing sugar?

Yep, I was one of the two. OK, so I'm dense or maybe I was fixated on my sugar pie memories.

Do people really like twinkies? I tried one as a kid (looong time ago) and didn't like it so how good could they be?

p.s. I bet they didn't have all those chemicals in them either back in the 60s.

Well Mizski,

I was under the impression they were one of the major food groups...

...probably less chemicals back then, yes, the taste has changed a bit, but to me ---a super Sugar and Carb - A - Holic....they followed me through adulthood on and off. More "on" the last 6 months before I started Atkins--they kept me in a pretty good feeling Sugar Haze, and helped me hit bottom before I got back up and decided to follow the Atkins WOE after some major research and reading on the ADBB.

That's what I thought...but two people still were guessing so I thought I misunderstood!!! LOL

Isn't there a little hockey game today?

Re: Game: Guess this food

Yes you did get the prize - it was/is twinkies
Great "food" to eat if you want a mixture of transfat and sugars and a bunch of chemicals usually only found in soap.

Re: Game: Guess this food

You think so eh -



The treat with 26 ingredients most of which are sugars and chemicals.
But that is what it is. I wonder what the glycemic index of a twinkie is?

Hi Liv,

Was that a YES to Twinkies or a NO? I am confused.

Re: Game: Guess this food

There are things that are insanely Atkins illegal that I may want to but for this particular food reading the list of ingredients just is such a buzz killer for me.

Re: Game: Guess this food

Sugar pie?

Would you believe I still want some? Well...my mind wants some.

Re: Game: Guess this food

Whoops first guess was off, no cinnamon. How about Cornbread?

No - not quite - it is a treaty food though.

for a 40gr twinkie you get
Total Fat 4.5g Saturated Fat 2.5g Cholesterol 20mg Sodium 220mg Total Carbohydrates 27g Sugars 19g Protein 1g and countless chemicals and preservatives. A true bargain. LOL

Liv, the sodium level isn't too bad!!!LOL
