Twinkies were originally filled with banana cream in the 1930's, but during WWII bananas were rationed so the company was forced to switch to vanilla cream instead. Are you old enough to remember when they had to switch?

Finally in 2009, the TX State Fair introduced the deep fried twinkie to the world and it spread across the U.S. with great acclaim...followed by ballgames, various restaurants, and fried food establishments. Hot twinkies anyone?
