Travesty!


Oh sure, sure, it's all "retro" and everything...but it's not what I recall from MY childhood. Banana flavor seems....wrong....

Twinkies come in banana flavor

"NEW YORK — Twinkie lovers, get ready to go bananas.

Hostess - owned by Kansas City, Mo., company Interstate Bakeries Corp. - began selling the banana-creme snack cakes last week at retail stores nationwide, returning to its 70-year-old roots. From 1930, when the Twinkie was first invented, to the 1940s, Twinkies were filled solely with banana creme. But a banana shortage during WWII forced Hostess to replace it with the vanilla flavor."

And by the way, may I just say "ew!" Artificial banana flavored ANYTHING makes me gag, and : shudder :
