That, and most of them have shrunk in size, but grown in price.I've noticed that all the snacks I loved as a kid, just taste like plastic to me.

Yeah, I’d rather have a cupcake...Been a very long time since eating one of those.....and rather have a cup cake instead.
True, I have gotten a whole lot bigger....No, you've gotten bigger in size! Lol
Well how did it taste? How many did you eat?
I'm offended by the term twinkies.
Now I'm going looting...
So, my fav factory tour. I went to over 50 IBC bakery plants while working for IBC. Here was my fav experience.
Went to Phillie, Great Plant. There they made snack cakes and bread. More importantly, they made Ho-Ho's one of my favs. So are you ready?
Hostess had a patent on how to make a "Swiss roll". Flat cake Batter deposited on a band oven baked for a few minutes. In other words, a continuous very slim flat cake. That is Chocolate Cake Batter remember. The cake then came out and then got the White Creme Filling on the top of the quickly baked flat cake. Then through basically a maze to get it folded into what Ho-Ho's look like. AND THEN, it goes through a Liquid Chocolate "Water Fall" to cover the rolled Cake plus White Stuff.
Now, are you ready?? After the Chocolate Water Fall, keep in mind the cake just came out of the oven, then cake plus the water fall chocolate covering goes through a short Nitro Freezer that quickly freezes the Chocolate covering so that the product can be packaged.
Now, stay with me here, IF you take a Ho Ho off the line just after the Nitro Freezer, you get a Frozen Chocolate outside with a WARM cake inside. When one bites it, it cracks! Then one gets the warm cake taste and creme filling that releases all of the Chocolate/Creme Flavor. My heaven!!
If you want to hear the story of Honey Buns/Bear Claws, let me know.
Best to you all B.
