You've never had a Twinkie, have you?

I vote yes. Twinkies NEVER decay.

You wanna see what we got? I got a croquet mallet that wants to meet your skull. Come get it bitch.

Sorry, Miss, but YAY HAMMER!

Can't stay in shape if you're starving.

It is a baked product, and like all baked products, it has a limited life, although it spoils a bit slower than others.

Shelf life

A common urban legend claims that Twinkies have an infinite shelf life or can last unspoiled for a relatively long time of ten, fifty, or one hundred years due to chemicals used in production. This urban legend is false, as Twinkies can last a relatively long time (25 days or more) because they are made without unstabilized dairy products or eggs and thus spoil slower than most bakery items.

The cakes' sturdiness and longevity have led to the myth, say Hostess officials, that Twinkies have a shelf life measured in years, even decades. Roger Bennatti, a science teacher at George Stevens Academy in Blue Hill, Maine, kept one perched atop his chalkboard for 30 years. "It's rather brittle, but if you dusted it off, it's probably still edible," he told the Associated Press when he retired last year.

In reality, Twinkies' shelf life is more like 25 days, says Theresa Cogswell, who calls herself the Twinkie guru and is vice president for research and development at Interstate Bakeries Corp., the parent company of Hostess. She admits she got a good laugh out of the 30-year-old Twinkie story but says she wouldn't want to eat one quite that old. "You can eat older Twinkies, but they're just not as good as when they're fresh. Then they're awesome."

Still, a 25-day shelf life is pretty long. That's because Twinkies contain no dairy-based ingredients that could quickly go bad. Twinkies are basically flour, sugar (three kinds of it), oil, eggs and chemicals (mainly preservatives and stabilizers). They're 150 calories each, about a third of that from fat.

The Twinkie has hit 5 Ayes, so it's up for grabs.
