Hostess Twinkies Are Invented (1930)




The Twinkie was invented on April 6, 1930 by bakery manager James Dewar, using shortcake pans that were only utilized during the strawberry season. Twinkies originally contained a banana filling, but this was replaced with a vanilla filling during a banana shortage caused by the outbreak of World War II. Today, Twinkies are one of America's most popular snack foods. How many are produced each year?
