Happy 75th Birthday, Twinkies!
Our little Twinkie is all grown up -- this cream-filled snack cake is turning 75 this month. Despite the rumors that Twinkies are so chemical-filled that they never go bad, in reality, the shelf like of a Twinkie is actually around 25 days, according to Theresa Cogswell, vice president for research and development at Interstate Bakeries Corporation, Hostess' parent company. The Washington Post notes that
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).
