Consumer Reports Tests Prove: Generic Twinkies Not As Good As Original

Since negotiations broke down between management and workers and the mass-consumption snackery Hostess liquidated, American consumers have been left bereft and Twinkieless. No one really cares about Wonder Bread, but Twinkies hold a special place in our national imagination, even for people who haven’t tasted one of the hydrogenated delights in decades. But are the generic Twinkie-ish cakes you see on store shelves worth your time?
Sure, you can read amateur musings about generic Twinkies all over the Internet, but only one publication brings you a panel of professional tasters. That would be our sister publication, Consumer Reports. Their flavor pros in the Foods & Sensory department performed blind taste tests on original Twinkies and Safeway’s Snack Artist Crème Cake.

  1. People always want and love what they cannot have.A big part of the reason why Hostess went out of business was due to poor sales.Why suddenly people are dying for a Twinkie must be due to human nature.If all of the so called Twinkie lovers had bought their products to begin with they would still be around.
