Are "Twinkies" available in the UK?

[SurreyGuy]

I LOVE "Twinkies" and have just got my latest "fix" in the States.

Are they available in the UK?

T.I.A.

Hi Surreygirl
Got to say I have never seen "Twinkies" in the UK
If you have a friend or relative in the US why not ask them to send you a box.
I have to admit I don't like them myself but my Son loves them.

Try www.americansweets.co.uk........I found all sorts of stuff I haven't had in ages!!

A Twinkie:-
Enriched Wheat Flour - with ferrous sulphate, B vitamins (niacin, thiamine mononitrate [B1], ribofavin [B12] and folic acid); Sugar; Corn syrup; Water; High fructose corn syrup; Vegetable and/or animal shortening - containing one or more of partially hydrogenated soybean, cottonseed or canola oil, beef fat; Dextrose; Whole eggs; Modified corn starch; Cellulose gum; Whey; Sodium acid pyrophosphate; Baking soda; Monocalcium phosphate; Salt; Cornstarch; Corn flour; Corn syrup solids; Mono and diglycerides; Soy lecithin; Polysorbate 60; Dextrin; Calcium caseinate;
Sodium stearol lactylate; Wheat gluten; Calcium sulphate
Natural and artificial flavours; Artificial vanillin; Caramel colour; Sorbic acid; Colours - yellow 5, red 40.

Not the worse thing you can eat, but not really a natural product? Its been suggested to put one in galss of water and leave it for 15 mins - then see if you want that in your body.......

oh and if you wonder what Polysorbate 60 is...it is a cheap cream / dairy / egg replacement in industrial food. It's derived from corn, palm oil and petroleum..........like the 'flavours' that come also from the petroleum industry

Lots of comments about Twinkies on the web if you want some other info..like where the ingredients come from - China (one of the largest expoerters of petrol based food ingredients like flavourings and preservatives), Malaya, Chad, Peru, Europe etc . Apparently there is no plant in the US that makes sorbic acid - Vit C - so they import the lot - then sell the goods as home made produce of course...

Hello SG30. I'm fine ta, hun, but still woman-less :o(

[SurreyGuy]

Pastafreak - GREAT link, thanks. But I ain't gonna pay �25 or the "offer" price (�13.99)! The boxes I brought back only cost me about a pound!

[Surreygirl30]

awww honey to be honest it really isnt easy meeting someone who is (1) not out for one thing (2) after your money (3) hasnt got millions of secrets etc.... being in the same boat as you i know how hard it is. However, you are good looking and know what you want so i am sure when you meet someone it will be the right someone. xx

[SurreyGuy]

Awwwwwwwwwww, thanks SG30 xx

And B4 ANYONE ELSE says it, we AIN'T gonna be "getting it on together"! :o) No offence, hun (we know the "history"!).

[Surreygirl30]

[SurreyGuy]

Not at all hun - and I KNOW you KNOW that! :o) xx

[Surreygirl30]

I like your way of thinking on things. x
