Ungh! Twinkies BACK! *Rick Ross Voice* That’s right, they’re back, but not bigger, smaller. But, regardless they have finally made they’re timely return. Shortly after former owners announced the ending of one of America’s most beloved treats, shoppers bought every box of Twinkies they saw. Some froze them for later dates and some took to eBay and Craig’s List to sell them for hundreds of dollars –even thousands. Maybe that’s why less than a year passed before they finally hit the shelves again. Hit the jump for more info.
Right before the former owners closed shop, they revealed to the Associated Press that they would be decreasing the size of the original Twinkies. Twinkies were originally 150 calories per cake. Photos of past boxes online also indicate the weight to have been 42.5 grams per cake, but now the new boxes hitting shelves list the cakes as having 270 calories and a weight of 77 grams for two cakes, or 135 calories and 38.5 grams for one cake.
Not only are they back, they care about our health. Clearly a win-win!
