They have a health warning on the back, not a good sign.
The original price on them is crazy an all.

Please check the e number colours in these before consuming. Absolutely terrible for asthmatics & children. To be honest they don't even taste good :neutral_face:

That's pretty serious because they have a long long shelf life.
Just as an experiment about 8 years ago we put one in its clear wrapper on a shelf in the office. It's still there and doesn't look any different now that it did when we first put it there.

Tried one last year. Rotten.
Lads I wouldn't recommend buying these for the other half on Sunday..definitely no access to the Hershey highway after she tries them.

I think they are a bit like Absinth - worth trying just so you can state you know what they taste like..... and you might turn slightly green and feel sick a bit like the after affect from absinth too.
I tried one about a year ago and my pancreas is currently screaming at me with just the thought of it. Super sweet.

I think B&M is the place where Twinkies go to die, they're nearly always short dated.

If someone can let Tallahassee know I'm sure he'd be most grateful.

Awful things... mentioned a lot on American pop culture but they really are vile imo!
Avoid. Heat for the price though OP.

This and Hershey's milk chocolate are two American products I just can't understand how anyone eats them! How are they still in production?

It's obvious to anyone who's eaten any why it's not fathomable how anyone could eat American 'chocolate' but these have always looked highly trashy and appealing.

I belive the excuse for Hershey's is that it has to survive over a much larger temperature range than UK chocolate.

Completely agree. Their chocolate tastes like vomit and I can't understand why they think it's the best thing since sliced bread!

So that's why they taste so good! I need to eat more GM stuff. :smiley:
I tried one of these out of curiosity last year. Tastes like processed fat.

Indeed. I purchased a short dated box of these from B&M just after Xmas. Personally, I would rather eat my pillow. Truly dreadful experience :-(

I can only agree, i tired these just recently, utterly vile, tastes like you just shoved a pile of chemical goo into your mouth, which is in fact you did. lol

Great price if you like them, but if you haven't tried them, really don't bother, they are slimy greasy and horrible.

I think they are pretty nice, obviously really bad for you.
always reduced to clear in my BMs, every kid I've gave them to love them.
Although the warning on them is scary!!

Heat added for the price - guiltily though as these really are one of the most disgusting unnatural products available. :confused:

And here was me thinking the Twinkie was the gateway to her guts....
Opening post
Most of the originals are already past best before date (16/1/16) but some of the banana ones were 22/2/16.

The milk is partially lipolyzed, producing butyric acid, which is the dominate flavor in Romano cheese. This flavor gives the product a particular sour, "tangy" taste, to which the US public has come to love, to the point that other manufacturers often add butyric acid to their milk chocolates.
