Diabetes in a box and also the most un-natural ingredients too. No thanks.

So many virtue signalling, nutribabble food police comments. :confused: Why are people commenting on a deal that they have no interest in other to point out that these aren't 1 of your 5 a day? I can only guess it makes them feel better about themselves and makes others aware of how perfect and flawless their diet, body and lifestyles might be. Nobody cares if you wouldn't feed something soooo unnatural to you or your special snowflakes.

A 150kcal snack isn't going to kill you, cause diabetes, harm you or your children, make you obese etc etc. It's no worse than a chocolate bar, small slice of cake, caramel latte etc

/rant :P

The U.S shipping this crap to our country so we catch up with there obesity levels

Sorry but that's what the science suggests. I love cheese but I'm not addicted to fat. I love chicken but I'm not addicted to protein. I love grapes so I must be addicted to sugar?


There is no strong evidence that shows sugar is addictive specifically. You can be addicted to eating but not a single ingredient or macronutrient and this is a behavioural addiction. A physical addiction i.e. substance abuse, has specific neurobiological mechanisms.


Let's not confuse the pleasure of eating the things we like with an addiction. :smiley:

Tried them once. Never again, thought they were rank. Good deal if you like them though, voted hot.

I must be in the minority. I think they're delicious! I tried them for the first time in Canada, so I associate them when being on holiday. I saw them in Edinburgh Tesco for £7.50 for a box of 10, so this is a bargain price.

never had a twinkie, but now I want one

Any one post a box or two to me? :smiley:

Can confirm the Rochdale store has this offer too. Heat from me.

Vile.

That is all :smile:

Heat if you can stomach them.

clearly not american enough. They dont use the word "disgusting" and also its called a "donut" not a doughnough, whatever...

Twinkies are the cockroaches of the snack food world :disappointed:

You could eat nothing but sugar for the next 9 months and you would die from malnutrition before you ever got diabetes. I dont understand why people with no brains and no medical knowledge insist on either trying to be funny or telling people why they think something is bad even tho their logic is clearly very flawed.

had these 2 weeks ago for the first time and they are so vile! I love sweets and cakes too!

They are a lot worse.

Couldn't care how much sugar or fat is in them if you're going to have one as a treat. That said, I bought the missus a pack of them and she likes them, I took one bite and spat it straight into the bin, awful chemical taste to the filling, and it lingers. If you like Hershey's Chocolate and other bad tasting US imports then you'll love these.

Bought the tried them for first time wouldn't eat again. Not the best tasting

These go well in a shake with haagen daz salted caramel ice cream.

as if all uk snacks and foods are healthy..these are no worse than common chocolate bars.

luv em thanks op and f the science

These are no worse than a cadburys mini roll.

Sugar isn't addictive? What a load of rubbish.

Cheap but taste awful

Taken from the diabetes uk site:

"With Type 2 diabetes, though we know sugar doesn’t directly causes Type 2 diabetes, you are more likely to get it if you are overweight. You gain weight when you take in more calories than your body needs, and sugary foods and drinks contain a lot of calories. And it's important to add that fatty foods and drinks are playing a part in our nation's expanding waistline."

Sugar is as much of a threat as any food eaten to excess. Sugar is not addictive either.

Welcome to the change4life generation

Nothing like Twinkies to get folk chatting. Either take em or leave em it's up to the individual. Did meet an American though that said they are the only thing that would survive a neuclear war by the looks of the comments they may one day start one.

I tried these to see what all the fuss was about, don't think I'm American enough, cos they were disgusting :disappointed:, give me a cream doughnut anyday :stuck_out_tongue:

Taken from the Diabetes UK site..
Diabetes is the fastest growing health threat of our times and an urgent public health issue. Since 1996, the number of people living with diabetes has more than doubled. If nothing changes, it is estimated that over five million people in the UK will have diabetes.

Obviously sugar is a big threat and rubbish like this isn't helping as it is so addictive. If cases of diabetes were dropping then you could be right. :smile:

Yeah but they're not gluten free though.

weird taste :r

garbage

​Thats Hindus screwed!

Nobs who come up with 'you're gonna get diabetes' every time a sweet item is discussed get on my ti.ts!

You think people are gonna buy these and eat the whole lot in one day .. everyday for a month?

got beef in them so not for vegetarians

These are really nice if u don't like them why comment just scroll past some people this world is full of negative people

One of the most disgusting things I've eaten tbh

Best comment I have seen in a long time. The bit that got me giggling was....."your special snowflake"....classic!

I would love to see some of the kitchen food cupboards in these peoples homes who preach about sugar & fat, the first thing I think is..........."People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

Strange eh :wink:

Heat added, these are nice straight out of the fridge

I have them from time to time as treat :smiley:

If you eat these, or worse, give them to your kids, you need your head testing.

These things are way too Sweet. I wouldnt mind trying the Banana flavour though :smiley:

watch how they make a ginormous one on youtube

Great price so heat from me!

Personally think they're incredibly strange. Slight perfumey taste, odd texture. Look weirdly shiny too. Odd.

Horrid cakes tried them today for the first time

Tried these once, but I personally am not a huge fan. Heat added though and a great find!

Take no notice of the "Trolls" on here, they just got nothing better to do.

99p for what? A case of sugar diabetes?

How many do you get?

To counter the anti-twinkie brigade. They're not too bad for a treat if you like them. Do some exercise after for a bit of both worlds.

brought these the other day and the cream tasty a funky off putting taste. not my type heat anyway

these are horrid things!! :disappointed:

Excellent find heat added

Got some last week but wasn't bogof. Very short dated. Heat though, as it was the first time I tried them and quite liked it.
