Twinkies
Eris:
Also, I used to work as a place that made noodles a la Noodlebox and they were so good. Then I realised that our shop wasn't the most hygienic of places and the smell of noodleshops like that bring back memories of that time and I lose my appetite. Fuck you Yummy Noodle.

I avoid Twinkies most of the time. Though every summer, I buy a box and FREEZE THEM which makes them tastier, plus it's cool and more filling than an icepop. Even though there's the empty calories, and the sugar. But, too, they don't melt and get all messy.
I love salad. My friends accuse me of being a rabbit. And FRIED OREOS? Oh, God, tell me that's a lie ... I've heard they even fry Snickers bars ... Gross. Then there's fried ice cream ... No wonder so many of us Americans are dying of heart disease and cholesterol! We're frying every damn thing!:
And I prefer Zingers, too. My gran and I used to have the raspberry ones occasionally when my parents were gone.
Darkbluerabbit:
Never, ever underestimate what Americans will deep fry, especially in the midwest and the south. We can and will coat anything in batter and infuse it with fat. Hell, some guy in Texas deep fried BEER.
--- Quote ---The beer is placed inside a pocket of salty, pretzel-like dough and then dunked in oil at 375 degrees for about 20 seconds, a short enough time for the confection to remain alcoholic. When diners take a bite the hot beer mixes with the dough in what is claimed to be a delicious taste sensation.

As ridiculous as it sounds, I'm somewhat impressed. A friend and I once tried to deep fry Jolly Ranchers and it did not end well.

I bought one from Cybercandy in London once. It was gross, I was quite disappointed.
Cartilage Head:
I had a deep fried Twinkie once back when the whole deep-frying everything craze started. I was not impressed.
