A Twinkie is a golden sponge cake with a creamy filling popular in the United States. It is distributed by the subcompany Hostess, which is owned by Dallas-based Interstate Bakeries Corporation.
A common urban legend claims that Twinkies have a shelf life of forever, or can last for a relatively long time of ten, fifty, or one hundred years due to chemicals used in production. While this urban legend is false, they really can last a long time (25 days or so), due to the fact that Twinkies are made without dairy products and thus spoil more slowly than most bakery items.
"Twinkie" is the correct spelling, "Twinky" is for ignorant rednecks.
