  2. At the risk of looking like a fool - what exactly is a twinkie ?

    We don't have them in the UK.
    Am I missing something ?

  3. It's a very American snack. It is a yellow sponge cake with a whipped frosting inside. It's not very good for you, but they are delicious. You should try ordering some online.
