On this date in 1933 (I read 1930 in one article, but I'll go with the history site) the Twinkie was introduced to a junk-food snack loving public.
It was filled with banana cream until bananas were rationed during WWII and the vanilla cream-filled cakes have been popular ever since.
Twinkies are not only a favorite dessert or snack. It is a staple on TV since it was featured advertising on the Howdy Doody show and became Archie Bunker's favorite snack on All in the Family.
Try the strawberry Twinkie shortcake recipe on the Hostess cakes website.
