	Is it weird that I expected there to be way more ingredients in a Twinkie? Hurray for empty calorie, processed food that is absolutely delicious.

	Contrary to popular belief Twinkies cannot survive a nuclear blast.

	Morbo:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 17:11 GMT	30 points
	I was expecting this to be one of those quickie five or six item quizzes. That there are 28 ingredients is kind of horrifying.

	@Mr. Negative: Au contraire. There's a twinkie factory in Natick that will provide the foundation of a post-apocalyptic civilization. At least until it's overrun by mutant octopi.

	Dakota:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 17:13 GMT	3 points
	egg should definitely be accepted.

	gracie:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 17:21 GMT	32 points
	you mean we can't just put "chemicals" and half the ingredients are filled in?

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 17:29 GMT	13 points
	Wow, when I read the ingredients on a Twinkie a few days ago, I had no idea that it would help me on a Sporcle quiz. You never can tell!

	WindSword:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 17:37 GMT	15 points
	Everyone who got them all cheated or works in a twinkie factory. That is a fact.

	jason:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 17:44 GMT	8 points
	I love Twinkies, but why would anyone know all of these?

	Henry:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 17:45 GMT	0 points
	great quiz...i guess you could say i cheated cuz i had a coke zero can in front of me and got caramel color for it lol

	The only way to eat a twinkie is fried

	Journey2688:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 17:56 GMT	40 points
	Did anyone else guess high fructose corn syrup simply because its in everything?

	hoot:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 17:57 GMT	4 points
	I like ho hos better

	JohnTheRev:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 18:12 GMT	6 points
	"That's a big "Twinkie"

Comment below threshold: show it

	y2jdilemma:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 18:25 GMT	11 points
	I never thought Id ever type "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil"..and then it didnt even come up!

	mathias1979:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 18:34 GMT	10 points
	how come typing "corn starch" gets you both "corn starch" and "modified corn starch"...but typing "corn syrup" only gets you "corn syrup" and not "high fructose corn syrup"? seem inconsistent. that cost me an answer Sporcle Gods! Also kicking myself for missing water and salt...could've had me 13/28.

	I'm so glad these never made it to the UK. Seems we have some sense after all

	Billy_Mays:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 18:35 GMT	21 points
	no oxyclean?

	montecarlo:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 18:35 GMT	6 points
	me: "i cant believe that there are no dairy products in those things." coworker: "this is why twinkies never go bad."

	Haunter:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 18:42 GMT	2 points
	Idea for a sequel: Ingredients in a Slim Jim. Gelatin and mechanically seperated chicken, anyone?

	shawnoc:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 18:46 GMT	-2 points
	I can't believe I missed corn syrup solids. I guessed every other form of sugar that there is. ;-( I also can't believe I missed "water".

	Keonyn:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 19:05 GMT	1 point
	Not really elanis, it's not hard to find products with lists far more disturbing in any country in the world. Sign of the times.

	tom:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 19:16 GMT	7 points
	actually monte...whey = dairy product.

	montecarlo:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 19:22 GMT	1 point
	touche. guess i never bothered to understand the nursery rhyme.

	BonesLover:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 19:33 GMT	4 points
	ugh I guessed fat - and it gave it to me

	estivator:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 19:38 GMT	-3 points
	this is beyond disgusting - and I can't believe there was a time when I ate these things.

	Im a fool...i missed corn syrup haha You know how fake such a simple thing is when it has so many incredients lol... It should take like 8-10 not 28!

	RobH:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 20:13 GMT	5 points
	Never had one - I don't think I've even seen one - so I'm not sure I'll attempt this quiz. Yet, bizarrely I still got the Family Guy reference in Ernest's post. It's weird which things travel across the pond and which things don't...

	missymeg05:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 20:16 GMT	2 points
	Gah...now I know why I don't eat Twinkies. Do me a favor Sporcle, don't do a sequel about any of the snack cakes I do enjoy... ;]

	TIMTEBOW15:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 20:28 GMT	4 points
	This was probably the most random sporcle quiz ever

	mased:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 20:45 GMT	-3 points
	fructose should be accepted

	Lepio:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 20:55 GMT	7 points
	I'm very surprised only 0,5% got sodium stearol lactylate

	ianbob:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 21:07 GMT	0 points
	Frightening.

	DLJessup:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 21:13 GMT	6 points
	@Ernest: The Natick twinkie factory will be overrun by octopodes. ("Octopus" is from the Greek; changing "-us" to "-i" in the plural is done on Latin words.)

	melissa:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 21:22 GMT	8 points
	Animal shortening, nice. Just looked it up and found that it's "hog's fat melted and strained from the tissues." I'll have to break it to my vegetarian sister that she needs to lay off the Twinkies.

	Iceberg:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 21:24 GMT	1 point
	VICTORY IS MINE! Actually I failed miserably on this. I take solace in the fact that I haven't actually eaten a Twinkie in decades.

	Lyn_Marie:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 21:50 GMT	5 points
	Damn! I thought it was polysorbate 80.
