Ah, the Twinkie... the much beloved but nutritionally vacant snack cake. One is OK, a bowl full may require some self-restraint. Invented in 1930, the Twinkie gained so much popularity that it has become more than just a sweet treat. It can be a metaphor for unhealthy lifestyles or throwing caution to the wind, for perceived intelligence or something without substance. In Ghostbusters, it provided the comparative analysis for the level of ghostly psychokinetic activity menacing New York City. Now that's a big Twinkie!
