How long has it been since you had a Twinkie?

I loved Twinkies as a teenager. I'm going to guess it has been that length of time (1976 HS graduate) since I had one.
I would ride my bike to the local mom-n-pop store and buy Twinkies and an RC cola with my babysitting money. I didn't get my license until I was 18. My Mom figured I would end up partying and skipping school (like my older siblings) if I had a car. She was probably right.

First you have to go buy a package of Hostess cupcakes. If you are still dissatisfied report back.

Haven't had them in years, but as I recall they were pretty good, far better than Twinkies or Snowballs IMO...

.....Does anyone remember a "The Twinkie Kid" ad campaign?

It's apparently "Twinkie the Kid".

Twinkie the Kid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I remember the TV commercials for Twinkies featuring Twinkie The Kid. I have absolutely no recollection of the exact year(s) they aired though....maybe late 60's or early 70's.
