Twinkies were invented in 1930 as a clever solution to keep a bakery's equipment running after strawberry shortcake season ended. Originally made with fresh ingredients like milk and eggs, the snack had a shelf life of only a few days. Over the decades, new owners repeatedly changed the recipe, turning Twinkies into a reflection of how America's food industry evolved. It's a fascinating story of innovation, efficiency, and changing consumer tastes.
