Twinkies were invented in 1930 in Illionis, but, so rumor had it, was really invented in 1869 nin Wyoming. Whatever. Here’s what really happened. The sponge cake originated in the 1700s – it was harder than today’s version but grew softer and more fanciful during the 1800s. No doubt legends of sponge cake recipes – mostly passed on by word-of-mouth existed through North America. The Twinkie found its place…and notoriety, in the Hostess Corporate World. Originally, the cream filing was banana but, due to shortages during WW2, vanilla was used instead. Definitely, Twinkie’s rose to stardom in the movie “Ghost Busters.”
