A '''Twinkie''' is a golden sponge cake which has a creamy filling. The Twinkie was created by James A. Dewar in 1930 and is made by [[Hostess]]. Twinkies can also be deep-fried and this was inspired by the [[deep frying|deep-fried]] Mars bar. The Twinkie was originally filled with banana cream inside but was forced to switch to the vanilla cream flavor during the [[World War II|Second World War]] because the bananas were rationed.

Twinkies have a cookbook and it has over 50 recipes.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hostesscakes.com/twinkies.asp |title=Archived copy |access-date=2010-08-04 |archive-date=2006-05-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060518130119/http://www.hostesscakes.com/twinkies.asp |url-status=dead }}</ref> Twinkies also have a mascot called ''[[Twinkie the Kid]]'' which is an [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphized]] Twinkie.
