Just picked up a box of these yesterday. They went back to the banana cream filling.

Yes, actually it was! I work for Hostess/Wonder/J.J.Nissen...so I know of what I speak.

[Mr.Krusher]

They switched from banana to 'vanilla' cream due to a 'banana shortage' during WW II ....sounds ridiculous, but its true!

I'd like to try one of these...seeing as how I wasnt around pre-WW II to try the originals.

Don't they put the Banana out like once a year? Kind of like a limited edition deal. Personally I do not care for the Banana. I am more of a plain type of guy. I like the original the best.

But isn't 'Banana' the original?

It may very well be. The original to me as I have known it though is the regular Twinkie.

I just wish the boxes had baseball cards on the bottom.

[CowofZot]

I remember when they came out with Twinkies light. What a joke that is, like a Porsche with a 4 cylinder engine, what's the point??

[thunderbolt]

Yeah, that's like getting a salad at McDonald's.

When they were putting Baseball Cards in the Bread, Ted Williams walked through our Bakery.

They did put old-school look Twinkie the Kid back on tyhe box and also Captain Cupcake on the Hostess Cupcakes box....I miss all those old guys....Ho Ho, Chief Big Wheel, Fruitpie the Magician....
