against all odds you have stumbled upon that rarest and most sought after of treasures a fabled relic of the old world a hostess twinkie reverently you pull apart the wrapper and place the precious confection to your lips though years have passed since the fall of civilization the sponge cake is still fluffy and buttery the vanilla cream still smooth and nauseatingly sweet a brief moment you're transported back to a time before you had to scavenge for mushrooms and squirrels and avoid marauding bands of cannibal mutants you suddenly remember what life is all about and you regain the will to keep soldiering on few foods have acquired so legendary a reputation for unnatural longevity as the twinkie with many claiming that the humble sponge cake and cream concoction can remain perfectly edible for up to 50 or 100 years this has led to a popular joke that twinkies along with cockroaches will be one of the few things to survive a nuclear apocalypse and for more on our potential six-legged post-apocalyptic overlords please check out our previous video could cockroaches really survive a nuclear war but is this really true can america's favorite snack really survive decades without decomposing well book yourself a diet cheat day prep your insulin unwrap your favorite sugary snack and let's dive right in the beloved twinkie first appeared on store shelves in the 1930s the brainchild of the continental baking company of schiller park illinois like many bakeries continental suffered from an annoying logistical problem the fluctuating seasonal availability of fruit particularly strawberries over a year once strawberries were no longer in season machines used to make pre-packaged strawberry shortcakes sat idly for months costing the company a valuable revenue stream to get around this problem the manager james dewar repurposed the machines to produce sponge cakes filled with banana cream hence why the twinkie itself has the shape and coloring it does in attempts to make it look a bit like a banana.
