Calling Twinkies the "best darn tootin" idea he ever had, James A. Dewar created cre-ated the beloved treat in 1930, while working as a Hostess bakery bak-ery manager in Chicago. Looking to make better use of shortcake pans that sat idle except for a short strawberry season, Dewar decided to inject the little golden cakes with a smooth creme filling (first banana and later vanilla following fol-lowing a banana shortage during dur-ing World War H). A St Louis billboard advertising "Twinkle Toe" shoes inspired the name for the two-for-a-nickel treat and an American icon was born. More than just a top selling snack cake, the Twinkle has emerged as a social phenomenon phenom-enon with a treasure trove of amazing tales that underscore its astonishing impact on our culture. |
