AHEM...Twinkies do NOT have chocolate in, on or near them. The poster who said anything to the contrary is a dangerous subversive, probably of foreign extraction, and should be closely monitored.
Twinkies are one of several products of the "Hostess Baking Company" founded in Chicago in the midst of the Great Depression, but now exporting empty calories throughout the world (if you listen to that link, you'll understand. But he's wacked about Twinkies.) For Hostess Chocolate, think Ding Dongs or Ho Hos...or god help Me those horrific cupcakes (which did you know if you can remove the frosting entirely it indicates that you are a virgin (sorry.....7th grade flashback there)).
The best use of Twinkies I know is to teach better oral sex skills by getting the "cream" filling out using only one's tongue, but not damaging the surrounding plasticy yellow sponge cake. Apparently, some people who's arteries are genetically stainless steel have found other uses for Twinkies like a wedding cake.
If you want a real American snack treat, try a moon pie instead. There is probably no more iconic snack food in the Southern USA. If you are in or near Pennsylvania, you will only eat an odd little snack called a TastyKake (yes, that's how they are spelled). I don't get it, but friends who grew up in, or went to college in, Philadelphia can be lured off any path and made to do any thing with a TastyKake.
And finally, to the Aussie lass who made fun of "weird American foods" I say only one word to you: Vegemite.

Edited to add some COLOR to the food!
