Dear Bird,
First off, the ones that are made fun of are produced by a company called Hostess, which has a monopoly on this celebrated form of American junk food

Let's see..how do I translate?....A BAP...filled with whipped
cream...might suffice..It's ..no wait! I KNOW you have muffins because of
"Oh do you know the muffin man
the muffin man the muffin man
Oh do you know the muffin man
Who lives on Drury Lane?
Oh yes I know...etc..."
A cupcake is EXACTLY like a muffin filled with whipped cream........whereas...
A Twinkie...is a cake-like dessert shaped very much like a hot
dog...um..wiener...no..a frankfurter...Ahh!...A Banger! Yes, shaped like that..and also filled with a white creamy goo.(This is starting to sound racy.)
They come two in a package, and have an excess of sugar and preservatives.
A guy in San Francisco murdered someone and
complained to the jury that he had eaten "too many twinkies'
and committed his crime in a sugar-addled haze. Surprisingly, the jury sympathized and let him off with a light sentence. This case was widely known through Western Culture as "The Twinkie Defense". Later, the guy (Dan White) committed suicide.
Again, I suspect..too many twinkies!
Twinkies are often derided and mocked for their long
shelf life..which, by your measurements could add up to "tens of fortnights." I hope this thoroughly acquaints you with Twinkies. If you eat them at the same time you have a White Castle burger, God help you!
