What is the shelf life of a twinkie?
I heard somewhere it was 20 years. What if it were 20 years and one day old, would you still eat it?
Answers: most likely over many years. like upwards of 10.
they are saturated in trans fat which lets solid food keep for virtually ever.
they are so bad for you. don't eat them. please... 4,000 years I believe twinkies are eternal... i head that when they opened king tuts tomb there were twinkies inside and they were still good prob like a month.
they are all individally prepackaged and have so many preservatives that Id say def at least a month. It may not taste as fresh if it went more than that...but who really knows how longs its even on the shelf in the store for ???? forever I wouldn't eat it, period. ever!
it's wrong for something to have such a long shelf life. The first batch hasn't died yet. they are supposed to last forever, I don't buy it. No, I would not eat one that is 20 years and 1 day old. they get stale a couple weeks after the expiration date printed on the package. According to "Our Generation" on the History Channel from 6/29, the shelf life of a twinkie is really unknown. Supposedly, they've opened twinkies that are older than twenty years old and they were okay.
To answer your question:
Yes, I'd eat it.......with some chocolate syrup. I read that one was dug up in a landfill that was from the 50's and it was fresh it is not 20 years, it is 18 years, and yes if you eat it one day after it expires, your stomach becomes filled with cardboard. its hard for me to know the answer to this question since i am a twinkie fanatic! if i had a 20 year old twinkie though i dont think id eat it. and my twinkies wouldnt last that long, they are like a lays i cant just eat one,and they dont have a very good self life here either, my family wont let them sit on the shelf very long In reality, Twinkies' shelf life is more like 25 days. I wouldnt eat it after the 26th day. Yes I would still eat it. It's only expired one day lmao Somewhere on the box, you should see the expiration date and no, I wouldn't dare eat a Twinkie that was twenty years old! I heard it was 1000 years. They have so many preservatives in them that bacteria can't get started. I wouldn't, but a cockroach would, particularly if it had some moisture left in it.
If you put it in the microwave for 30 seconds, it just might come back. I am not sure. Is there an expiration date on it? I had a teacher that nailed a twinkie to the wall on the first day of school and ate it on the last day of school. He was fine and told us the next year that nothing happened. Way too many preservatives to be good for you. Twinkies are chock full of preservatives and will last forever... and I've eaten enough of them that I will never die... lmao twinkies last forever o_o
i don't think they ever go bad!
so yea, i'd still eat it =D 57 years. Anything that lasts that long and is supposed to be food, can't be healthy! it lasts FOREVER. Twinkies never ever go bad. They last longer than the plastic they're wrapped in.
