Exposed - Vegan Twinkie Changes World

A Girl Named Guy - Twinkie Deconstructed

Will the world ever be the same again - as a girl named Guy get's down and dirty with twinkies of all shapes and sizes and puts twinkie munching under the microscope. She exposes the world of twinkie eating and exposes the twinkie fetishists. Top votes went to the organic gourmet twinkie and the vegan twinkie. Least ingredients award went to the vegan Twinkie.

She even finds a Twinkie Virgin (a Brit!) as Steve Ettlinger, author launches his new book, Twinkie, Deconstructed.
