10/29/2004 Entry: "Shrek Twinkies with Green Filling?"

Here's the late entry for Thursday. I'd debated whether this really belonged on the Halloween Countdown or not, but I'll always associate it with this special time of year, so here ya go: Hostess Twinkies now come with "Ogre Green" Shrek creamy middles. Fate, I tell you. Amazing how, even with the many thousand Shrek-related food promotions covered on the site, this late entrant seems to be the absolute best. After Halloween I'll show ya some of the other weird Shrek items on sale recently, if I remember that they're in the freezer buried under unfilled ice cube trays.

Anyone know anything more on the possible demise of the Twinkie forever? Hostess is suffering under the stupid Atkens craze that demonizes every single thing I like to eat. There have been rumors that the Twinkie will be out of production soon.

I got these the other day, and my immediate thought was that they were the perfect item to be reviewed on this site. In person, the filling looks a little less radioactive, and a little more rancid. But heck, the oddity of it all made me eat several in a day, and take my own picture of them for posterity.

I'm wanting black Twinkies with black filling. 'Cause that would be truly scary. But, as anyone 'round these parts know, ChocoDiles rule all!

first thing that came to mind was guacamole! Those look incredibly worse than the originals and for that i give them 10 points!

I don't know...I think I still prefer the Pringels easter edition...purple chips beat green filling 6 out of the 7 days of the week. The other it's simply a tie...

Awesome. Good job Matt.
You should do a article about spider rings. They come every Halloween they're immortal.
They're the symbol of Halloween.

That green stuff looks gross

I'm on Frostor's side. I took one look at these, one of the few Shrek items Matt's discussed to have found their way down here in Southern New Jersey, and I thought "These have 'Matt' written all over them." Matt and "Green."

I'm not a Twinkies fan, and really they're the last thing I need to be eating...but, maybe, I'll give them a try. We may never see this again...literally, if Hostess really is having problems.

'Member when food companies used to make up their own names for snack treats, instead of relying on movies and TV shows? My favorite is the now-extinct Sharkleberry Fin Kool-Aid. (Sigh.)

In other news, I have never eaten a Twinkie in my life, and I'm not starting with these. Now, if TASTYKAKE made a green-filled sugary wonder, I might have to investigate that phenomenon. Hostess is anathema.

Matt, I'm so amused by you. I've told about a jillion people to come over and look...hope they have! Keep up the good work!

That green makes those Twinkies perfect for the Twinkie Sushi recipe!!! http://www.twinkies.com/recipebox/index.asp?cmd=view&id=84

I wish I had Twinkies in Korea....

You think that's bad? Have you seen the new, "Queezy Bake Oven"?
I swear to god this wasn't a dream, as I stood waiting for my friend to pick out her costume at Zellers, I noticed this disgusting product. It actually said this on the package, are you ready? "Delicious beverage that tastes like boogers and snots." God I hope it's a halloween only thing!

I can't believe how disgusting those look! I need some... LOL

I have only had Twinkies once in my life.
I prefer those Little Debbie Swiss Rolls of Death.

Cyanyde-

Nope, QBO has been around for over a year now. Its your basic EBO with a nearly everything you make being green in some way.

Some of the foods are like colour changing pop rocks "gravel", Dog bone shaped sugar cookies in foaming sour "drool", Make your own gummy worms, Mud and candy bugs pudding and Snot(Green edable slime)iceing

Yeah, Queasy Bake Oven was on i-Mockery once. I can't imagine anything being cooked under a light bulb tasting good.

Hey, I've been eating these all week. I thought of this site too. Why do these seem to taste much better than regular twinkies?
