Picture the scene:
You just got done with an awful, awful day at work. Your boss chewed you out for something that wasn’t your fault. On your way home? Huge traffic jam. You finally make it home and step out of your car, right into a pile of dog shit. Things can’t get much worse.
But out of the corner of your eye, you spot something pure that makes you smile. A little boy and girl have set up a makeshift lemonade stand at the corner, just trying to earn a quick buck to pay for their Lunchables. You think back on your day and, yeah… you deserve this lemonade.
You walk up proudly, the smell of fresh dog shit still permeating your nostrils. “One lemonade, please.”
“Sorry, we’re all out. All we have left are Twinkies.”
If ever it was okay to punt a kid, this is the time…
Hostess Lemonade Stand Twinkies
Description via Hostess: Golden stone cake with lemon creamy filling.
Description via Junk Banter: The worst lemonade stand you’ve ever been to.
Hostess Lemonade Stand Twinkies debut about 9 years after the last Lemon Creme Twinkie. If the description is accurate of being just lemon instead of lemonade, then the only difference now is that the creme is pink.
I’m sure exactly zero people have been counting the days for these to return.
Look, there’s no more ways I can describe the Twinkie’s sponge cake without it just being downright bullying. You know it kinda sucks, but that’s part of its charm! Besides, you like garbage food every now and then. (Always… you always like garbage food.)
So how does it work with the lemon creamy filling? Well actually, it’s about as good as a Twinkie can offer. And that’s all you can really ask for.
If you’ve ever had the Hostess Lemon Cupcakes, these taste similar with the major difference being the absence of frosting. That means the Lemonade Stand Twinkies aren’t as sweet, but the lemon cream has a nice, vibrant flavor to it that is showcased nicely against the sponge cake. In the ultimate compliment I could ever give a Twinkie, I could eat more than one of these.
Perhaps I shouldn’t have punted that kid…
Burning Questions:
- Do you always think about punting children? Only when they deserve it!
- Do these taste like lemonade? Nope!
- Will you buy them again? Nope!
