If you thought Hostess had already conceived every flavor on the planet for its Twinkies line, you’re right.
But that isn’t stopping them…
Hostess Moonberry Twinkies
What a resurgence for the f*cking Moon here in 2019. For my entire life up until this year, the only moon-related thing I ate were Moon Pies. Quite frankly, this was all the moon I needed. Suddenly I turn around and the moon has its own Oreo flavor, and Krispy Kreme is giving out free doughnuts for the moon and releasing cinematic moon-doughnut trailers to hype it up. Now we have Moonberry Twinkies?
Not too bad for a place we’ve probably never been to!
Just kidding; we have obviously been there. How else would we know that the moon tastes like berries and sponge cake?
Let that soak in, conspiracy theorists…
We must have been to the Moon because we know it tastes like Twinkies and berries.
According to a rep for the brand, the dark blue Twinkie cake is supposed to resemble the night sky, and the Moonberry-flavored filling is “smooth, sweet, and fruity.”
According to me, weird Twinkie isn’t awful.
The closest thing resembling a real berry on the ingredient list doesn’t exist, but I would say a mix between artificial blueberry and artificial strawberry is where this lands.
The color is downright disgusting; it looks like a dead, dying Twinkie. However the dark blue/gray cake possesses all the same lovable weirdness of the original. There’s no impact to the flavor at all.
I gotta be honest: it may look like an alien penis, but the combination of fruit-ish cream and decaying cake tastes better than first, second, or third glance would have you believe.
Burning Questions:
- Did we go to the moon? Probably not.
- But we might have? I doubt it.
- I didn’t think there was berries on the moon. There isn’t.
