If it feels like a Twinkie, smells like a Twinkie and tastes like a Twinkie, but has fewer calories, is it really a Twinkie?
Yes, that golden yellow, creme-filled cake is a Twinkie.
Hitting store shelves today is "Twinkie Bites," a move by Hostess to extend its 100-calorie pack of snacks originally aimed at women who wanted to snack more sensibly.
Here are some Twinkie facts:
500 million Twinkies are sold every year.
The original Twinkie has 150 calories.
Twinkie Bites will have three, miniature round versions because Hostess thinks people enjoy having multiple bites rather than just the one product.
