February 21st - Twinkie: Unwrapped

And now, back by popular demand (see comments from yesterday's post), the Great Twinkie Experiment!
3 weeks and still going strong. It is showing almost no visual signs of giving up it's epic battle against microbes, spores, oxygen, moisture, and whatever else would cause a lesser food to decompose within mere days. This is one tough cookie ...er sponge or whatever it is. However it is a bit more solid than it was - You could play hockey with it now. Or if you played catch in the backyard and missed, it could break a window. See additional close ups here.

  2. I do see some changes in the color... a little red maybe? Could it be red mold? Thanks for keeping us entertained. Jan
