"banana-creme" news and stories

Fans of limited-edition banana-creme Twinkies rejoice! Hostess resumed selling the lightly banana-flavored treats last week and plans to keep them around.

Banana creme was the original filling of the sugar-laden sponge cake when it was first introduced in 1930. A banana shortage forced Hostess to switch to vanilla creme in the 1940s. Since then Hostess has brought back banana Twinkies, but only for limited periods of time. Most recently the fruity treats hit the shelves to promote the film King Kong. Thanks to a 20 percent spike in total Twinkie sales during the promotion Hostess decided to permanently add the flavor to its lineup. I'd like to know what these puppies would taste like wrapped in bacon and then dropped in a deep fryer.
