(scroll down to see the ingredients) Perhaps you are referring to a Tastykake from a bygone era?

It is true. The shelf life of those Tastykakes is three weeks. A Twinkie's is six. The shelf life of a Tastykake pie is seven days. They haven't changed much or at all since I was a kid. Have you tried a Tastykake (and a Twinkie)? The difference is obvious if you can spare the calories.

  I have tried almost all of the Tastykakes that I could purchase here on the east coast. They seem quite average in terms of quality. While I have never eaten a Twinkie and Tastykake side by side I do concede that Twinkies these days are a bottom of the barrel level of quality and TastyKakes are at least a small level above. I'm just looking at that ingredient list and it seems quite processed.

    I think you misinterpreted my original comment, but I applaud your diligence in sampling the entire Tastykake product line. The pies are my favorite, though I rarely eat them as I value my health. I would not touch a Twinkie unless I were starving, or perhaps as part of a paid stunt if the money was right.

      Understood. I do enjoy the coconut juniors Tastykake but I am focused on cutting out all processed and unnatural ingredients so I am forced to produce more at home. Its just the world I feel we are stuck in now. Regarding Twinkie, did you see my other comment on producing them at home using natural ingredients? https://youtu.be/lD2OOTx2G9k?t=592 https://youtu.be/lD2OOTx2G9k?t=592 You may be able to hopefully recreate the original quality using this(if this is something you'd like to try).
