== Trivia ==

* Twinkie’s reputation for longevity is legendary. An urban myth suggests that his snack cake form could last for decades, even surviving a nuclear apocalypse. This myth gained further traction in the 2009 film ''Zombieland'', where Woody Harrelson’s character embarks on a desperate quest for the last Twinkie on Earth.
* In 1999, the Twinkie was honored as an enduring American icon when President Bill Clinton and the White House Millennium Council selected it to be preserved in the nation’s millennium time capsule. The recognition solidified its place in American pop culture history.
* In recent years, Twinkie the Kid faced criticism from health-conscious audiences, with detractors pointing out the mascot's attempts to stay relevant by embracing trends such as deep-frying himself to appeal to fans' increasingly indulgent cravings. Despite the criticism, Twinkie the Kid remains a symbol of nostalgia and indulgent delight for many.
