While commonly hailed as the top-selling treat from Hostess, Twinkies were originally invented on April 6, 1930 by baker James Alexander Dewar. The dish was initially created for the Continental Baking Company, combining a rich sponge cake with a banana cream filling.
As a result, vanilla became the new standard for the golden snack cakes, with different variations of the treat incorporating chocolate and various other fruit flavors over the past several decades.
While Twinkies have become universally beloved among international consumers today, the treat wasn't always the worldwide delight it's become today. In the 1980s, the hit blockbuster Ghostbusters helped spread awareness of the treat among global audiences, due to a key scene referencing "a big Twinkie" as an analogy for the rapid build-up of psychokinetic energy.
In addition to its references in numerous movies and TV shows over the years, the treat has also formed the basis for an unlikely legal defense known as the "the Twinkie defense." The term specifically originates from the criminal trial of Dan White, who attributed his murder to depression excaberated by junk food like Twinkies.
