Banana Creme Filled Twinkies

Hostess Twinkies will once again be filled with smooth banana-Creme, the original flavor of the iconic snack cake created 76 years ago this April, but only for a limited time.

In connection with the DVD release of King Kong, Hostess is introducing limited-edition Banana Creme-Filled Twinkies, available in over 30,000 retail locations nationwide beginning March 23, 2006.

This banana-themed promotion is a nostalgic nod to the classic treat, which was made with banana Creme filling until a World War II banana shortage prompted Twinkie bakers to switch to vanilla Creme.
