What is the appeal of Twinkies?

Of all the Hostess snacks, they always seemed to be the most popular, but they never quite clicked with me. The main cake always seemed a bit too "tough" in texture.

    This is the most subjective thing ever

    Twinkies are sponge cake, which is a bit tougher than most cakes in general. Hostess cupcakes are flakier, and Little Debbie cakes are practically pure sugar.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    they taste pretty good and can be consumed easily without any preparation

    I haven't ever been super fond of twinkies, but they have decently tasty filling. 

    Normally I eat ~75% of the cake first and only leave enough to keep the filling from going everywhere, then have the last couple bites be almost all filling. 

    I haven't actually eaten a twinkie in years, however. 
  • You can dress them up like Minions and then eat them as a delicacy thanks to the power of edible stickers.
