About This Item

The Kid and His Twinkie

Read the following article about a real test done on the "purported durability and unusual physical characteristics of Twinkies."

The Kid's Twinkie Test is Geocaching's version of this "purported durability" of Twinkies. The twinkie inside needs to be subjected to geocache travel: mountains, lowlands, highlands, flood plains, dry heat, torrential downpours, scorching temperatures, Amazon jungles, deserts, foreign lands - you name it. Feel free to photograph drastic conditions. We'll see if it survives to journey's end.

IN YOUR LOG please include Twinkie recipes, little-known facts, and personal experiences about Twinkies.

Found the twinkie and hope to take it to a new home ASAP. Probably not tomorrow though because my friend has a graduation party that I'm going to pretty much all day.

Retrieved before the tomb was permanently sealed. Twinkie the Kid will make his journey somewhere else soon.

Have fun little twinkie. I thought it might be interesting to see a twinkie get entombed for awhile. Good thing Jesus is not hungry.

Grabbed this little guy at a nice cache in Duluth Mn. I thought it was weird seeing a twinkie in a cache. The only time I heard of one being in a cache before was 'Wheres Ruth' cache in Bayfield WI. Well looking through the logs this is that TB. Going on a cache adventure next weekend to central WI. Taking Twinkie with. So he'll be moving again soon.

We felt Twinkie had been hibernating long enough. We will send him on his way!

Found this twinkie to much of a temptation to leave behind. Heading back to Minnesota with him, but he may end up elsewhere. I'll try and find a animal safe container for his next stop.
