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.

Picked up Twinkie on my way to Michigan. Looked like he needed to have a night out of the bottle.
