Daily Drop: Twinkies

[Kris015]

I wish we had Twnkies in Denmark.. Have never tasted them..

 

[Sonic Doctor]

Oh so that's what a twinkie is 0_o

It's some sort of.. cake/pastry thing with cream?

Nah, thats a crappy knock off that you buy if you cant/dont buy name brand (not that there's anyhting wrong with that).

It doesn't look like real food, it looks like a sponge you would use in a bath 0_o

That is why I they call that type of cake "sponge cake".

Ahhh, I was startled a wild crowbar appeared!

We need those warnings for crowbar, think about the children!

So...out of curiosity, what exactly is a twinkie and what does it taste like?

Have you ever tasted styrofoam?

Either you have some weird taste buds or the twinkie you ate was from a bad batch.

mmmm, styrofoam.
Really? Why do people eat it then? :S

See above answer to grimsprice's comment.

Twinkies are awesome, they are a delicious sponge cake with sweet cream filling.

Mmmm, now I have to go get a box of them.

 

[Vanbael]

Severely disappointing drop followed but SNEAK ATTACK CROWBAR!

 

[PayneTrayne]

Wow. The Escapist definitely does not know their LRRdom.

That wasn't Paul cracking up. It was Graham off-screen. I thought that was obvious!

Actually believe it may have been Alex as you see someone in a ball cap going through the motions off the laugh of to the right.

Though, either way I can safely say I know my LRRdom. Please, don't call me out on my nerdcred like that.

 

[Sun Flash]

Dude, 6 second rule. In slow motion. That's like 20 seconds.

If I was there, that Twinkie'd be wishing for the crow bar.

 

[AceAngel]

Ace: Twinkies...proof they won't survive a nuke...maybe a Zompocalypse.

Angel: There are people starving and you guys waste food! I hope you guys ate them afterwards...

Luigi: One got away Gram.

 

[Moffman]

enjoyed the quick crowbar action!

 

[Reed Spacer]

Kind of a given nothing was going to happen here.

They're Twinkies.

They could survive a nuclear war

Come on guys; try something that will actually, y'know, splat/crack/explode.

GIANT SNIP OF DOOM

But what I mean is that it doesn't look very.. edible.

Sponge cakes are like a nice Lemon Drizzle or Victoria Sponge, that looks like i'd use it to wipe off a stain on my car with. 0_o

Regardless, i'm sure it probably tastes good or something.

 

[Kei Kaemon]

Well crap now I wanna go get some of those little cakes :-/

 

[IMakeIce]

The laugh when the knockoffs hit the floor was awesome.

Also, surprise crowbar wins 1 internetz. His fury toward knockoffs could not be contained through a crowbar warning.

Edit: On those who wonder on Twinkie's taste, it's a processed ultra-moist dense cake with processed sweet cream filling...It's like getting hit in the face by the rich-food-bat. It'll overwhelm most people who eat well all the time and they won't like it. Most Americans don't eat well all the time, and it doesn't hit them as hard. They're not something I'd eat every day, but I do enjoy the occasional Twinkie.

You keep your ding-dongs and your ho-hos away from me though. Those are gross.

 

[dubious_wolf]

Y'all need to make a spin off series titled "the daily crowbar."
"Watch as the LRR team hit's stuff with a crowbar IN SUPER SLOW MOTION!!!"

 

[Tensen01]

See I prefer Zingers to Twinkies myself... I think it's the frosting.

Also, I suggest each of you try this... Go to the local convenience store and grab some nacho cheese and chocolate Zingers... Now combine!! Seriously, this is surprisingly delicious.

 

[Painstake]

new idea for a show:

daily shot.

every day, you shoot a new item and film it with a high speed camera

or at least do it once, i want to see if a fire extinguisher will actually explode when you shoot it

 

[AvsJoe]

I admit to missing the buildup for the crowbar, but if they want to get straight to the point, I don't have a problem. Crowbar is always awesome.

I do have a problem though. The most entertaining part of crowbar videos is the buildup. I love the sequence with Paul's sigh and point as well as James' "Crowbar is Ready" + Klaxon/Air Horn. I would much rather them stay in than be cut out.

 

[Magnus Darkly]

Was that Graham laughing in the background at the pathetic *flop* from the falling Twinkies/Zingers?

 

[MattAn24]

Wow. The Escapist definitely does not know their LRRdom.

That was Alex, but clearly, he turned around at the last second. Graham is often just off-screen using a computer, directing the whole shebang. Alex does not sound like Graham. LRRdom is awesome.

what the hell. where is my death point before the crowbar? it is literally my favorite part of this show, and why i come back on a day to day basis.
