Here Are The 37 Ingredients That Make a Twinkie

It takes 37 ingredients to make a Twinkie and keep it alive forever, which have all been photographed and labeled by Artist Dwight Eschliman. After the Twinkie Apocalypse, some tried to evade the severity of the situation by proclaiming that we still know how to make a homemade Twinkie. The Twinkie is saved, they assured. But their efforts were fruitless, because  the 37 ingredients of a Hostess Twinkie don’t exist inside our kitchen cupboard. We don’t have sodium caseinate (although, maybe you should because it’s good for making paint and glue) or Corn dextrin, which helps to enhance the crispness and make that distinct Hostess glaze , among others.

In fact, you don’t have any of the “E number” components, a code that groups all of the food additives together. Thus, we’ll have to settle for second-class Twinkies made from ingredients we can actually pronounce while we gaze at Dwight’s marvelous Twinkie homage.
