This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What era or genre are you getting the pop culture from? Twinkies at least have only been a joke in media for at least 15 years because of zombie survival stuff, and longer as a 'haha look at the fat kid' before that. Die Hard uses them as a comedic element to break up parts of the film but in less of a joking about Twinkies directly way, though it is part of the overweight cop's character. That movie is nearly 40 years old though and probably marks around the time Twinkies started shifting from a snack to a meme
Edit to add: They also originally had banana flavored filling. You can still find these sometimes and while not good they're better than the plain ones imo
Oh yeah it's been a while since I did that, probably 2010s? Just haven't had the urge to try again since.
Really? Banana does sound tastier
