NEW YORK (AP) — Twinkies are making an early comeback at Wal-Mart stores, and they won't be frozen beforehand.
The world's largest retailer says it is selling the snack cakes at about 1,600 stores starting Friday and that about 3,000 of its 4,000 U.S. stores should have them by Sunday morning, a day before Hostess had said the spongy yellow cakes would start hitting shelves nationwide.
By late next week, stores will also have Hostess Mini Muffins and fried Fruit Pies, said Wal-Mart spokeswoman Veronica Marshall. Coffee Cakes, Ho Hos, Orange CupCakes, Suzy Qs and Zingers will be available by August.
Sno-Balls will arrive in the fall.

Maybe they are made with real snow and have to wait till it gets colder?
maybe so, I never thought of that.

He'd better hope not. They extended the shelf life of a twinkie from 26 days to 45 days by injecting them with doses of cyanide and chlorine gasses. If TM can smell 'em, he's a goner...
It was in Natick, at the Wonder Bread factory. I don't get down there much so I'm not sure. But you're right the fresh baking aroma would spill out into the neighborhood and you could smell it driving by.

"Arnold declined to say what changes were made to extend the shelf life, saying that it is proprietary information."

ZitatThe New York Post also reported last week that Hostess will start freezing some of its cakes to extend their shelf life. That means that Twinkies would be delivered to stores frozen so retailers can stamp their own expiration dates on the cakes.
Kind of like, my hard boiled eggs prepackaged that last forever !!

I don't know. Could be I am telling the truth, could be a straight up lie. Are you willing to gamble with your life to find out?
I think it's a gas they inject into the packaging, my guess is Nitrogen.
"Manufacturers often use a Nitrogen gas purge to displace oxygen from the package before sealing it closed. Oxygen needs to be eliminated during packaging because prolonged exposure to the food will affect it’s texture, taste, and freshness. The presence of oxygen introduces moisture which can deteriorate the food quality." http://www.smartsysteminnovations.com/?p=108
