Tips for Photographing Twinkies:

1) Don't use a flash. You might not realize it just by looking at a Twinkie under normal light, but they are actually really shiny. Once under the harsh light of a flash bulb, they look like a freshly greased bald man's head, except more spongy and with a crème filling.

2) Use real Twinkie brand Twinkies. While I don't think this helps the actual photographing any, it makes the aftermath more pleasant. I used some off-brand of snack cake, which comes in packs of three. THREE!!! If you thought two was too many Twinkies to a package, well, then you probably think three is too. I do. Anyhow, these off-brand atrocities look just like the real deal, but have even less to offer the culinary community. I ate the first one and then threw the other two out. It was not worth finding a suitable storage device. (The storage device would be more for keeping the Twinkie goo off the counter and the ants off the Twinkie goo than for keeping them "fresh.")

I feel this passage needs to be wrapped up. So, here it goes: The end.
