Sorry brian, clearly you are right and the immense sugar rush was a figment of my fevered imagination… when I thought it was the sugar.

18g of sugar in a Twinkie, so about the same as half a can of Coke, or two of those little Haribo packs Superstar used to done out (do they still?). Not exactly ridiculous, is it now? Still, if you’re sensitive to it then i can understand the hyperbole..
