National Twinkie Day is a joyous occasion where fans of the iconic treat come together to pay tribute to the beloved snack that has been a staple in American snack culture for generations.
The origins of the Twinkie can be traced back to the 1930s when a baker named James Dewar created the first Twinkie at the Continental Baking Company.
