i would almost be willing to bet that you could find twinkies in a military base that has an american contingent like
RAF Lakenheath, Brandon, Suffolk
RAF Menwith Hill, Yorkshire Dales
RAF Mildenhall, Mildenhall
RAF Croughton, Upper Heyford
RAF Alconbury, Cambridgeshire

where we go... our junk foods follow.
 
i found a uk based site called american sweets.co.uk but its prices are rediculas..
 
yeah. expensive i suppose, but think of the bragging rights!
 
what bragging rights???????

"ere mate, i payed a fiver for a twinky"

or "yeah, i ate a twinkie"

the answers to my braggs would be

"haha, dumb ass"

and

"so what? "
 
How many you want?
 
moderate bragging rights -when you're the only person you know who's had them.
 
i want loads rick. from what ive heard and read, theyre someting im gonna like.

mmmmm food.....(rubs tummy)

though just the one would do so i can taste it and see.
 
what about a CurlyWurly... would that do?
X
 
lol, no sweetheart im afraid not. i can get curly wurlys at the corner shop. and i had a prolonged period of addiction to them when i was a kid.

just want a twinkie.... ive never had a twinkie..
 
I hear that there is no Captan Crunch either! Have a friend in Bristol that we ship to.
 
nope, no captain crunch, no jolly ranchers, no supersize mc donalds meals and although we can get cookie dough, i only know of one place that sells it. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cookie dough......
 
I miss Lucky Charms..
 
so this entire thread has cost me - a couple dollars for a box, probably a pound on the scale, and an argument over who got the last twinkie in the box. she won of course.


can't...resist...



somebody get the man a twinkie!
 
I miss Lucky Charms..

OMG i fooking loved lucky charms.....a leprachaun on the box and little marshmallow stars in the cereal. did you ever sit with the box and pick oout all the marshmallows to annoy your sisters? i did...BRING BACK LUCKY CHARMS

oh man does anyone remember Bananna Bubbles??????

those were the best ever along with lucky charms.

and yeah, get me a twinkie! i really, really, really, want to try a twinkie now..
 
Twinkies, Hostes Lemon Pies, Captain Cruch, Jolly Ranchers, Cracker Jack, Fiddle Faddle, Now & Laters, Gummty Worms, All that good stuff LOL
 
we used to get jolly ranchers, but only the little square ones. watermellon was my favourite flavor. not seen them now for about 15 year here in the U.K.
 
I'd send you some however I know for a fact these would never make it out of customs.
 
Twinkies... Tried 'em... Never saw what all the fuss was about...

Now Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - That's a whole new level ;-)



Then there's the Peanut Butter M&M's... Man they're good. Whenever Anyone goes on holiday to the US I get them to bring me back a few bags - Big Bags!!!!

Also your normal M&M's are milk chocolate whereas ours are plain. In Scandinavia I remember getting almond M&M's a few years ago, maybe even Hazlenut...

Cheers,

Roy

Maybe if you contact them, they will send you a comp pack or something.
