1930 Twinkies come on the scene!
Twinkies were invented by James Alexander Dewar, a baker for the Continental Baking Company.Twinkies were born when Dewar realizing that several machines used to make cream-filled strawberry shortcake sat idle when strawberries were out of season. He decided to fill a snack cake with banana cream, and dubbed it the" Twinkie", after seeing a billboard in St. Louis for "Twinkle Toe Shoes". During World War II, bananas were rationed and the company was forced to switch to vanilla cream.
