Twinkie Horror!

It had to happen. Not to be outdone by those Glasgow fish-and-chip shops' deep-fried Mars Bars and Creme Eggs, now a fad for Deep Fried Twinkies is sweeping America.

The fact that a deep-fried Twinkie -- before toppings -- has roughly three times the calories and six times the fat of a regular one does not seem to bother customers such as Sue Holz.

"It's been years since I've had a Twinkie because they gross me out, but this is good. Real good," she said.

Does she know, I wonder, that Glasgow is the coronary capital of Europe? From Boing Boing.
