Fresh off the airplane after a grueling trip from Korea, teenager Eun Seong confessed to one big objective for his monthlong trip to Snoqualmie.
“I want to eat a Twinkie,” he said during a reception at Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie, sister city of Seong’s hometown of Gangjin.

People still care about Twinkies?
The exchange program between sister cities Gangjin and Snoqualmie, Washington, has gotten a relatively good bit of press the past couple years. This month a Gangjin middle schooler's trip over winter break made the local paper, the SnoValley Star.

That's funny. I had one of those moments, too.
After several years of living here, I would get the weirdest cravings. Twinkies was one of them.
My mum called and asked what I wanted for my (upcoming) birthday. I told her sending cash was easiest, but could she PLEASE send a box of Twinkies, too.
M: (disbelieving) "Really??"
DB: "Yes. Serious craving. Serious."
Received the Twinkies two weeks later, ripped into the box and jammed one of them--whole--into my mouth. Eww. Craving officially satisfied, I spit out the disgusting mess and threw the remaining ones away. Eww.
OTOH, I still have my craving for a Drake's coffee cake and a Brio Chinotto to wash it down.
