I'm afraid that's only effective if it's were-twinkie. Otherwise you just end up with a messy stake.  Oh wait, you said steak... hmmm *imagines* *shudders*

 Were-things you need to shoot with a silver bullet, stakes are for Vampires. It would have to be a vampiric twinkie.

*smacks forehead* Of course. How could I have mixed those up. What would happen if a were-wolf bit a vampire, or vice versa? I guess that's a question for another thread.
Oh! I wonder if one could cause the demise of either by means of a twinkie. Drive a twinkie through the heart of a vampire... shoot a silver twinkie into the heart of a were-wolf... And if it doesn't work, at least you've found another way to destroy a twinkie.

Acid! And creepy henchmen who take over the factory and change the assembley line so all the twinkies fall in the acid.

Actually, I have it on good authority from people in the AP Physics class my senior year, that acid does not work. Twinkies just soak it up.

The Joys of Blasting Twinkies
Perhaps it was vanilla,
that sprayed from wall to wall,
the fragrance-filled explosion,
that could explain it all,
why I could take a package
aim phasers, set on stun,
then watch the wee projectiles,
blow up and not leave one.
It seems a healthy outlet,
like boxing in a ring.
What joys from blasting twinkies!
I need no other thing.
Wait...there's one getting away!

Twinkies...Twinkies on a C.S. Lewis fan site....Twinkies and C.S. Lewis...Twinkes and Narnia...
GOT IT!!!!!!
Since Jadis and Uncle Andrew were both adversely affected by the Wood Between The Worlds, one must conclude that evil is oppressed and afflicted in that place. And since Jadis, who was clearly more powerful, actually suffered more than Andrew, it seems that the the more evil you are, or at leat the more evil power you possess, the more horribly you are affected by The Wood.
Now, since a Twinkie is certainly one of the most evil creations ever made by The Sons of Adam, and since they clearly contain a great deal of evil power (have you
read
the ingredients?), getting them into the Wood Between The Worlds would cause one to simply shrivel up and disolve into nothing!
It doesn't suprise me that acid won't destroy a twinkie. I mean, your stomach uses hydrochloric acid as one of it's main digestive juices, and the last time I ate one, it sure didn't feel like it was digesting very well. I don't think the acid phazed it. Eventually the sugar dissolving enzymes kicked in, and I immediately felt sick. Next time, I'll pick the choclate covered worms.
But still, no one has explored what would happen to a twinkie if it came into
Narnia
. Would it be physically improved, as Narnia seems to do to Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve? Or is it more like the lampost arm? Will it simply become more of what it already is?
If you brought it in with Digory and Polly at the beginning, no doubt you could grow a Twinkie tree, but who would WANT to? (BTW: I really don't like the things. Have you noticed?) If you had brought it in with Lucy the first time, what would Mr. Tumnus have thought of it? I can't imagine it could have compared with the delightful fare he served Lucy that day. Poor faun. I hope he'd have to good sense not to eat it.
But in Narnia, we could test whether a twinkie really would kill a werewolf. I expect that it would. You see, in Narnia, a good, old fashioined sword was more than sufficient to kill a werewolf when Peter, Edmund, Trumpkin, and Caspian encountered one in Aslan's How. So, all this stuff about silver bullets and the like is likely just propoganda put out by the werewolves themselves for intimidation purposes.
Now, if a sword can do it, could a powerful enough POISON do it? Well, since poisons are essentially chemicals that either destroy or disrupt the body's funcitons, they can do just as much damage as a sword plunging through your heart. So, I would think a sufficiently powerful poison would likely kill a werewolf. The question is, does a twinkie have that kind of toxicity?
This is hard to say. Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve in our world are accustumed to eating poisons. Our diets are full of them. Right now I am drinking Pepsi One. It has caffine, a list of artificial sweetners, some sort of acid, and who knows what is included under "artificial flavors". It's POISON, I tell you, POISON!!!
I'm betting that if a human from the 1500's tried to eat our diet for a DAY, he would keel over dead as a rock! And twinkies are everything that is bad about modern diets rolled up and compressed into a spongy tube! I think if you fed a werewolf enough twinkies at one time, his heart would explode from his chest, his brain would fry, and his bowels would sizzle like they were on fire. He's used to nice, fresh meat, you see. Like the Martians in War of The Worlds, he simply has no immunity to a twinkie.
Of course, I have no IDEA how you'll get him to eat the hideous thing. I mean, even werewolves have their standards.
As far as vampires and Frankenstien monsters, I don't see these in Narnia, and we know they can't exist in our world, so it's hard to comment on them.
Using Hydrogen Peroxide, however, may be a good start to converting it into some sort of fuel. Stuffing one in your gas tank has a less than positive results. But as my earlier posts suggest, if you could just harness the energy stored in that thing, the power you would posses would be great indeed.
If The White Witch had gotten hold of a Twinkie, could SHE have managed to harness it's power? Could she have simply blown Peter's army off the battlefield with one mighty explosion? Could her evil magic combined with the vile science of the twinkie have proved unstoppable?
Perhaps that is why Aslan simply doesn't ever allow the things to come into Narnia. The food in Narnia seems to be entirely organic. Maybe that's why everyone stays so healthy.

I am bored. Do you know what happens to Ed, when she is bored? She goes around posting in old awesome threads
Throw package of twinkies on a New York City sidewalk during rush hour.
The little sucker won't live to be stale 
Strap it down and force it to watch Saw.....
It will explode from shock 
Throw the twinkie in the backseat of a car that I am driving.......'nuff said.
It will suffer tremendous stress from overwhelming causes. If the twinkie survives, it will never be the same, and go on to live a more decent solemn life.

If you can manage to get a twinkie to Malacandra, I am certain the Oyarsa of Malacandra will recognize it as pure evil and, in order to protect the innocent inhabitants of that world, will proceed to "unmake" the twinkie.
(If none of that makes sense to you, then you need to read C.S. Lewis' classic novel, "Out of The Silent Planet".)

E2, that was my point. Twinkies are very difficult to destroy. Sitting on a shelf for 700 years doesn't do it.
Arch, that is an idea!

Thanks, Willow. But it just occurred to me that Malacandra (which is the name of the Oyarsa as well as the name of the world) would know who brought the vile, disgusting confection to his world, and might take ... um ... measures to make sure you never did so again.

No mortal means, I'm afraid, can destroy a twinkie. Only recently I found this S.L. Clewless's famous work "Prince Confectian"
Quote:
"Stop, stop, stop," said Doctor Cornylius. "You go on too fast. The Twinkie is dead. All the stories agree on that. What does Nakibrak mean by calling on the Twinkie?"
That grey and terrible voice which had spoken only once before said, "Oh, is it?"
And then the shrill, whining voice began, "Oh, bless his heart, his dear little Majesty needn't mind about the Yellow Lady - that's what we call her - being dead. The Worshipful Master Doctor is only making game of a poor old woman like me when he says that. Sweet Mastery Doctor, learned Master Doctor, who ever heard of a twinkie that really died? You can always get them back."

Cadbury Chocolate is sold here in the U.S, but mostly around Easter.
Peeps, to me, taste like hyper-concetrated marshmellows. Ick.
Twinkies are elongated yellow sponge cakes filled with a sugary cream. Way too sweet for me.

I don't mind the occasional Twinkie, but I'm sure more than a few a year could do in a person if they're not careful!
Random Peep fact--my eighth grade math teacher was famous for having candy that was too old; once he gave out marshmallow Peeps for correct answers on a pop quiz, and they were hard as rocks. My friend slammed hers down on the desk and it didn't even dent.
Cadbury chocolate...is that usually in the form of an Easter egg? Why can I not picture it? Hmm...

The standard answer is "He died in the flood". But we can't really deduce that from the scriptures. All we can really deduce is that he died in the same
year
as the flood. The question becomes, did he die in the flood, because he was unrighteous, or did God hold off the flood for 120 years (Genesis 6:3) knowing the time of Methuselah's death because he was, in fact, a righteous man.
Remember, Methuselah's father was Enoch, a man so righteous he never
actually
died, but was essentially raptured. And Methuselah was the father of Lamech, who was the father of Noah.
There seems to be to be an unbroken line of rigtheous fathers passing down to their sons the Fear Of The LORD. So, I really don't believe that Methuselah died in the flood, for only the wicked did so, but merely that he died in the
same year
as the flood.

There's a "standard answer"?? I feel so foolish. 
Actually, Arch, your answer (which I've never heard before) makes a lot of sense.
Unless he was cleaning his brand-new laser cannon and it went off.
Or maybe an experiment went horribly awry. Can you imagine archaeologists discovering a charred andshattered skeleton surrounded by intact Twinkies?

In case you guys didn't read the link above (pardon the double post), but I think the best hope of destroying a twinkie ... even if it takes the rest of th e solar system with it ... is spelled out in three words:
"Large Hadron Collider".

Perhaps twinkies could be used to plug up the leaking oil well in the gulf? Of course, the twinkies could pose an even greater environmental problem than the oil itself.

Speaking of Eve and/or Methuselah using a laser cannon to destroy a Twinkie, I wonder if
the Navy's new laser cannon
could do it?
