How many ways can you think of to destroy a twinkie?
Well, these guys had some interesting ideas . . .
http://www.twinkiesproject.com/
My high school physics teacher also holds every year what he calls the "Twinkie Lab"
And I thought you guys might be amused by it, and might be able to come up with some experiments of your own, and share with us the results.

Or one might take it out to the back yard and douse it in lighter fluid, put it on the grill and solemnly watch it burn, burn, burn, while thinking some deep allegorical thought - I guess the allegorical thought would be optional, though.

Of course! G.R.O.S.T. !!!!!
And for those of you who like twinkies, you could start a counter club, and call it G.R.O.S.T. out!

I have a brrrrrrrrilliant plan! we could have counter counter counter clubs...the possibilities are endless! THink of it, someone would be so busy saying G.R.O.S.T. out out out out out out ect. they would'nt have time to think about twinkies and we can skip the cover story and get onto the real plan...taking over the world!!!! Covered in our twinkie suits we would be indestructable, (at least we couldn't get electrocuted) no one could stand in our way!! muhahahaha!
Or we could take the safe route and just not like twinkies.

Twinkies, huh? I'm not "predjiduce" to them or anything, but I have some ideas on how to demolish/torture one!
First, you should take it out of it's wrapper.
Next, you should take the twinkie and cut it's head off (pick whichever end you like!)
Then you take a grapefruit spoon and take out all the cream.
Then you stuff it with ketchup and raisins! 
Next, you roll it around in lemon juice (i have no idea why, just do it!)
Then, you take the raisen/ketchup-stuffed-lemonjuice-coated-twinkie and dip it in a nice cup of mint flavored hot chocolate.
Then throw it in a fire and watch it burn to smithereans!
(i know i didn't spell that right!)
I'm so evil!!!

I guess you could put one underneath a rocket and see if the twinkie doesn't make the rocket go up another 30,000 ft. or so... could be the rocketfuel of the future...
But I'm more inclined to eat them...especially if they're fresh... *drool* *ducks flaming twinkies*
Edit: Who knows? Maybe the inventor of Warp Drive (Zephram Cochran) originally used twinkies to achieve it? That's why the Vulcans were so impressed...that such a small compact object could create a Warp engine...

I can just imagine a vulcan taking a twinkie, the fuel of the future, and likcing the cream off his fingers, "fascinating."

I love it! This is just the type of thing my Physics professor would have condoned had I thought to do something like this! Dr. Emmons had a similar sense of humor! And he would have LOVED destroying Twinkies. The only unhealthy thing I've ever seen him consume is Mountain Dew.

I had no idea they had internet sites like these out there!  First the twinkie and now the peep! Ha!
I think peeps are adorable.  However, they aren't so good for the eats. I used to absolutly hate them, but now I "respectfully decline" when one is offered me.

Oh, I have to say, peeps are so nasty. It gets kind of confusing though, when I use that word, because I use it as an abbreviated form of 'people', so when I say 'I hate peeps', some peeps get upset.

Destroy a twinkie?
Oh, what fun!
All that icing
made for one.
All that sweetness,
loads and loads.
Please stand back
as it explodes!
Blast a twinkie?
Only that?
Grimly tease,
like mouse
with cat?
Tantalize
then watch it burn!
Please oh, please!
My turn! My turn!
Sad to say
the twinkie's fate
is as pastry
on my plate.
Mastication
(meaning "chew")
is the noble
thing to do!
Yet I shall
obliterate
any twinkie
small or great!
Parm...
the Twinkie Terror!

Willow you have made a mistake in making this post. Because I found it
Anyway here is a nasty list that I hove compiled. Smash twinky with sledgehammer, run over it with a car (preferably your friends), sit on it, step on it, EAT IT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, put half a dozen of them on your friends car on a hot day... the possibilities are endless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Twinkies, don't care for Peeps. I suppose to destroy them both, you could soak them in water until they disolve as water is as deadly to them as acid is to us. Eeek!

Feed it to my cat, she eats anything (including my mother's carrots). Death to the Twinkie! Evil! Evil! Must kill!!!!!
Peeps! Eekk! *whimpers and hides under computar desk* Too strong..., their powers are much deeper than mine. Hide, before they over come you with sugar!
I really don't like twinkies (evil) it is hard to believe I used to eat them when I was very little and peeps (vile) I liked getting as a gift, because they were cute, but never to eat (yuck)!

I am no wit malicious
against things malnutritious;
if they are good to eat
why must they all compete?
If chocolate is grand,
then eat it hand in hand
with carrots, beans, or peas,
for all cuisine should please.
Thus Twinkies need to be
a health necessity.
Thus saith Parm,

Hehehe
So I was thinking in the shower this morning, what would happen if you cut a twinkie in half, scooped out the filling (you could eat it, or discard it, but leave a little in a dish), then took a peep, and cut it into little pieces... Then you could fill the hollow twinkie with pieces of peep, but not so tightly that you'd not be able to get the other half back on. Then you take the little bit of cream filling, and use it to mortar the halves of the twinkie back together (with the peep pieces inside). Then of course, put it in the microwave. You know how marshmallows expand?
Someone else will have to try this though, because I don't have a microwave.

Bio-fuel
When I think about how much SUGAR is in a twinkie...it boggles the mind. Those "calories" are a unit of measure for measuring ENERGY output. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a dietary calorie is actually equal to 100 physics calories, or maybe it's 1000. I don't have time to look it up right now.
Anyway, think about how much ENERGY is stored in that twinkie! All that sugar and carbs is how the various plants stored all that solar energy thoses leaves were gathering up, and there it all sits, just waiting to be utilized.
So, I'm thinking we need to find a way to build a Twinkie Stove (you can already buy a corn stove), or find a way to run a car on twinkies! It would have to be illegal in NASCAR of course! The speeds you could reach would just be too dangerous. Maybe with some new restrictor plate it might work.
DESTROY a twinkie? Nah. I'm more interested in harnessing it's incredible POWER! A HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(Note: Rumor has it that at Area 51, it has been discovered that the alien space crafts run on a substance very much like the creamy filling of a twinkie. What's more, the aliens' main offensive weapon has been dubbed "The Twinkie Bomb".)

Thank you, Willow.
A little off topic, but speaking of rabid weasels, look what I found:
http://www.roanoke.com/news/nrv/wb/80246
(If you click on the link under the picture that says "Get some facts" you'll learn that otters are a memeber of the weasel family. I didn't know that.)

Yar, I learned a lot about the mustelid family when my dad and were tracking students. (I mean we were students of tracking, not that we tracked students. Which isn't that hard, you just follow the candy bar wrappers.) Badgers and wolverines are also related to weasels. We found some fisher tracks in our garden last week. :S
OK, back on topic...did anyone mention dropping twinkies into liquid nitrogen and then smashing them on the sidewalk?
