But if you want to know the absolute worst thing you could possibly eat if you're training for... well... anything, really, then read on.
WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT?: The Double Fried Twinkie
WHO HATH WROUGHT THIS MONTROSITY?: FedEx Forum, home of the Memphis Grizzlies
WHAT COMPRISES SUCH A THING?: Not one but two Twinkies double-fried in funnel cake batter and topped with a choice of caramel, strawberries, raspberries, and chocolate (so really, the name should probably be The Double Fried Double Twinkie, if you want to be pedantic about it).
I NEVER KNEW TWINKIES COULD LOOK SO FANCY:This is Justin Timberlake's house. No one can be underdressed. Not even the Twinkies.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?: It's a real bargain at $4.
HOW MANY CALORIES WE TALKIN'?: About 900 for both Twinkies.
IS THIS THE LEAST HEALTHY CONCESSION FOOD EVER?: No, there's fruit, that makes it health food.
