I never liked Twinkies and I am American so you are Satan.

Also, could people make an even broader and vaguer statement regarding American candy?

For some reason certain groups of foreigners just like to take uneducated jabs at Americans and their products. Even though a vast majority of the things they enjoy come from America lol. Go figure.

I love how you are offending people for making sweeping generalisations by making sweeping generalisations. Nice one.

Can you point out a "sweeping generalization" that I made?

@BlinkyTM: I can point out two. First you refer to people who are saying Twinkies are bad as 'foreigners', and secondly how most of the things that they like are American.

How can you even know either of those things?

@dudeglove: Because we invented all the greatest junk food :P

Most North American candy is revolting - especially the chocolate, which is just loaded with vegetable oil and shouldn't even be called chocolate.

America invented chocolate chip cookies, brownies, & oreos. America also invented the Cookies & Creame flavor which is now one of the world's favorite flavors. Your arguement is invalid.

OT: Twinkies are overrated.

America's also the fattest country in the world, so congrats on that one too.

Mexico actually is.

U.K. is not far behind America.

Dr.Pepper is great, the Swedish version is great, tried the American one and it wasn't as tasty. Has to be all that HFCS.

I enjoy a bottle of Dr. Pepper once in a while (just tried the cherry flavour - delicious!). As for twinkies, I haven't had one in years. You can just feel the sugar corroding your throat as you down it in one bite.

You can cross reference that if you want but it agrees with the sources I have seen.

Twinkies are pretty gross, and Dr.Pepper basically tastes like some kind of insecticide

Nice strawman. Where did I say that people referring to twinkies as" bad" are ALL foreigners?

I believe I posted "For some reason certain groups of foreigners just like to take uneducated jabs at Americans and their products. Even though a vast majority of the things they enjoy come from America."

The key words in a generalization are words such as "All" or "Most." Going by this classification my post is in no way a generalization.

I'm certain I stated "Products" as well, which encompasses much more than just this one food.

You refute the fact that a vast majority of products distributed to countries like the U.K. and Canada are not American? Chances are, the computer you're using right now has parts that were fabricated from materials exported to your country from the U.S.

http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c4120.html - There's a list of countries A-Z, since I mentioned the U.K. I just chose that to post.

I don't know why America loves twinkies so much. They are good but not that great.

Doctor Pepper is an aquired taste as many of you said. I LOVE IT.

I was planning on saying something, but after the rampant hate for Dr Pepper and milk chocolate found in this thread, I'm going to have to write a letter to President Obama suggesting we nuke the UK. 
 
Good day, sirs.

@TehFlan: Executive Order time :P

@BlinkyTM: My point is you can't be sure, therefore you can't say such things. You're the one turning this into something it's not.

@AlexW00d: Certainty only exists in Mathematics.

Just saying O_o

I love twinkies and Dr Pepper so...go me?

I can be sure. I just posted numbers supporting my allegations.

Nah Twinkies aren't very good.

@Hizang: This is weird, I live in the UK and an american food store just opened near me. Where do you live exactly?

@Cheesebob: You are a fat American.

:)

But but.....Dr Pepper makes the world taste better!

@ShadowConqueror said:

You must hate yourself.

If memory serves, it was one of the foods classified on the same level as pure poison for your body due to the high amount of saturated fat, synthesized materials and trans fats.

I ate my first one in senior year of high school. It tasted like shit and I haven't had one since.

Twinky's are gross, have you tried the Fried twinky yet...? BWAHAHAHA!

So anyone had a fried twinkie? Guess its a favorite food for some. Puts the calorie count around 450-500 lol. Cream turns to a pudding texture. Someone go fry one up and tell us about it lulz....

One of the fattest western nations? Sure, along with Germany & U.K. Fattest in the world? Nope, America is behind quite a few nations. Also i'm not patriotic, so idunno why you said that.

A lot of the UK people seem to have a stick up their ass about our foods, along with some weird assumed American pride about our products like we give a fuck about Twinkies or Hershey's Chocolate. They are both barely making the grade for meh, its ok.

Twinkies are alright to me. Wouldn't ever want to eat more than one if I do eat one though.

@Still_I_Cry: But...I'm English?

@Cheesebob: What is that in response to O_o?
