I just bought a box of twinkies that doesn't expire for a while and as I ate a bite of my twinkie, I automatically tasted and smelled chemicals, and my mouth was filled with sort of a plastic taste in my mouth and i nearly threw up. I'm so scared I may have ate something that could poison my body. The taste still hasn't left my mouth. I could swear twinkies weren't always like this.
