Etymology
The word Twinkie began as an American brand name for a small cake from the 1930s. One popular story says the name comes from the word twinkle ('to shine' or 'sparkle'), giving the snack a cute, small image, and that's why a Twinkie now means a small, sweet sponge cake with a creamy filling.
