I'm pretty sure this recipe is a joke, but I don't want to make it in order to find out ;-). I have with my own eyes seen a version posted on the Hostess pages, but can't find it now. (Which makes me think they decided to take the joke down.) Anyone can post a recipe on Recipezaar, so even the bizarre will show up some times. Wonder when someone will post the "Recipe for Disaster"? ;-) I hope everyone can see the humor in this recipe.

Hi, everybody. I've decided to come clean to the about this recipe. I wrote the original recipe about 2 1/2 years ago as a joke, under my pseudonym "John Mansfield, father of four" and submitted it to Hostess, not expecting them to take it seriously. Well, guess what...Somebody must have been fooled, because it stayed on Twinkie.com for almost a year. When I looked for it today, and couldn't find it, I did a Google search and came to this site. Maybe someday my letters to Proctor Gamble regarding the Legend of Mr. Clean will similarly resurface.

Vastly superior to its bastard cousin the Twinkie Pie, this is a true delight to the "Redneck-chic" cook in all of us. My wife and girlfriends (in Utah, that is) were astounded. How could you possibly combine canned tuna with refined sugar, and then (italics there) add brine! "Recipezaar, baby- who needs the ocean?" Eli Totz
