Twinkies Getting Healthier

We know, that post title is an oxymoron, but it's true. Hostess begins distributing 100-calorie packs of mini-twinkies called "Twinkie Bites" today. Other things we didn't know until this story hit? That 500 million Twinkies are sold each year and that there's actually a position called "vice president of snack marketing." This is great news as snack cakes are a favorite at Chicagoist staff meetings and get-togethers.

Now if only Little Debbie could come up with a low-calorie version of Devil Squares, we'd save a collective fortune on gym memberships.
