The $TWINKcoin snack cakes are a tongue-in-cheek product from Hostess for avid Twinkies fans to try out this summer.
The snack cakes are named and formulated with the cryptocurrency market in mind, and feature the familiar vanilla sponge cake composition of the original Twinkies. The cakes are filled with creme and maintain a coin-shaped profile to further create the correlation between the product and the cryptocurrency market. The cakes come packaged in a bright gold-colored box to further help them catch the eyes of shoppers.
The $TWINKcoin snack cakes are a limited-edition product that's set to arrive at Walmart locations starting at the end of June. Priced at $3.49, the snack cakes will come in packs of 10 individually wrapped servings.
