What do Twinkies have to do with 9/11?

The famous cakes are featured in a work by artist Nancy Peppin with the 9/11 catch phrase “Never Forget” and a date referring to the day Twinkie-maker Hostess announced it was closing. Pippin uses Twinkies, which she calls the “ultimate American food icon” in quirky artwork about culture. Her “Twinkies in history series,” portrays how scientists such as John James Audubon, Charles Darwin and Leonardo da Vinci would have sketched and written about Twinkies.
