We are all familiar with the Twinkie: the golden sponge cake with creamy filling. Since its inception in 1930, the Twinkie has grown in popularity. However, with people watching their weight and monitoring what their kids are eating, fewer Twinkies are being consumed for breakfast. The nutritional information may be a little surprising, especially that it may take more than 41 minutes of walking just to burn off the calories in one Twinkie. Have no fear, Kraft Foods has come to the rescue! Kraft is releasing a new product that my friend has said is delicious: Bagel-fuls. Similar to a Twinkie, Bagel-fuls is a “Bagel” that is a stick (similar to the shape of a Twinkie) and is stuffed with creamy cream cheese (similar to the creamy filling of a Twinkie). There are five different flavors: original, cinnamon, strawberry, chive, and whole grain. Because of my diet, I will not be able to have any, but I thought I would pass along this information, as well as the link to Kraft’s website just in case any one was interested.

And we need our bagels pre-inserted with cream cheese becaaaaaaaaause...? I guess it's neater. Now the twinkie? That's brilliance.
While I agree that there is not a “need,” I imagine it is more convenient if your are on the road or need to throw something it a bag for a kid. It is solely a time and convenience thing. The Twinkie is good and has an actual purpose as a snack. The Bagel-ful is trying to capitalize on the fact that people have less time to do things and prefer to eat things out of a box.
