Comments left:	Twinkies go back to 1931 by Continental Baking. Originally, the cream filling was a banana by-product. In 1942, bananas became scarce, as shipments from South America were curtailed during World War 2. Continental then changed the cream filling to a vanilla extract, which proved more popular. Found a "Captain Kangaroo" TV clip from Sept.,1962. Continental was a sponsor that year, and billboards appeared for Wonder Bread, Twinkies and Hostess Cupcakes. After the station break, the captain and Bunny Rabbit try to introduce a short film on football...but get the wrong film ( a scene showing a man and woman talking was inserted by mistake). A rare "Kangaroo" blooper, and Bob Keeshan ad-libbed through the embarrassing moment. While the filmed show was edited for time, this one slipped by without a retake.
