The point of the snack is how pointless deep frying a piece of junk food really is. You don't eat this because you want a high quality treat, but more to rebel against good nutrition promoters. If you are otherwise healthy enough, I see nothing wrong with experiencing an occasional deep-fried indulgence, no matter how pointless the concept seems at first. Some fried twinkie connoisseurs recommend dusting the creation with powdered sugar (or frosting) to help it regain the right fat/sugar balance. A popular curiosity at many a county fair.
