Twinkies in the Movies Trivia

[Tamar]

Hopefully someone out there can put me out of my misery...I have been wracking my memory trying to figure out which movie (probably from the late 70s/early 80s) had a scene where someone sticks a Twinkie on the railing of a ferryboat and proclaims it'll still be there 20 years later. I want to say NYC was the location and that it was a Tom Hanks-type movie.

This actually came up while web-chatting with folks from across the pond...where, amazingly, they've never heard of PopTarts or Twinkies.

I figure if anyone would know, it'd be one of the 85,000 DisBoarders.

Thanks in advance for help with this really trivial trivia question!

I had this same word for word reference with some of my movie buff friends. They all thought I was crazy. Please tell me you discovered the movie title. I'm going crazy.

Sounds like a case of the Mandela Effect to me, lol.

Well we know the Twinkie question lasts at least 11 years!

 

[CheekyRose]

I remember that too. Please post if you figure it out

I never did figure it out. I recorded Splash and fast forwarded through it but did not see the scene in that movie. Still hoping to someday figure it out.

The fact that you replied gets a thumbs up lol

Maybe "You've got mail"? Or "Big"?

Thinking Tom Hanks movies set in NY.

It isn't You've Got Mail.

It might be Die Hard, he was obsessed with twinkies

It would have been cooler if you had chosen the user name burt1981 to make this first post...

I misread the title of this zombie thread. I thought it said twinks instead of twinkies.

Wow, did you join the boards just to answer a 12 year old question? That's quite awesome of you. A zombie thread gets resolved! I hope the OP is still around for their answer.

At least the original poster is still a member. He/she was last on the boards last Friday, so maybe this Zombie thread will get resolved, lol!

You're right.

I just Googled "Twinkie Paternity movie" and came up with this verifying link:

I'm lost but the whole thing reminds me of the lawyer speach from Citezen Kane of seeing a girl on the SIF and remembering everyday for the last teenty years
