- Twinkies Experiments
Speaking of snack cakes, a series of light-hearted Twinkies "experiments" are posted on the web by two students from Rice University. The Maximum Density Test and the Solubility Test offer some food for thought. In case you'd rather not buy a Twinkie, the ingredients are listed under "About the Twinkies". Note there is an error in the Radiation Test, as the site authors confuse nuclear radiation with microwave radiation.
