What about the Twinkie? -Peter

The Twinkie was used by Egon in order to demonstrate to the rest of the Ghostbusters how extreme the current Psycho-Kinetic Energy, or P.K.E., levels were.

Whereas a normal Twinkie would represent a standard amount of P.K.E., the surge Egon was tracking would equate to a Twinkie that was thirty-five feet long and weighing approximately six hundred pounds.

In the movie novelization, Egon eats the Twinkie right after Winston responds with "That's a big Twinkie."

TriviaEdit

• In Ghostbusters Issue #2 page 9, a Twinkie can be seen on the dashboard of Ecto-1a.
• In Ghostbusters Issue #4 page 5, Winston mentions the Twinkie.
