Television and film Edit In 1984, the Twinkie became known worldwide in countries that did not sell the confection, due to a reference in the hit film Ghostbusters.[28] In the film, the character Egon Spengler describes a speculated level of psychokinetic energy and uses a regular-sized Twinkie to represent the normal level of such energy in New York City. He then says that based on a recent sample, the Twinkie representing New York would be over 35 feet (11 m) long and weigh approximately 600 pounds (270 kg), to which the character Winston Zeddemore replies, "That's a big Twinkie."[28] In 1978 film, The Deer Hunter, two hunters enjoy lunch while one dips a Twinkies in Mustard. In 1979 film, The Jerk, in this early scene when protagonist Navin is served his favorite meal for his 21st birthday: Tuna fish salad on white bread with mayonnaise and a couple of Twinkies. When Navin leaves his party in a tiff, his mom comforts him privately with another Twinkie. Navin's surprising discovery that he is not a naturally born child of his African-American family is only mitigated by the repeated sweetness of those Twinkies. The 1988 action film Die Hard makes light of Twinkie ingredients in an exchange between characters John McClane (played by Bruce Willis) and Sgt. Al Powell (Reginald VelJohnson). In the 1989 film UHF, "Weird Al" Yankovic makes a Twinkie wiener sandwich, composed of a hotdog topped with Easy Cheese in a bun made from a Twinkie.

John Fogerty's 2004 album Deja Vu All Over Again includes the satirical, somewhat world-weary song "Nobody's Here Anymore", which ponders people's infatuation with modern technology and its ever more sophisticated consumer devices. "He got a stash of Twinkies up in his room" is a line lamenting the self-absorption and social isolation of the protagonist of the song's first verse. "Habits (Stay High)", a 2013 song by Swedish singer Tove Lo, mentions Twinkies in the line "I get home, I got the munchies / Binge on all my Twinkies / Throw up in the tub / Then I go to sleep."[30] In an interview, the singer confessed she had thought that "twinkie" was a synonym for "cookie" and that Hostess had sent her a sample of the product after the success of the song.[31]

The show gained more notoriety when as part of a competition, two children were forced to go head-to-head in a stare-out contest to win their parents a car. After the competition was won, the boy who had lost then started to cry, which led the tabloid press to attack the show. The next edition showed the boy with the consolation prize of an assortment of toys, an apparent attempt to mitigate controversy, but which was followed by another staring contest (this time for a speedboat), again ending with the losing child crying.

In early 20th-century molecular biology, some mysticism surrounded the use of 288 to count protein structures, largely based on the fact that it is a smooth number.[23][24] A common mathematical pun involves the fact that 288 = 2 · 144, and that 144 is named as a gross: "Q: Why should the number 288 never be mentioned? A: it is two gross."[25]
