# Intergalactic Snack Cake Flavors Hostess' New Moonberry Twinkies are Out of This World By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2019-08-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonberry-twinkies References: [chewboom](https://www.chewboom.com/2019/08/01/new-moonberry-twinkies-available-exclusively-at-walmart/) Following the 50th anniversary of moon landing, Hostess seems to be leaning into the space theme with the debut of its new limited-edition Moonberry Twinkies. While the actual flavor of the new snack cakes is not entirely clear, they certainly make for a delicious treat. The new Moonberry Twinkies consist of a blue-ish sponge cake filled with a mysterious moonberry-flavored filling. The idea appears to be that the outside of the Twinkie is the night sky, while the inside represents the stars. This intergalactic flavor comes in packs of 10 and can be found exclusively at [Walmart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystery-flavor-twinkies). With the recent moon landing anniversary and the popularity of [galaxy-hued treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galactic-brownie-ice-cream), it seems that a growing number of snack brands are exploring space themes.
