BLUE HILL, MAINE --06/02/2016 -- George Stevens Academy dean of students Libby Rosemeier with the Twinkie that has been residing at the school for 40 years. The snack was taken out of its package and placed on top of a classroom blackboard in 1976 by chemistry teacher Roger Bennatti, who since retired. Rosemeier was a student in Bennatti's class when the experiment began, to see how long the Twinkie would be preserved by the chemicals used in it. Gabor Degre | BDN
