Will Twinkies survive a nuclear war?

Published in Daily Trivia
An urban legend holds that twinkies are chemically syntheized and require no baking. As a result, they supposedly have a nearly limitless shelf-life and could potentially "survive a nuclear war" (like cockroaches). In practice, twinkies last only about 25 days before degrading substantially in quality -- though they do last longer than most other baked goods due to the fact that the filling is not actually dairy.
