Double check Twinkies name in Mexico.[edit]

The current page says that Twinkies made by Wonder in Mexico are called "Tuinky" but I bought Mexican Twinkies made by Wonder on May 2020 and they are called "Twinkies" just like the rest of the world, I tried to check Wonder's official website but it says it's under construction wonder.com.mx So I couldn't double check officially if Twinkies are indeed call Twinkies in Mexico or if they are called "Tuinky" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artu165 (talk • contribs) 18:06, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
