Like anything, they're fine when consumed once in a while but not everyday.

I like 'em, and get half a dozen on occasion when the mood strikes me and
I'd totally buy the lemon and... purple flavored ones, if I could find them.

Never seen peach, blueberry, or blackberry 'round here.

They sold these in the bodega around the corner from my middle school. Once or twice a year, I'd get a craving for the fuckers, buy a package because it was 50 cents, take two bites...and remember that I didn't actually like them.

My friends were always thrilled when I bought any because they knew they'd get free fruit pies.

It has been the dream of Americans to kill every single human being not a member of their local incestuous jesus cult, but we're still not allowing them to because just like these pies, it's dangerous and inhumane. That's why we ban them and leave them to the corrupt subhuman states to consume.

The last time you assholes had one of these threads it totally reminded me to look for these things during my next road trip since the large majority of these flavors simply do not exist on the east coast. Found chocolate and lemon, purchased it, opened lemon in the parking lot and BLEEEEEEH it was terrible. A gel-like substance that tastes of Pledge with sugar in it.

It's not about what's at the end of the road though, it's about the journey. You found the lemon.

One day I may find Blackberry and after years of waiting it may be the best thing ever. However chances are its going to taste like a shitty. $1.99 fruit pie full of HFCS and other random shit. Either way, I wont care.

Which means they'll be bankrupt again soon enough.

The union wasn't the real problem. The real problem was the management which took the following pattern:
>We made profit this quarter?
>Bonuses for officers!
>We lost money this quarter?
>Pay increase for officers, so we can "keep and recruit top talent"

No investment in the company. If they needed new capital, they'd either sell off something, close a plant to "reclaim costs" from payroll, or just do another price hike.

There are other companies doing the same thing, but they aren't in a field as price sensitive as "snacks in a fucking gas station."

Seriously, this was like their 5th bankrupcy in 12 years.

See this makes it sound like management is horrible. I'm not saying they aren't, however the upper executives and shareholders own the company. They make money from it same way you expect to make money from your investments.

Chocolate pies were a staple of my youth, we had a Hostess outlet down the road from my house and they always had them (and blackberry too) in stock. I still see the chocolate ones occasionally but I haven't seen a blackberry one in 17 years.

I think there are a couple of bakeries still open nearby, I'll see if I can find a blackberry pie too.
