Sometimes, I get a real hankerin' for very specific things, like Hostess Fruit Pies. Yeah, yeah...I know they're not good for me, but neither is trading posts with Storygirl and Ray. I still do it. I love to do it...

Anyway, I KNOW you all love Hostess Fruit Pies as much as me. What's the best flavor?

I'm wondering if I should try out my new super duper mod powers and delete this thread?

Apple.

I voted "GROSS!" I'd have voted twice, once for you and once for the fruit pie, but I wasn't granted that option.

Are we talking about those smallish taco shaped tart type things with the glazy sugar coating and just a wee bit of filling inside? The ones that if not careful, crush on the shelf, before you even get it home? I had no idea those were Hostess.

I loooooooooooooooove the choco ones. Yummmmmmmmy. With a glass of milk.

I thought this was going to be a much more existential question such as "If you were a Hostess Fruit Pie, what flavor would you be?"

I'm sore disappointed. And Big Wheel isn't on the poll.

This is an outrage.

I call the lemon ones "lemon gunkies." I don't care for Hostess fruit pies much anymore.

Now Tastykakes are another matter.....

When I was a kid they used to make one just called "berry"; I think it had blackberries, raspberries, and maybe strawberries. That was my favorite.

And I know people always say this, but they did make them better "back then". They were fresher.

You forgot to have Orlando Bloom and Eggplant as options.

I can't remember the last time I had one, but I voted for apple, it's a safe bet.

I wanted to vote Lemon and Chocolate. Alas. You give no such option. And those of us who are torn between 2 totally different, but equally delicious pies are forced to choose. How dare you, sir?

How dare you?

Don't they make blueberry, too? Or am I thinking of something else?
I always liked raspberry Zingers better, anyway :)

Hostess hasn't made a fruit pie in decades. The ones in stores now are from the Johnson administration. That's why they don't seem as fresh. They're nearly a quarter of the way to their expiration date.
