Fruit Pie the Sorcerer: 91 Proof That I am Deeply Disturbed - Giant in the Playground Games
You know what sucks? That most of us could eat those things as kids and run the fat/sugar off in the course of the afternoon.
Now, eating them makes us feel guilty. I’m tired of feeling guilty when I eat the good stuff. Ivylad bought a chocolate cream pie from the store and I was quite offended when he offered me a piece.
Mmm, Hostess fruit pies. I can’t remember the last one I ate. <sigh>
Does anybody remember Banana Flips? Kinda like a cake taco with white filling?

Mmm. Delicious Hostess Fruit Pies ™.
Perfect for stopping any act of supervillany!

And Mrs. Lovett’s Meat Pies.
For when it’s time to start again.

My mom was hooked on Hostess Ding Dongs . With a huge glass of milk.

I have to force myself to look the other way if I see a box of Hostess Ho-Ho’s. Those are the ones that look like a miniature buche noel - a little chocolate roll-up cake log with cream filling. I swear they are as good as fancy petits fours from a good bakery. I haven’t tasted one in years, and Og willing, I will continue to keep away from the damned addictive things.
Curse you, Hostess!

Those are pretty damned yummy. I remember eating every flavor under the sun. Seriously, I think I’ve had them all.
Chocolate..not as bad as you’d think.

Oh man, I haven’t seen the chocolate in AGES! I would kill someone for one. Please, if you have one, send it along with a list!

Jesus. That’s a lot of sugar.

If that’s not enough sugar and fat for you, you could put it in a bowl, mash it up a little, nuke it for a few seconds to get it warm, and then put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Since when is chocolate a fruit?
[QUOTE=tdn]
Not the same experience by a long shot.
And not to send anyone into a serious sugar rush, but y’all realize it’s Girl Scout cookie season, right?
[/QUOTE]
Dammit! I’m glad you reminded me, I haven’t got my girl scout huntin’ permit yet.
Per their website they also make a French Apple fruit pie, which I’d love to try, but never seen.

Since the same time steak is a vegetable.
I ate an entire box of Girl Scout Cookie Samoas today. You all are rookies. I take your 480 calories and raise it by 800.

Your post made me think, so I went on Wikipedia and it turns out that the cacao of the cacao tree is its fruit, and it’s the seeds of which that we turn into chocolate. So by extension, I guess you could kinda call chocolate a fruit product.
Woo! Loophole in the food pyramid!
Yes, I know, all the sugars and stuff added to it kind of rains on the parade, but let’s just have a moment to feel good about ourselves.
They are great (although I prefer French Apple Tastypies), but don’t look at the nutrition facts. They are LOADED with fat and calories :eek:

That’s just food porn plain and simple.
Actually, my weakness, which is only available in Texas, dammit…
Whataburger DEEP FRIED apple pies…
…you know, like the ones McDonald’s and Burger King and all other hamburger joints USED to sell? Yeah, Whataburger still makes those…2 for a buck…I used to buy 5 bucks worth and watch the cashier’s eyes get big. Then they would have to fry all 10 of those pies all by themselves in the fry vat…and I’d wait the 3 minutes…and then I’d take them home, only 3 blocks from the Whataburger…and we’d put 'em in bowls with vanilla ice cream…
…oh, yeah…it was pure, artery-hardening heaven, it was…

Oh, yes. When I arrived in Texas two years ago and encountered them, I briefly rediscovered my faith in a benevolent deity.
You’ll get a big delight in every bite of Hostess Fruit pies!
