I grew up on those Hostess fruit pies. My grandparents would buy them by the bagful when they'd go on sale for 10/$1. :)

I've never had or seen any of these pies before with the exception of the show Good Eats with the hand pies.

The Herbsaint pie looks better to me:). Probably because it is more brown compared to the the in the package!

Weezermonkey, I'm only sad that they added a Ladies' T-shirt after I sent these to you. It says "Official Pie Girl" on the back and everything. I'm glad Mr. Monkey has gotten some use out of the Men's T-shirt.

To Wandering Chopsticks, they are now $.99, but I also remember when they were 4 for a $1 and we ate them for breakfast (very nutritious).

That T-shirt and your friend (of course) RULE!

Argh! Caught with my pants down. Always did tell you I read the first and last sentence and scroll wheel thru the rest in 30 seconds. At least I'm honest!

Hilarious!! We pick up Hubig's pies fairly regularly, esp. when we come across a flavor we don't see often. Lemon is my favorite. Granted, they're sold everywhere around here. My husband grew up in the New Orleans area, and they're the only "gas station" pies he'll eat.

Oh, SinoSoul, this just proves you didn't read the original entry:

"I don't know what a gas station pie is, but I liken this dessert to an amazing homemade version of a Hostess Fruit Pie...only hot, fresh, and made with real natural ingredients instead of red dye #40."

So, no, I didn't get taken!

Does this actually quality as pie tho? I was always confused by the status of these devils as a kids.

Mmm. Pie! I used to eat these when I was little. 4 for $1. I wonder how much they cost now? People either fall into the cake camp or the pie camp. I leave the cupcake followers to do their own thing. I'm a pie groupie all the way. Mmm. Pie!

I don't think I noticed this when you first posted these, but they're basically a fruit-filled empanada. There are a a few dedicated empanada places in Chile that do dessert ones, although usually fruit fillings lose out to manjar (dolce de leche) and other super sweet creations.

There is a certain state fair that heavily advertises their fried pies. The hubster loves them. This is soo going on his Christmas list!
