In celebration of Pie Day, first, I dressed up like a pie!
Then, I had a pizza pie!
Finally, we all topped it off with delicious Little Stuffed Bull-Sized Personal Pan Pies!
So, while we're digesting those, let's take a look at some of the classic Hostess Fruit Pie Comic Book Ads! But as much as I love Thor versus the Ding-A-Ling Family, we've all seen the Marvel and DC superheroes use Hostess snack capers to thwart crime time and time again. So, let me show you some non-superhero fruit pie ads. They are best enjoyed while snacking on a delicious, tasty Hostess Fruit Pie, by the way.

Whew! Looks like pies are the universal constant across the infinite earths! Which is as good a reason as any to trot out an assortment of Hostess Ad Parodies! Please keep your tongue firmly in cheek, unless eating delicious fruit pies!

Pierre, you *do* know that you only "won" that contest not because you submitted third-party processed snack cakes, but because Richie Rich bribed the judges, right?
I remember something similar from an old sitcom (I think it was "Empty Nest," but I'm not sure), where a clueless supporting character entered a chili cook-off and won...then, in his acceptance speech, he thanked "the fine people at Hormel" because he genuinely had no idea that you couldn't use a mass-market mix.
I actually saw something in real life (well, the real-ish life-ish stuff you get on reality shows, anyway.)
On the first episode of Hell's Kitchen, each chef presented a "signature dish" to Gordon Ramsay. One of them presented pre-packaged (might've even been "fresh frozen") tortellini with canned tomato sauce.
Of course, as anyone who's watched like 5 minutes of any Gordon Ramsay show could predict, all those things are instant-loss material with him.
I would pay good money to see Gordon Ramsey let lose with both barrels at Richie Rich.
