I suppose this does sound more appetizing than "Ritz Cracker Pie" but somehow I don't see the need for a fake apple pie. Research tells me that there was some kind of apple shortage back in the 30's so America's insatiable appetite for apple pie apparently had to be addressed somehow back then. But has anyone under the age of 70 ever not seen apples at the grocery store?
How does someone come up with this idea, anyway? "I wish I had a slice of apple pie right now - but maybe cracker pie would be just as good?" I think I might be more apt to make a fake strawberry pie with a bag of Starburst candies. I guess I'm just not a forward thinker (except for the "microwave" refrigerator idea a few weeks ago).
Then again, I really have no room to talk because I could go for a bowl of Apple Jacks right now.

I'm reading your post wearing a mock turtleneck as I attempt to mock your comments.
It is interesting that we would create something artificial when the real thing is actually something very affordable, but perhaps it is due to technology ingenuity. For example, the twinkie. I'm not sure what that is supposed to represent, but it certainly sounds friendly enough. No doubt one would not reach for a twinkie if someone is trying to lose weight. However, I think it suffices as a good substitute for a banana. Twinkies can last longer than a cockroach in a nuclear disaster. Put a banana on the table and it practically wilts in front of your very eyes.
I didn't offend you by using the reference to twinkie, did I? I know you were trying to get over that insult from high school when your girlfriend made that rude comment in the back seat. . .
Personally, I've always preferred Dolly Madison Zingers to Hostess Twinkies. I think it must be the vanilla frosting across the top.
I'm sure a Zinger has never been anything more than a Twinkie with frosting but I've never liked Twinkies. Hostess and Dolly Madison must have hooked up together at some point because I recently saw "Hostess Zingers" at the store - somehow it seems that Zingers will never be the same.
I've always been puzzled at the naming conventions of these products. Where did we ever get the infamous "lil Debbie" anyway? Will she forevermore be saddled with the Little moniker even though she may be pushing 80 and 180 pounds? Imagine the insults as she turns a corner and gets a yelp of here comes "lil Debbie."
Yeah, it's funny how big fat Debbie has managed to sustain being called "Little" all these years. Just like calling big guys "Tiny" those ironic nicknames abound, don't they Mr. Huge?
