Admittedly, I am confused pretty easily. Not so much as the common deer-stuck-in-headlights kind of confused – but close.

I stumbled upon these little gems in the grocery store the other day. Suddenly I was confused.

A pie comes in a variety of flavors. Apple, pecan, lemon, and yes, even cherry. But cherries do not come in a multitude of flavors. They come in…ummm….cherry.

So what gives and where will this end?

You can’t have bacon stuffed bacon (trust me, I have looked).

There is no Kool-Aid flavored soda.

You can’t have apple stuffed apples.

And you can’t have cherries that taste like pie.

Pie is useless without help…

You can’t have pie flavored anything without the actual fillers.

I think “pie” has been riding this lofty wave long enough. It is time that someone calls pie out for what it actually is…a big hunk of dough whose only use is to hold together something yummy.

No one asks for “more pie but hold the filing please.” It just doesn’t happen.

Matter of fact, I have seen many a people leave extra pie bits on the plate – that almost never happens with the filling.

Nope…this makes no sense to me.
