Hostess Thriftshop and Drake's Cherry Pies

Post by Tdarcos »

I got my check from Prince George's County for being an election judge earlier this week. The Credit Union is only open 10-2 Mon-Tue-Wed so to be able to get there I had to wait until Thursday as they're open Thu-Fri 10-5.

So I had the opportunity to visit the Hostess ThriftShop Bakery in Beltsville which is about a mile up Baltimore Ave. from the Credit Union. I rolled over there since I have about an hour before the next bus shows up.

So I find the last and only package of Drake's pies in the store, and as it turns out, this time they have cherry. So I buy that one as well as some of the Hostess pies that have been marked down to 50c.

Here's the box.

Here it is with a hostess pie and one of the Drake's white wrapper:

Drakes pies are actually half-sized wrapped 2 to a package, that's why the box contans 8 pies:

So Pinback cannot have these pies.

Did you know Hostess also makes their own version of Pop Tarts?

Given the general rise in expenses and fall in the typical standard of living, the future ain't what it used to be.
