Anyone remember the famous "Sponge-worthy" episode of Seinfeld? Well, I go through similar issues with my "pie supplies".... Over the years I have stopped using PetRitz pies due to their lack of availability... And then, later, Kraft SnackPacks killed their best flavor, banana. (If you've noticed a lack of banana cream pies in recent SS volumes, that's why....)

So my new staple is butterscotch... But now the brand I use is disappearing as well. My efforts to locate it online have turned up nothing, and my stockpile is running low. SO... If you happen to come across "Jello Handi Snacks Butterscotch" pudding at your local grocery, let me know! Ideally I want to buy out some store's leftover stock before it's gone. Futile, I know, but we'll see.....

(Also, an actual website where I can order would be even better. But I've combed the web and I don't think they exist...)

Good ol' forgotten Kay*Mart:

No word on pricing for cases, pallets, or shipping containers.

Oh believe me... I tried. I tried.

After going through multiple websites (there's also shopyourway.com which handles Kmart and others) and being unable to "Checkout" my cart, I called a 1-800 number and talked to 3 reps before the third one basically said, "Yeah, the reason you can't checkout is because we don't have any in inventory."

In theory I *could* pick it up at a store within 50 miles of me... If they had any. I tried dropping in different stores in the state just to see, and all were Out Of Stock. Just for fun I tried stores in Atlanta and NYC. OOS too.

I'm sure there IS a Kmart somewhere in America that still has stock, but their website will never volunteer that information without a fight.

Dollar stores will often have overstock or bargain brand puddings. Or Big Lots will also have things like that, if you have one near you.

Would it be cheaper to buy dry pudding and make it? It seems pretty cheap at Aldi and I think they have banana and butterscotch; however something tells me you've already considered this, put the math to it, and found out the savings are too minimal for the effort involved.

This is God's way of telling you pies with no pudding are better.

That is NOT true whatsoever!! Just a quick example of butterscotch in action....

It's about the same. $1 for 4 individual cups makes 2 good pies along with Cool Whip... $1 for a big package of dry pudding does 2 pies as well. Again, it's really just a consistency thing. This particular brand of pudding is just the right smoothness. (I also stockpiled some of their chocolate swirl, but it's not nearly as good.)

Hopefully when I switch to dry butterscotch I can get the same effect. In the case of banana, I've tried several different varieties of dry and they're all "pretty good" but none on the level of Kraft's discontinued pudding cup variety.

This is the kind of bizarre stuff literally NO ONE else cares about BTW....

Once again, the greatness of Rich cannot be overstated. I use these same butterscotch pudding cups, cool whip and graham cracker crust pies with my wife. Ironically, I saw those same pudding cups in Costco just this afternoon. Not sure if Costco is in Georgia.

Rich, GFS has bags of pudding powder that are probably 10x the size of the boxes you're getting at the store, and in several varieties.

Meh. I've always been a fan of just the traditional whipped cream.

That said, your work is spectacular, Rich. No matter what's in your pies.

Also, if anybody finds a warehouse full of Pepperidge Farm sesame snack sticks, let me know.

Because damn those were tasty.

No useful information on pudding stock or supplies, BUT I had to chime in as a fan of Pudding Based Pies!

It's really the only type of pie that I enjoy seeing thrown. There's just something about the extra mess and instant glop.

Partly why whenever I see Reddi-whip on a paper plate I basically lose most interest.

yup, puddin' pies make for great messy splatteriffic throwing pies (My Tabitha video was all pudding pies)...for sure....and one of my best hits was of Ivy getting a butterscotch pie in the face (should have seen her eyes grow wide when I first showed her that pie!)

Hey Rich, who is the sexy dark-haired gal in your current avatar photo?

That's Alex, the one I've been promoting for the past couple weeks...

So far, everyone loves everything about her! But very few actually buy anything with her! 2015 in the WAM community....

Its sure has been slow around here lately hopefully it picks back cause alex is hot hot love the slime scene video

Colour in pies is essential, from the yellow of custard, to the brown of chocolate, to the pink of strawberry custard, to raspberry wine colour, to blueberry and so on. Good old fashioned cool whip pies are great, but a hint of colour in them just add something magical to the pies when they are placed in the face of a gorgeous girl
