HostessCherry Fruit Pies (Pack of 8)

A bit expensive, but what do you expect? You ordered it online. The convenience is worth it to me. Product was fresh and as tasty as I recall, although there some sort of slightly bitter aftertaste. Not enough to prevent me from ordering in the future. BUY IT!!!!!

Always good

Ohmygoodness these are awful. The picture on the box is terribly deceptive. I observed ZERO cherries in them. None. Just red, cherry-flavored goo. Ewwww! When I was young these things were larger, plump and filled with actual cherries. No longer. Now they're flat, tasteless and disgusting.

Love having these in the pantry

I love these cherry pies. Though they were not the freshest, they were still good. Only down side is it takes over a week to get to me. Bet they would be a lot fresher, it shipping didn't take so long

Personally I thought this had plenty of cherries in it and it was a substantial size for the money paid with a tasty filling but there is a slight rancid taste in the crust similar to shortening that has gone bad which is probably one of the ingredients used to make the crust. I would’ve contacted the seller personally but could not figure out how to do that. I will purchase this product again simply because I think it’s a good buy but I’m hoping the next set that I purchase does not have this rancid flavor because then I will no longer be able to put my money into it.

I used to eat Hostess fruit pies back in the 80's when I was in school. They were incredible!! I can vividly remember the taste, texture, etc. Unfortunately, what Hostess is producing now is a far inferior, very degraded product. It is nothing like the original fruit pies. The crust is horrible. It has a bland, flavorless, almost lard-like taste and consistency. It doesn't even taste like pie crust. It's just garbage. I'll try to find some other brands in hopes of being able to find something that resembles the original Hostess fruit pies. I really wish Hostess would go back to their former recipe and processing. These current "fruit pies" aren't even similar. If I were to rate them on a scale from 1-10, I would give the 1980's fruit pies a "10" and I would give the current product a "2". It's that much different. Sad. I would buy them if they fixed this.

I am 68 yrs. old now. I can remember when I was young what a treat to open my lunch box in grade school at lunch time and finding one of these in there. They were in paper bags then. Cherry was my favorite, the only problem if you could call it one is, as long as I can remember all their fruit pies were covered with a heavy sugar glaze making the super sweet!! Low and behold 50 years or so later they have got rid of that heavy glaze so the fruit favor really stands out. (OUTSTANDING and DELICIOUS) But check this out: 1963 $.12 Now $2.25 SAD HUH? Still the bomb! LOL
