I called a few Hostess outlets near LA and nobody has them. Those two flavors are seasonal... summer only... but this year, nobody has seen either flavor.
Bakeries probably have a price point over which they won't bother making a product.
But if you need a source of income for retirement, maybe blueberries are in your future???

My first occupation I considered (as a kid back in the 1950s) was farming. But then over years I realized just how much work that entailed coupled with all the restrictions/regulations...and that I could make more money in the electronics industry...well, the most "farming" I do now is setting up the drip irrigation system for my "North Dakota-farm-girl" of a wife's garden.
Our blueberry plants aren't doing too well, BTW. Not her fault, just too hot in the south Bay Area.
I was in a convenience store yesterday, and there was a rack of Hostess products that included fruit pies: Apple, Cherry, and Blackberry. "OMG! Cherry! That's one of the flavors Dave was looking for!" So I bought it, planning to post a picture in this thread, like it was Waldo or Carmen Sandiego.
Oh, cripes, Phil, you idiot! Strawberry, not Cherry! What to do with it now? Feed it to Browser? Nah, that would be animal cruelty.
So, this morning, I ate it for breakfast. Dave, I have only this to say: Don't be an enabler for your friend's addiction. Do him a much bigger favor, intervene, and get him into a twelve-stop recovery program.

I laughed out loud!!!
Thank you for thinking of me and my buddy's quest. Sorry it didn't set well with you. I find the cherry excessively sweet myself.
By accident I came across a store here in Oz that specializes in US food imports (usafoods.com.au). I checked - Twinkies, Ding Dongs, but not fruit pies you seek. Sorry.
Perhaps your campaign might find common ground our bring back the Polly Waffle campaign. No success yet.
Anyway the good news is the search has gone global...
They're fine fuel on a 100-mile bike ride, but otherwise slamming one for breakfast will make your day a bit more "interesting"!
Is it just me who gets double words occassionally at the end of a line? I went back to edit my original post, which reads "more more", but it is correct in the edit box. Check my post #44 above. It's driving me quite mad...
The double words appear for me (Firefox) when I'm editing something in the Quick Reply box, am near the end of the line, and delete something. There remains a bit of detritus displayed at the end of the line that's not really part of the text that gets submitted. It doesn't happen all the time, though.
Is that because we're single-minded, socially-crippled techno-dweebs?
Actually, 79% of medical researchers and doctors tested assert that, in more than 92% of our conscious waking moments, that the human brain is multitasking 4 or more foreground tasks, while dozens of simultaneous tasks are in play in the background. Theoretically.

...um, from the Nuntius video, I don't think the blueberries would survive!
And her Jalapeno Jelly is to die for...

Oops, I meant Prospero!

That's been happening to me a lot, too. I think it's a browser issue, though, when it renders the edit box. Are you using Firefox by any chance?
-Phil
Tubular - thank you!
I'm using Firefox (version 3 something). I don't see any double words in your posts.
Please. Switch to a better, more secure browser...

There is but one rule that the users of the forum always seem to follow:
No matter how off topic the original thread can be, it will eventually end up being a technical discussion.

So you're saying "Yes"?
