Strangest thing....Saturday, the orchard down the road put out their sign that they had peaches. Last night, I spotted a PEACH Hostess Pie in the gas station a bit further down the road! Coincidence?? I think NOT!
P.S. Yes, it was purchased and consumed for the taste test study.

I just did that same taste test, it was pretty good. I went in to look for more strawberry, didn't see any, but they had one peach begging to be eaten.
Found this thread searching on Google for Hostess blueberry pies. Stopped into my local hostess shop today and they had Cherry, Strawberry, Peach, Apple, Lemon, and Pudding. When I asked about blueberry the lady said they were too expensive to make so they were discontinued a few years ago. I had never seen strawberry, peach or pudding before so that was new to me. I bought a peach and strawberry. My son and I split them and we liked the strawberry better but I think Cherry or Apple is better the ones we got today. Blueberry is still king in my heart though. This was in Minnesota btw.

This thread has gone Google?!!?!?!?!?! COOL!
Welcome Drock.
While it was the search of the elusive HBP (a search done on his own, I'll have you know Heater) that led you to this site, you won't find pies here. What you will find is one of the most congenial group of techies on the web. If you have any interest in things electronic, and micro-controllers in particular, hang around and enjoy the company!
ATTN davejames: CHECK THOSE DATE CODES! (Oh, right: Hostess UltraChemTM preservatives -- good for 20 years or more. Nevermind. Carry on.)

Lol, actually they seem to have really short shelf lives. I saw three that I was going to buy with the intent of sending them to Dave, but I noticed they only had a couple days shelf life left, so I didn't get them.
If you like strawberry, you'll want to go back and buy the other two.....trust me.
Well, I just ate half of it, and I have to admit that I'm not a fan. I'll finish it off after lunch, but it doesn't make me want to run out for more. If I see one of the odd varieties (something other than apple or cherry or chocolate) I'll buy it and try it, but just for old time's sake.
Apparently the global harvesting of blueberries is big business. Norway has recently had to take a look at its dependency on Chinese migrant berry pickers that they have been using to pick their crop. Apparently Norway has a huge blueberry harvest because wild blueberries can be picked for commercial resale on private land without the permission of the landowner.

CW - thanks for the thought. My Hostess-pie-junky friend has been inundated with pies recently, and needs time for his glucose levels to subside.

...guess I should have read this one first!
Not want for more?!?!? How can that be???
Keep on the lookout for peach - it might fit your tast buds better.

I was disappointed in the peach pies but then, I consider a properly made peach pie to be the paragon of fruit pies so I may be a bit harsh in my judgement. (Not enough fruit and missing the pinch of cinnamon that elevate it beyond mere peach pie!)
...luckily, it's peach season in Ohio so I was able to cleanse my palate!
I expect I'd like the strawberry better than the peach. I did finish the other half. Sorta okay. Sorry - this isn't quite my cup of tea. The hunt is the exciting part. I did really enjoy that.
This morning I saw the Lemon pie for my first time. Didn't buy one, though. I know in advance I won't like that, and I certainly don't need to be eating these two days in a row.
Still, the hunt is fun.

I bought one. Haven't eaten it yet.

I suppose if you wanted to, you could apply for a work visa and go to Norway and pick blueberries for a working holiday.
...I'm jealous!!! My current weight-loss efforts don't allow me the luxury.

Thanks Loopy...picking for a working holiday? No. Eating for a working holiday? YES!!!

How come the Chinese have not picked up on this?
...yessir! At your order, Sir!
...absolutely agree!
