Back in the 60s Mrs Smith's pumpkin pies could be purchased at many establishments in SE PA fresh baked, delivered daily, either whole (bakeries/markets) or slices (restaurants). They were a local outfit and extremely good. Were talkin the returnable heavy gauge metal pie pans here.
After being bought out by some big conglomerate decades ago they placed on a steady descent to what I finally termed pumpkin flavored bubblegum. (really bad)

A local supermarket had the frozen take home and bake version (with samples that didn't seem too bad) on sale for $1.50 each (usually $5.79 according to the ad). I figured at that price I'd go for it.
After one a few days ago I figured it was a definite improvement over the bubblegum flavor of a few years back but no more.
Was in the same store today, looking at the same $1.50 each sale...bought another.

Does your topping come out of a plastic bowl or a spray can?

We had a Sara-Lee plant down the road from here but sometime in the last 18 months they closed the plant. By our standards, the working conditions and hours were horrendous.
Anyway, been trying to find out if they just downsized or moved offshore.

Only thing I know bout Sara Lee is I bought a loaf of their sliced bread years back to try it. Most god awful shit I ever had. I remember the label said there were flavorings in it. Usually I call them about stuff like that but I knew I'd never buy anything Sara Lee again so I just let it go.
