Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pudding Pies!

This is a really short article, but I wanted to get the ball rolling on the quest to find Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pudding Pies. Made by Hostess in the early 1990s, these vanilla goo-filled green-dyed pastries changed the lives of every grade schooler who knew what a "sai" was. After a year of hunting, I've located three of the original wrappers and some of the cards, and this has excited me enough to pay tribute even if I don't have anything too worthwhile to show you. Oh well. They're great wrappers, though. I love the wrappers. When will the pie search end? Soon, I hope. This is making me feel like such a loser.

For some reason I thought they were like normal on the outside with a green icing stripe or mabe green pudding inside…..I definitly remeber eating more than my share though…..

Hey maybe hostess will come out with Shrek Pies and they’ll be green and for one small moment we can all just imagine that they are really TMNT pies… (by the lemon pies rock!)

This is the thing that brought me here a long time ago. I was doing a random search for TMNT pies, and it brought me to a wonderful site called x-entertainment.com or something like that. These are the best kind of snack cakes ever! I’d buy them everyday at the store down the street and I remember it always ruined my day when they were out of stock that day. There was nothing else worthy.

I would wound somebody to get those TMNT pies manufactured again along with the cereal.

Good times.. good teeth rotting times..

Still have my pie card of Movie Splinter.
Only on this site could the preceding sentence make any kind of sense.

I acutally remember the ads for that. Like the TMNT cereal commerical, it was animated but the Turtles weren’t voiced by the VAs from the cartoon. In the ad, it showed the Turtles making the pies in their lair, and the jingle for it went "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pies, fresh from the sewers to you!" I can’t remember the whole song, but I remember them making the pudding filling TMNT releated by saying the pies were "filled with Mutagen goo" but then said "That’s vanilla pudding, dudes!" I guess they said it was really pudding so kids wouldn’t try buying a pet turtle and pouring the pudding all over expecting it to turn into a Mutant Turtle.

But really, saying the pies were "fresh from the sewers" doesn’t make them sound safe for eating, now does it?

Dog’s on fire… now it’s not.

I can’t stand the TMNT revival. They changed April to a slutty looking teenager, from what I can gather.

says who?

I remember eating plenty of these items. They were so delicious, the pudding consistency was perfect. Sort of a cross between a hunts snack pack, but a little more custardy. Mmmmm…. Pie…

Chestnuts roasted by Mmm.. Pie @ 05/20/2004 5:54 PM

When come back, bring pie.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 05/20/2004 6:09 PM

Oh yes, how could I forget these? A staple of my youth. Dunno if I ever finished one, but damn…good memories.

Chestnuts roasted by Splinter @ 05/20/2004 7:31 PM

hey, thanks for posting a story on these pies. I still have some unopened, the only wrapper i’m missing is Donatello.

Chestnuts roasted by B-Prime @ 05/20/2004 7:32 PM

Mr. Prime, shoot me an e-mail. I am prepared to offer you my home for an unopened Turtle Pie.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 05/20/2004 7:35 PM

those pudding pies were SO GOOD. i’m still carrying some fat deposits created by those things when i was about eight years old.

Chestnuts roasted by zann @ 05/20/2004 7:40 PM

mmmmmm how I miss these pies

Chestnuts roasted by That80sguy @ 05/20/2004 7:41 PM

Now THAT’S the stuff…

How come all the good Hostess crap is gone mere months after their release?

Oh, and Matt, did you get my e-mail? The one with Photog boxing another Photog and how to make your own Pac-Man arcade game?

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Mr. Mr. @ 05/20/2004 7:46 PM

Photog…boxing…another Photog? Resend, I must’ve deleted it thinking it was spam/virus shit. (I get about 600 crap e-mails like that daily, go me)

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 05/20/2004 7:49 PM

Awesome! B-Prime has ancient pie goodness! I hope you’re actually planning to eat one, Matt. Hell, I would…even after all these years. What’s the worst that could happen?

By the way, that was a really nice drawing of the pies… I almost took a bite out of my screen.

And if you wanted to replicate the pies, rather than painting them green with food coloring, I’d try making some green frosting that hardens after it cools and painting the pies with that. By the way, did you eat those pies you painted green? And if so, how were they?

Bleh.

To be fair, I happen to enjoy the hell out of the new TMNT Series, in fact, the new series is much more in line with the comics, and seeing as the comics were always far superior to the toned down kiddie faire of the 80′s and early 90′s they showed on TV, as an adult, I prefer the harder shelled turtles.
