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.

Rich pudding + Green Frosting=youth bliss (although I recall the color of the creme stuff actually being yellow). I still remember going to the Lucky’s Supermarket in L.A., buying 4 or 5 of these sweet treats. Mmmmm…..Ninja Pie. Bring it back!

Thanks Matt,
I’ve been hoping for a TMNT pie article for a long time! ^_^. I am a little disapointed that there’s no commercial download for this one. I miss that jingle. Those pies were delicious too. Vanilla pudding, pie-crust, and green icing, what’s there not to like?

Anyway, offer still stands on that kool-aid man comic I found.

I don’t remember the outside, but I’m seem to remember the pudding inside was ooze green. But I could just be insane.

The innerness of the pie was once Green. It was like a sugar orgasm, if I remember right. I remember the white-inside ones sucking because custard is inherent suckiness. I don’t remember what the greenness tasted like, though – I was 7?

Gotta love those pudding pies!

Just like in Charlie in the Chocolate Factory I only bought one. It was one of those episodes where I begged and pleaded for one. Finally got one. I do not remember much about it but I gaged on the filling. A little too rich for me. Guess I should have taken smaller bites.

I do remember at school they sold some chocolate piddin pies. I do not think they sold very many.

2nd post on this site. Ever.

TMNT II Was the first movie my dad (or any of my parents) ever took me to see. I had to use the washroom 13 times, aparently, I don’t remember. All I remember about the movie was the beginning where Shredder puts the ooze container back togeather or something.

Oh yeah, I never heard of the pudding pies before.

I remember eating those,becuase at the time I was a big Turtle fanatic,but didn’t get the toys becuase I was in a "toys are for little kids" phase I grew out of. I even remember getting one the night I saw TMNT II,right afterwards at a drugstore that is now part Christian bookstore.

I don’t remember what the other prizes were, but I mailed in enough UPCs for a TMNT turtle shell belt buckle/clip… with secret compartment!

Hey also MATT. I want to give you money to support the site.. you know the box of crap thing. I think you probably deleted my e-mails. I refruse to use paypal (paranoid). Is there a P.O. box or somthing?

Chestnuts roasted by zombone @ 05/21/2004 2:58 AM

Obligatory:

Are we going to see more of that Cobra Chia Plot in this lifetime?

Chestnuts roasted by Monster Dog @ 05/21/2004 3:27 AM

Good bonus story, but nothing can top the previous one where a turtle was turned into a cereal bowl. I’m laughing right now just thinking about that. "It’s raining fire" comes close, though.

What is wrong with April becoming a slutty teenager?

It’s called eliminating the middleman. Well at least in the live action ones anyway.

I remember these well. I’ve got a whole load of those cards around somewhere. All in a bag of useless cards that I’ll probably never look at again.

Except for my 70′s soccer card of Pele. NOONE TOUCHES MY PELE!

Hey Matt…here’s a non-TMNT-related question which I can only assume you’ve been asked before: is there such a thing as mass-produced XE t-shirts? If there was, i would buy one in a second, by golly. I’d buy a hundred, in fact…one for me to wear, and then the villagers would each wear one of the remaining ninety-nine in order to dupe El Guapo into thinking that there are 100 of me running around. So, um….t-shirts? Yes?

I guess Tunnel Rat took a break from raiding Cobra’s headquarters to retrieve the Chia so he could paint pies green…

YES 47th! FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!
=P stfu about being first. Do you win a fucking prize?! anywho, remembering when I was a huge tmnt fan and how I had to consume their entire product line, including that turtle pie brings me back. The first time I had eaten that pie I recall being very sick and induced vomiting. I wish I had another try at one, minus the beef fat used for retarding spoilage.

I used to go apeshit for those pies. I’d still eat them now if they existed. Please tell me they exist somewhere?

Chestnuts roasted by BaronVonHotPants @ 05/21/2004 10:08 AM

I’d sell my soul for a box of those treats. Satan, are you listening?????
