That sounds like it would taste pretty good, but I just have no desire to stand in the blazing hot parking lot of a Costco with a group of strangers all furiously wolfing down a pound of chocolate pie each lol

It's stated there you will have to be fast, so just be fast.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

Maybe I'll just bring a Tupperware so I can eat it at home like a human being

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

Excuse me, but it's peanut butter chocolate pie.

I mean, this kinda sounds like it just needs an okay car stereo and a hot dog cart and it's a party.

I actually freeze slices of those cakes. It lasts months

bro has never heard of refrigeration

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But it's 118°C outside. No one survives once they leave the store.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

I think it's 118 in "third world and America" degrees.

Maybe bro hasn't heard of self control.

This seems like a parody of how Costcos in Mexico have a whole mob of customers come in at opening every day to fight over the pies & cakes, which all get immediately bought up, to be re-sold by individual slices at marked-up prices at local ~~bakeries~~ delis.

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't it take less time and money to just bake them? They're just pies. It's not like the recipes are secret. I could see a deli doing that but not a bakery.

If you already have the whole bakery all you need is some butter, flour, sugar, and eggs. And you can advertise "Not from Costco!" pies.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Yes it's probably about deli owners. not bakery owners.

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Seems like there's a large underserved market

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Are they still selling this? If so, I think I'll need to make a Costco trip soon

[–] Legge@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Some Costcos have stopped (they rotate pie options throughout the year) but you might be able to find them still

[–] rubicon@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

I'll meet you there, and I have an extra fork so you don't need to bring one

[–] supernicepojo@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

I bought one of these earlier this year. I still have a 1/4 of it left. Its rich and dense, eating more than a slice in one sitting will make you question how many calories you can eat in a day.

That sounds like a nice way to lose your kidney.

[–] Zelet@beehaw.org 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You’re responsible for the fork, ~~kidney,~~ and plate. I’ll bring the knife.

[–] RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just having critters to split things with would make so many things more tryable :-\

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Be fat, be happy, die young. Enjoy that whole pie.

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

After more than 2 slices of that, I would not be happy anymore.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

That's why you eat it as 1 whole slice. LPT taps head

[–] Shelbyeileen@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I will tell you, it's the most delicious pie ever, but you can't eat more than 1/8th at a time without feeling blah. The good part is that it can be frozen and it's BETTER after freezing. Like a pie made of resees ice cream.
