Missed Opportunity: Hostess Fruit Pie Corps!

Category: Fun — By Kelson @ 10:49 am

This frivolous complaints about Blackest Night thread is a fun read. My favorite is on page 4, with these two comments.

Greg Owens:

Nekron was not defeated by the use of delicious Hostess Fruit Pies. Complete and utter failure on DC’s part.

ADGood:

Not just fruit pies, but a fruit pie corps. Seven different-colored pies to represent the flavor spectrum.

I can just imagine DC trying to work the low-rent villains and nonsensical plots from those Hostess ads that were all over late 1970s/early 1980s comics into modern continuity…only to make them all darker and edgier.

    Does that mean the Hostess counterpart to Liberty Belle would be Dolly Madison (Hostess bought out the Dolly Madison Co. and started selling Zingers under the Hostess brand name)?
