I made a shocking discovery this weekend on Twitter, a discovery that conveniently continues last week's theme of s'mores and babies. Ok, maybe not babies. But the discovery could well make babies cry. American babies, that is. And it all revolves around what comes from this magical box.
Or what doesn't, depending on where you live.
No, that's not apple in my McDonald's pie, and it's not cherry either. That's marshmallow and chocolate.
Oh ya, that's a s'more. The only thing that could make these better would be if they were deep fried like back in the day. Remember those? I just had a full-body happy shudder just thinking about them. It's sad to think of all the people that will never know the joy of the deep fried apple pies.
*wipes away tear*
Anyway, write your congressman or congress woman. Write to your senator. Hell, write President Obama, my American friends, because you can only get these in Canada. And that's just wrong. Heck, that's un-American.
*burp*

Aww, those apple pies were good. Didn't know about the s'more pies. Will check my McD's next time I am there...
ReplyDeleteNo fair.
ReplyDeleteLove the deep fried apple pies. Maybe we could get them to do it again and slip a slice of bacon in there. I'll start writing.
I'm moving to Canada!
ReplyDeleteummm you're not gonna believe this, but i will PASS on those smore pies. lol
ReplyDeleteWow! How unfair.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were my friend.
I don't think we have these in the East, or I've never heard of them, oh wait it's new, I just looked in that Pile of coupons from the mail and there it is, the S'mores Pie. I guess it will be a while. I'd rather have the apple.
ReplyDeleteFuck national health insurance, I want your S'mores. Damn it, Canada. You win again.
ReplyDeleteMcDonalds is a tool of the devil. I second Casey's comment :)
ReplyDeleteCanada's national anti-obesity legislation is on it's way!
ReplyDeleteAnd what about your British friends. What should they do? I'm a victim of neglect.
ReplyDeletedo they deep fry potato chips? Cause for THOSE, I would make the trip.
ReplyDeleteyou horders you! omg and you are not sharing...i see you sitting there with smores pies all hidding behind your collective backs....yeah, thats it....your all part of the collective...it is a conspiriecy I tell you!
ReplyDeleteLOL eat one for me....like I would only eat one!
I do cry when I reminisce about the good old days of deep fried fruit pies. The smores pie looks good, but waaayyyyyy sweet. I would be happy just to have deep fried back.
ReplyDeleteOh, the fried apple pie. How I miss those. That was one of only 2 things I would eat from McD's in the US. The other being their ice cream cones. An apple pie AND an ice cream cone? OMG! Heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI have to be honest and say that the s'more pie doesn't look all that good to me. It looks too sweet to me.
The McD's here (Germany) has a McCafe with the most amazing desserts. Seriously. They don't make up for the old school FRIED apple pie, but still, they kick that baked apple pie's ass.
That is so wrong.
ReplyDeleteDown here in Texas we deep fry everthing; pickles, candy bars, and yes pie!
Why don't you just rub our nose in it next time, eh?
ReplyDeleteI don't go to McDonalds, EVER. Now I see the error of my ways - when will they arrive in the Northeast?
ReplyDeleteIt's been a few years since I've been down there but I do believe they still have fried pies in the Southeast (you know: Alabama, Georgia and such). However, it's a localized phenomenon; a local company would make them and distribute them daily to the corner convenience store or the like. Those are the best. Fresh and fried.
ReplyDeletehtat was not nice to show to a pregnant lady ... no i'm craving one ... how far away is canada?
ReplyDeleteThe closest thing to a McDonald's fried apple pie is the Taco Bell Apple Empanada (deep fried love). A little bit of heaven from the past.
ReplyDeleteThat looks SO good! I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteI feel so deprived. Like I need it (not). But I want it. So bad.
ReplyDeleteWhat? That fattest country in the world does not have s'mores pies at McDs? That IS un-American.
ReplyDeleteJust couldn't let that one alone could you?! You're mean.
ReplyDeleteI miss those fried pies. And french fries deep fried in lard. Mmmm... those were the days.
ReplyDeleteWhat??? Only in Canada??? That's a crime.
ReplyDeleteOver here in Hawaii, the McDee's pies are filled with haupia (creamy coconut pudding).
ReplyDeleteTaunting others with these treats is irresponsible.
ReplyDeleteI made smores pancakes for my boys Sun. but used ice cream for filler because I didn't have any fluff. I will probably be nominated for mother of the year.
a full body happy spasm...lol. oh those apple pies...
ReplyDeleteFor your efforts, I give you this as a reward.
ReplyDeleteI'll be moving to Canada now...
ReplyDeleteAnd those poor Americans don't get to enjoy Kinder surprise eggs, either. It's sad...really sad.
ReplyDeleteYou are evil.
ReplyDeleteOh...it's so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDear Senator Carper......
Tease. Evil, hurtful tease.
ReplyDeleteShade and Sweetwater,
K
In Scotland they deep fry Mars bars. I thought that was disgusting but those S'mores look much worse.
ReplyDeleteI'd be jealous but my McDonald's pies are filled with bourbon. Okay. I do that myself. But still.
ReplyDeleteI WANT!
ReplyDeleteI can see the headlines now - Canadian border overrun by choco-craving Americans!
ReplyDeleteNo… you should write to Ray Crock founder of McDonald's (wait… he's dead).
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned the deep fried apple pies and my mouth watered! Those were so good. I wish they'd bring those back.
ReplyDeleteProof is in the pie. All good things come from the Great White North.
ReplyDeleteOh yummy, those smores pies are good.
ReplyDeleteYou had to go and give away yet another of our secrets!!!! Next you will tell them we don't get snow in the winter. Geesh!!!!
ReplyDeleteSome of the reasons for living in Canada are becoming more clear. I would only accept them in the US if the come complete with the French writing on the side as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is just wrong. I am texting Barak right now.
ReplyDeleteElse we might have to invade to get them.
naked snow runner, that isnt fair at all
ReplyDeletei might have just licked my screen
but i'm not telling
sniff...you had to remind me when McDonald's FRIED their apple pies. Those were the days. Best things.
ReplyDeletebtw, just read justsomethoughts comment above and think he may have eaten more than an apple pie with his McDonald's meal. Just saying...
Oh. My. God. I so want one of those! Are you sure it wasn't deep fried? I thought they fried all their pies.
ReplyDeleteAnd for Otter Thomas... in the US they'd be written in Spanish :(
OK, I might have to come visit, just to get one of those pies (or a case)
I am very jealous that you have these. Damn you Canadians to hell!!!
ReplyDeletedoes it come with a difibrillator?
ReplyDeletethat looks good. i want one!
ReplyDeletePure, heavenly, chocolately, marshmellowy goodness from the gods! I wonder if we have them here at the NY McD's, I will be finding out asap thanks to those pictures you posted!
ReplyDeleteS'mores pies? I think you guys stole those from us! We ALWAYS have smores when we go camping. It's as American as apple pie.
ReplyDeleteI'm not writing to my congressman. I'm writing to MickeyD! Traitors!
I just shorted out my keyboard...too much drool.
ReplyDeleteAs an unabashed fan of new products, especially ones that are unhealthy, I am in awe of this. I will be stalking my neighborhood Mickey D's.
All we got was the freakin' McRib.
Deep fried apple pie. Yummmm. That's why my arteries are clogged now, but I wouldn't pass up a single one. Let ME wipe a tear for us Americans who don't get the s'more pie. You're right . . . it IS so un-American.
