McDonald's Funfetti Pie???

It's a scalding hot sort of pudding/custard. Delish, for fast-food-fare, by the way.MiamiSeoul wrote: »

Oooh, I remember visiting this company a booth at the Natural Products Expo this past September! They gave out free pops to everyone that passed by. I got a strawberry one and was really impressed, especially since I don't normally like strawberry ice cream treats. Haven't bought them since then, though, since the only place near me that sells them is the Fresh Market, and their prices there absurdly high.1 -

Only 250? I would have expected much more, to be honest.3 -

When/where is it going to be available anyway? Can't find the information anywhere. Will be curious about reviews though.
Guessing it's tiny for the calories, lol.2 -

The Impulsive Buy has a review from 2010. I saw another from 2013 too, I think.
Something like this will ALWAYS be too tiny for the calories.
I pass a couple Mcdonalds on my evening walks. Depending on the goodies we get at work, and if I can actually have the will power to not eat any of it, I'll probably stop off to see if they're selling it and, hell yeah! Grab one.

Probably not new but it was on sale so...
Really tasty.2 -

I'll admit, I work at McDonald's and I love it.
We've had the Holiday Pie in my store (I work at one in Maryland) for MONTHS now, and it is really really good! I'll be honest, I don't like it as much as the Pumpkin & Cream pie we discontinued, but if I had to describe it it's like a sugar cookie crust with a boston kreme filling. It's not good unless they just made it though, so if you go to a store and it's been sitting out for a while don't bother. It's surprisingly not as sweet as you'd expect it to be, but it's very good and quite filling for a tiny pastry!
Unfortunately my store never got the egg nog base for the milkshakes this year, now THAT was something I was looking forward to. I tried the egg nog shake once several years ago (a ton of calories as you can imagine) and it was so great.4 -
So how pissed off would you workers get if someone asked to have it freshly made? Would you actually do it or lie and say you did it and give the person one that's been sitting out? Or spit in the filling?

81 grams... Not too bad really considering the standard protein bar is about 60g.
is it the same size as the apple pie?0 -

Now I wonder why it doesn't show up on their website. I want to try it, lol. Although that review is a bit of a downer. I absolutely LOVE good custard.0 -

So how pissed off would you workers get if someone asked to have it freshly made? Would you actually do it or lie and say you did it and give the person one that's been sitting out? Or spit in the filling?
That really all depends on the individual employee and how busy the store is. If you go in the middle of a really busy rush, then they probably will just give you whatever they have (and hopefully it would be fresh since they generally are constantly putting them in as it is something customers order quite a bit of). If you go when they're really slow, then I don't see why even the laziest employee wouldn't throw a couple in for you! But again, each person is different and while I'm passionate about making sure people love the food just as much as I do, I can't say the same holds true for everyone else and I've seen some VERY lazy coworkers lie about the freshness of the pies before, sadly. As for spitting in the filling, I don't think that would be an issue. They're frozen pies that we heat up in the oven, so we don't really see the filling at all and if someone spit on it then you'd clearly be able to tell! I've seen some rude customers but never before have I seen someone spit in a single thing, thank goodness (and making a special request like this isn't rude, it's something I'm sure the employees there could relate to).
If you really want to make sure it's fresh, go in the store and watch them put them in for you. If you go through the drive through then you never really know what you're going to get since it does take about 10 minutes for the pies to cook, so if you go right through and get one either you got lucky and they just came out anyways or they could have lied.Noreenmarie1234 wrote: »joshperson195 wrote: »When/where is it going to be available anyway?

Yes, same exact size! And I don't really consider Maryland a southern state, I thought it was more eastern but I could be wrong. Either way, never hurts to check with your local store!2 -

LOL I was half joking but it's probably a moot point anyway since I'm in California and since when doesn't California get fun stuff like this?!

I hate that too! Lol. But it really tastes good. The chicken tastes better than the normal Smart Ones meals.

I'm in Michigan and I know I had them last year. I haven't been to a McDonalds since I started on here but if anyone is really dying to know I can drive by and see.
They are delicious. The custard is delicious. They are a decent size. Definitely not tiny.

I like that it has fewer presevatives and fillers, but dislike that projects itself as being as healthy as, say, an Amy's frozen meal, when the chicken is likely of no better quality than those that go into Stouffer's or Marie Calendar's meals.singingflutelady wrote: »lindsay_1979 wrote: »

Ok, so, Southern California has the McDonald's holiday pies. After careful contemplation:
Me: Glassyo, don't stop into McDonald's. They're only selling them in the south anyway.
Me Again: *eyeroll* Who am I kidding? Of course, I'm going to stop in and see if they have them!
So I did and they did and I bought one even tho me and the see's candy were having an affair today.
My first reaction was: Holy Mother of God, the pastry part is freakin' delicious!
My second reaction was: Holy Mother of God, why didn't you let the insides cool before taking a bite?!
My third reaction was: Why do you keep you taking bites when the filling is still really hot, you masochist?!
Sooooooooooooo I really liked the pastry part. Seriously, give me all the pastry all the time. The filling was good (but HOT!) but there was something off about the taste and I'm not sure why.
It's a good size pastry too.
I'm glad I tried it and now I don't need to buy another one. Unless they make one that's solid pastry. Because I am sooooooooooo there for that and the outrageous calorie count that would ensue.

Finally got to trying these. Not bad at all. Didn't have high hopes but I was pleasantly surprised. I really loved this flavor and only 150 calories for 10g protein, not bad for being vegan. Tasted almost the same as the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie larabar but with a few "crisps" in it. I would buy again or try the other flavors.
Nice. Thanks for the review. I've been eyeing a $3 coupon from coupons.com for these bars, but I wasn't sure if I should try them out. I don't like peanut butter, but I'll be sure to try the S'mores and/or Cookie Dough flavors.0 -

Dear McDonald's,
I would happily give up Shamrock Shakes in January for Holiday Pies in the Philadelphia area today.
Love and Kisses,
