"1991 ushered in a junk food so incredibly strange that its name lives on in infamy to this very day: "Ninja Turtles Pies," from Hostess, modified the pastry leader's beloved pudding pies with a radioactive green crust and "vanilla puddin' power." The pies were absurd, obscene beasts, impossible to resist due to the TMNT-inspired packaging and all the promises of free trading cards. I couldn't stomach the thought of biting into these bulbous, gooey masses of unknown terror, but I still picked 'em up at every opportunity for the damn wrappers and cards. With consumer interest boosted by an animated commercial featuring the Turtles' promising that their snacks were "fresh from the sewer," kids went nuts for the green pies from outer space." -- http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0898/
