National Pie Day January 23rd

National Pie Day

The first pies appeared around 9500 BC in the Egyptian Neolithic period or New Stone Age.

Here's a fun Tid-BitPie throwing:
Cream filled or topped pies are favorite props for humor.  Throwing a pie in a person’s face has been a staple of film comedy since Ben Turpin received one in Mr. Flip in 1909.

National Pie Day was created by the American Pie Council.  The American Pie Celebration began in 1986 to commemorate Crisco’s 75th anniversary of “serving foods to families everywhere”.
