Cream Pie Cuteness Makes Pie Fight a Success
Last Friday's public pie fight was a phenomenal, messy success. This reporter (above) got hit hard, it seems, or added more cream to her camera-ready face for the cameras. We're sorry we missed this, but again, as we used to whine in elementary school to avoid any water-balloon mayhem or recreational sporting activity, "Don't! Dude, our mom's going to kill us if we get our clothes dirty."
Laughing Squid has an brilliant comment commencing their post on the same topic. Someone classically bitching about the mess made and the mass selfishness on the pie fighters' end. And we couldn't agree more. Next time, let's take the action inside, yes? Bloomingdale's, the Ferry Building, a Board of Supervisors meeting, Zeitgeist's beer garden during happy hour, Otis on a Saturday night, and...anyplace else we're forgetting?

Splurt!
Can you spot the three missed targets?
Cutie!
Oh my. Hello there, guy on the right.
Let's do this again. Soon.

This was not an eco-friendly event.
The cream used on most of the pies was redi-whip, and "Twinkies cream". It will take hundres of years to bio-degrade.
The stuff is probably well on its way, floating to that giant patch of plastic waste in the middle of the ocean.
Who says having fun in san francisco is dead.
@mariconsoy
1) redi-whip is edible and therefore extremely biodegradable.
2) the cream used in most of the pies was not Redi-Whip.
your original point may well be correct but thanks for disregarding any kind of integrity when making your case.
What I want to know is this: why wasn't Cool Whip used? Cool Whip is the superior whipped cream, even miles above homemade.
Also, what the hell is in Cool-Whip?
You're not supposed to ASK what's in Cool Whip. You're just supposed to enjoy its cool, refreshing tastiness.
Besides, you really don't want to know.
Cool Whip is 75% cool and 15% whip. The remaining 10% is beef by-product and a natural glistening agent.
Cool Whip is made of: Acetone, water, propylene carbonate, dimethyl glutarnate-adipate-succinate, and geletin all spun in a giant cotton candy type furnace.
Oops, that's the receipe for nail polish remover, Cool Whip's close cousin. Sorry.
"Cool Whip is made of water, corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated coconut and palm kernel oil (CPKO), sodium caseinate, vanilla extract, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60 (glycosperse), and beta carotene.[1] In some markets, Cool Whip is available in an aerosol can using nitrous oxide as a propellant.(Canada)[2]
According to a recent Wired Magazine article, consumers are paying 41 cents per ounce for mostly water and air; twice the cost of homemade whipped cream."
Jas,
Is the beef by-product Kosher?
I'm still laughing from reading your table of contents. Love the glistening agent touch.
this is getting ridiculous. whats next? a thumbwrestling tournament at 6th and Market?
talk about pretension.
A. this was all shaving cream.. sorry to rain on the cool whip party.
B."innersunsetfrog" your too-good-for-your-pie-fight attitude is pretentious.
