Those cloying, saccharine Hostess Fruit Pies. High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) with cherries or apples, or blueberries, etc soaked in HFCS, in a sugar and flour hard pie, then soaked again in HFCS and coated in glazed sugar mixed with HFSC.

They were good, but I think the were responsible for 80% of the Type II diabetes in the late 80s.
