An Instagram post from the official Marie Callender's social media account shares a video of "THE Kahlua Cream Cheese Pie!" being made, describing a "Velvety cream cheese pie with a chocolate cookie crust," infused with coffee liqueur. Fans in the comments section rave, "My favorite pie!," "The best pie," and "YES!! YES!! YES!!" Others lament the pie's limited availability, which seems to come and go just as the brick-and-mortar restaurant locations do.
Rewind to 2020, and the world was topsy-turvy. Yet, for Marie Callender's fans, there was an extra bone of contention: The shocking discontinuation of the humble Herb Roasted Chicken. This frozen meal was the definition of comfort cuisine, and honestly, with 450 calories for just $4.19, a total bargain. The exact motivations for the meal's untimely demise are uncertain. Its discontinuation was confirmed via Facebook, attracting a flurry of comments below.
Despite Marie Callender's stellar reputation as our favorite frozen pie brand, the frozen side dish that customers unanimously revile is the sweet corn casserole. The photo on the box depicts a luxurious hybrid between cornbread and corn pudding, but disappointed and disgusted reviews routinely declare "false advertising!" Customers on Reddit even felt that the corn casserole was an affront to all the senses. As one wrote, "The smell is gross. The taste is worse and the texture isn't good either."
