Why do old people like pie?

It’s hard to find a good pie in stores these days.

My non-old husband loves eating pie.

My teens and college aged kids do too.

Because it's easy, OP.

I like quiche, and lasagna and things with crusts. They're very caloric, so I don't make them often. I don't like the store-bought stuff.

Maybe because it is less sweet than other desserts. Certainly less sweet than cake, a rich brownie, or cookies.

I love pie.
I prefer it to cake -- have had birthday pie for years.

Loved it since I was a kid... but now I am old... so I guess I still fit the profile

As someone who just had all four wisdom teeth removed, I appreciate pie because it’s easy to eat when your teeth are “compromised”! It makes a good breakfast, dessert or afternoon snack.

Really, people being excited about pie is some kind of age-based weirdness? What else ya got, OP?

When you’re old they’ll wonder why old people love macarons and matcha tea.

Why wouldn't EVERYONE love pie, is my question! It's so delicious. And if you get a fruit pie, it's basically a salad.

Mushy? Soft?

Why are some of you people settling for crap pie crust? Crispy, flaky, and fabulous -- that's a pie crust.

Try Pie Gourmet in Vienna.

I’m in my 40s and like pie, my teenage kids love pie though. I guess they didn’t get the memo that it’s for old people.

Because they know good food when they see it! Pie is delicious and 1000x better than cake.

Most everyone loves pie! God am I sick of these idiotic questions.

+1. Pie is delicious and I have liked it my whole life. It’s not an old person thing. But our area doesn’t have great pie (I have tried the DC and NoVA stores - expensive and mediocre). Mom’s Apple Pie Company in Leesburg is delicious though! Wish it weren’t so far away.

Flaky and crispy is still soft. Easy for old people to eat. Are you eating crunchy pies?
