Today is March 14th or 3\/14, so it’s International Pi Day!\u00a0 Pi Day is the celebration of mathematics (or 3.14… the\u00a0ratio of a circle\u2019s circumference to its diameter).\u00a0\u00a0 But here at CollectingCandy.com, we figured we could best mark the day with some actual candy-related pie boxes!<\/p>\n

I’m a candy packaging collector so I don’t collect every candy-related thing I see, but I did think to save these pie boxes a few years ago and I’m glad I did.\u00a0 Today I can share with you this neat trio of candy-related dessert pie boxes in honor of Pi Day.\u00a0 So let’s get to ’em.<\/p>\n

First up are a pair of boxes that I got while grabbing drive-thru at my local Burger King.\u00a0 These may have both been available at the same time, or it’s possible that one replaced the other – I don’t recall.\u00a0 But they come out in 2010 for a limited time, and I can tell you they were both delicious.<\/p>\n

The next piece I have to share is one I picked up at the grocery store, but I’m sure it caught my eye because of my happy experience with the BK pies.\u00a0 This is from the Schwan’s Food Company and it’s the box for their Reese’s Pie!<\/p>\n

I did find one more pie at the store the night that I found the Reese’s, and though it wasn’t candy-related, I thought you’d enjoy seeing the box for it today.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything I’ve got to share for this mathematically-themed holiday.\u00a0 Hope everyone enjoys some Pi today… or maybe just some delicious pie!<\/p>\n

See you next time!<\/p>\n

I’d like to send you off with one of my favorite cartoons from my pal, Dan Goodsell:<\/p>\n
