Sharon’s Burnt Marie Callender Pie became an internet sensation in November 2021 after a woman named Sharon posted a photo of a completely charred pumpkin pie on Marie Callender’s Facebook wall. She blamed the company for 'ruining her Thanksgiving,' despite the pie clearly being left in the oven for hours beyond the recommended time. The post immediately went viral, spawning thousands of comments defending the brand and mocking Sharon’s lack of accountability. The meme is now a staple of holiday internet culture, used to satirize people who refuse to take responsibility for their own obvious blunders by blaming external forces.
