Turns out she baked it at 700 degrees.<br \/>Memes come out of nowhere, and they don&rsquo;t take holidays off. Last Thanksgiving, a Georgia grandmother named Sharon Weiss burned a Marie Callender&rsquo;s pumpkin pie, and posted a photo to the food company&rsquo;s Facebook page, bitterly writing, \u00ab\u00a0Thanks Marie Calendar for ruining Thanksgiving dessert.\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0<br \/>But this was no ordinary holiday dinner mistake. The pie in the photo looked like it had been dug out of the ruins of Pompeii. The crust was black, the filling was black, and in a delightful addition, the top of the blackened filling had been broken to show the softer &#8212; but still totally torched &#8212; filling underneath.\u00a0<br \/>Social-media users were quick to jump on the disaster, pointing out that even Yule logs don&rsquo;t get this burned, and they sit directly in the fireplace.<br \/>Sharon\u2019s Marie Callendar pie <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BurnedAlongWithTheYuleLog?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" data-component=\"externalLink\">#BurnedAlongWithTheYuleLog<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QnVdpJYzUp\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-component=\"externalLink\">pic.twitter.com\/QnVdpJYzUp<\/a><br \/>Here&rsquo;s the update you&rsquo;ve been burning for. Sharon Weiss and Marie Callender&rsquo;s have made up, and Weiss told me she now knows why her pie ended up looking like it was thrown into Mount Doom from <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"\/news\/amazons-lord-of-the-rings-prequel-series-everything-you-need-to-know\/\">Lord of the Rings<\/a><\/span>.<br \/>Entertain your brain with the coolest news from streaming to superheroes, memes to video games.<br \/>\u00ab\u00a0When I first took the pie out and saw how burnt it was, I immediately thought there was something wrong with either the pie or the directions,\u00a0\u00bb Weiss told me. \u00ab\u00a0My comment to Marie Callender&rsquo;s was impulsive.\u00a0\u00bb<br \/>Sharon Weiss has made up with Marie Callender&rsquo;s, and set her oven back to Fahrenheit.<br \/>But then Weiss tried to bake a Thanksgiving turkey breast, which also came out looking cremated, \u00ab\u00a0leading me to realize it may be a problem with the oven,\u00a0\u00bb Weiss said.<br \/>Before calling an appliance repair shop, Weiss&rsquo; husband, Josh, discovered the mistake was user error &#8212; exactly as the internet had declared.<br \/>\u00ab\u00a0Somehow, some way, the baking temperature had been changed from Fahrenheit to Celsius,\u00a0\u00bb Weiss told me. \u00ab\u00a0The result was that when I set the temperature to 375, it was actually closer to 700 degrees Fahrenheit.\u00a0\u00bb (707, to be exact.)<br \/>That&rsquo;s right &#8212; it wasn&rsquo;t Marie Callender&rsquo;s fault at all. Weiss&rsquo; simple pumpkin pie met its death in a SEVEN HUNDRED DEGREE oven.<br \/>Or &#8230; close to it. Most home ovens top out at around 500 degrees F or so, but even if Weiss&rsquo; oven didn&rsquo;t reach 700 F, it was still cranking out much more heat than that poor pie required.<br \/>\u00ab\u00a0We were able to return to Fahrenheit by just pushing a couple of buttons on the stove,\u00a0\u00bb Weiss said. \u00ab\u00a0Problem solved.\u00a0\u00bb<br \/>But before this Fahrenheit\/Celsius revelation, Weiss&rsquo; impulsive Facebook comment blaming Marie Callender&rsquo;s had gone viral online. People were using the Facebook \u00ab\u00a0marked safe\u00a0\u00bb designation to mark themselves safe from Weiss&rsquo; pie. Someone joked that Weiss would be asked to bring ice to the next holiday gathering, using a photo of charcoal to show \u00ab\u00a0Sharon&rsquo;s ice.\u00a0\u00bb<br \/>\u00ab\u00a0Did you get a free urn with the purchase of this pie?\u00a0\u00bb someone asked.<br \/>10. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rbrrSnTjdO\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-component=\"externalLink\">pic.twitter.com\/rbrrSnTjdO<\/a><br \/>Weiss got alerted early that her post had been noticed.<br \/>\u00ab\u00a0My daughter called me and said, &lsquo;Mom, you&rsquo;ve gone viral! All of my friends are asking if this is you!'\u00a0\u00bb Weiss said.\u00a0<br \/>But instead of sitting around fuming at her newfound fame, Weiss rolled with it. She called Marie Callender&rsquo;s, and says \u00ab\u00a0we collectively agreed to take my post down.\u00a0\u00bb And now you can&rsquo;t find a bigger fan of the company than the woman who once thought it ruined her Thanksgiving.<br \/>\u00ab\u00a0It was very clear to me from the beginning that they wanted to make things right,\u00a0\u00bb Weiss told me. The company posted a Christmas greeting joking about the burn, with the hashtag #SharonSomePie. And Weiss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MarieCallendersMeals\/posts\/4964814133542002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">filmed a video<\/a> for a company promotion for National Pie Day, displaying a giant timer and telling viewers to set their ovens for \u00ab\u00a0Fahrenheit, not Sharonheit.\u00a0\u00bb<br \/>We are thrilled to kick-off the Marie Callender\u2019s Sweepstakes Giveaway with our \ufeffNEW friend and everyone\u2019s favorite&#8230;<br \/>Happy Holidays and enjoy #SharonSomePie \ud83e\udd67<br \/>As for the infamous T-Day itself, Weiss says that once the oven temperature was switched back to the familiar Fahrenheit, she baked another pie (yes, Marie Callender&rsquo;s again), \u00ab\u00a0and it was delicious.\u00a0\u00bb<br \/>Not only that, but her family had a \u00ab\u00a0Thanksgiving redo\u00a0\u00bb a few weeks after the holiday. This time, her adult children took care of all the cooking and baking, \u00ab\u00a0and it was stress-free.\u00a0\u00bb<br \/>But what happened to the volcano-seared original pumpkin pie?<br \/>\u00ab\u00a0Actually,\u00a0\u00bb Weiss admits, \u00ab\u00a0the pie was put outside &#8230; and disappeared.\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/torched-marie-callenders-pie-became-a-meme-but-heres-what-really-happened\/\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A grandmother&rsquo;s disastrous Thanksgiving dessert went viral.
