Sharon Burned Her Pie Then Ended Up Burned By The Internet

Thanksgiving dinner can go sideways fast, especially when one small kitchen mistake turns into a full-blown internet spectacle. Sharon Weiss learned that the hard way after a pumpkin pie went from ready-to-bake to completely charred.

She blamed Marie Callender’s on Facebook, but the real story got messier once people started weighing in with jokes, memes, and plenty of secondhand embarrassment. What began as a burnt dessert quickly became a viral pile-on, and the screenshots only made it worse.

By the time the dust settled, Sharon’s pie was not the only thing getting roasted.

Oh Sharon, you never knew what would come of this

Marie Callender's showed up with some excellent customer service, though

Pointing out the obvious

Honestly, how did she think she could blame Marie Callender's for ruining Thanksgiving?

"You do know the fire alarm isn't a timer, right?"

Imagine living before memes; we wouldn't be able to enjoy this

In this day and age, it's best to do things privately to avoid becoming meme fodder

Poor Sharon, getting roasted worse than the pie

This is similar to the Thanksgiving guest showdown after someone refused to share the family’s secret pie ingredient.

Oh, the irony

Maybe she set the oven to broil?

Can we blame Marie Callender's for everything?

Can a cooking screw-up now be called "a Sharon"?

Celsius vs. Fahrenheit is a massive difference

Marie Callender's and Sharon teamed up!

Sharon Weiss eventually did an interview and claims the issue was that her oven was set to Celsius, not Fahrenheit, causing her to bake the pie at roughly 707 degrees Fahrenheit. She acknowledged that her comment was impulsive, and instead of being upset over her newfound fame as the butt of jokes, she contacted Marie Callender’s directly, and they worked together to take down the original post while still marketing the mistake in a fun way.

So, here’s to Sharon and her cremated pie. May she have her oven fixed and future pies unscathed.

If this made you laugh, be sure to share this with your friends and family!
