man- i haven’t seen a Table Talk Pie in years- do they still make them?

[mylife]

Dunno, Ms Cocaine is dead you know..

[corkoman]

I have never seen the name Cocaine used as a family name. That’s gotta generate a few awkward moments.

[Scarlett156]

“Mary and Christo Cocaine”......?

[Carriage Hill]

“Mary T. Cocaine”

I think I’d go to court and try to get my last name changed... just saying.

[Alberta's Child]

Eric Clapton wrote a song about her. :-P

[Born to Conserve]

Never heard of her.
Never heard of the company.
Never heard of Table Talk pies.

Must be a slow news day.

Must be a slow news day.

And yet here you are...

[Eccl 10:2]

Her friends called her “Crack”.

[Robert DeLong]

Mary T. Cocaine driving that train?

[dfwgator]

She don’t lie.

Let me speed up your boring day.

Table Talk was a very big name in the N E back into the 40/50 and in many house holds and kids and Dads lunch boxes as they had a small size pie.
Very good if I recall

I collect memorabilia and have a few of their metal pie trays/plate. 2 small and 1 large

Did a little googling, and it seems that this family did change their name... *to* Cocaine. They’re Greeks by the name of Kokkinis. They anglicized Kokkinis to Cocaine, though apparently younger members of the clan have, quite understandably, changed it back to Kokkinis.

[God luvs America]

Yes- i’m familiar with the tribute song Eric Clapton wrote for her..

[Larry Lucido]

There’s a headline you don’t see every day.

[Bob434]

At least her last name wasn’t “Lysergic acid diethylamide”
