Pumpkin Pie Smashing in Holiday Poll

Pumpkin Pie out-polled defending champion Mashed Potatoes and two-time victor Stuffing in the 4th Annual Down the Backstretch Thanksgiving poll conducted over the holiday weekend.

Pumpkin Pie garnered 33% of the votes to out-pace Stuffing, the 2007 and 2008 champion, which gathered 22% of voters. Turkey, the Thanksgiving centerpiece which has never won the holiday poll, finished 3rd with 18% of the vote.

Mashed Potatoes were a disappointing 4th with 13% of the votes only one year after its victory in the contest. Cranberries, 8%, and Gravy, 4%, finished well back of the leaders.

Pumpkin Pie coach Billy Corgan, when informed of the desert's victory, said, "Today is the greatest day I've ever known. Can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow's much too long."
