Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
There’s a link to a forum thread when you click on the page…
Basically, it was cut for being a stub (fewer than 3 tropes listed and well-described). In fact, I think it states that there were no tropes listed at all.

Strange. It used to have a modest number of examples, especially when it was parodied.

Checked through web archive, and it indeed had no tropes at all (at least when it was last archived in June
.
If someone can actually bother to add the tropes list, I think it can be restored, with description just copy-pasted from archive page.

Dusting this off after 5 months. The original page, Delicious Fruit Pies, had trope examples.
I'm not sure why it had its examples not transferred to Hostess Fruit Pies?

...There's another forum thread linked in the cut reason that answers that question. Delicious Fruit Pies was retooled into Parody Product Placement and several of those examples on the archive page are on there now. The Hostess campaign itself did not have tropes. You are always welcome to remake the page if you trope the ad campaign.
EDIT: I will lock this since the bump was also raised here.
Why was Hostess Fruit Pies cutlisted?
