[[File:Kooba Fruit Pie.png|thumb|right|315px|Kooba Fruit Pies in their wrappings. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fury of the Sky Witch! (comic story)|The Fury of the Sky Witch!]]'')]]'''Kooba Fruit Pies''' were an apparently highly delicious snack which existed in [[Reality Z-25 31-H]]. | |||
[[Gwenna (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Gwenna]] was among their enjoyers, and once brought a satchel full of them back from “the trading post” into [[the Naked Jungle]]. She ended up using them to lure [[Taho]] off her [[Pterosaur (The Fury of the Sky Witch!)|pterosaur steed]], which wound up eating them instead. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fury of the Sky Witch!

The Kooba Fruit Pies are an open-source stand-in for the [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Advertising/HostessFruitPies Hostess Fruit Pies], a brand which was the subject of many narrative ads in popular comic-books in the 1970s and 1980s (a similar joke was made in ''[[Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell (short story)|Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell]]'' where they were known as [[Stewardess® Fruit Pie]]). The name of “Kooba”, however, is taken from the public-domain “Kooba Cola”, an imaginary soft drink advertised in Fox Features Syndicate comic books as a test-run campaign; the [[Kooba Cola Corporation]] would go on to be referenced in other [[Jenny Everywhere]]-related works. As the “Kooba” brand is public-domain, Kooba Fruit Pies can reasonably be considered public domain. | |||
