Popular Culture
Cherry pie as a dish enjoys a strong history in the United States and is often regarded as a "great American dish". A cherry pie figures prominently in Billy Boy, a nursery rhyme. The popular song by Warrant named "Cherry Pie", from their album of the same name is regarded as one of the group's best songs. Three decades prior, Marvin & Johnny and Skip & Flip had a hit song by the same name but otherwise unrelated. In a Pepsi advert of the early 2000s, two truckers stop at a Diner and the one orders "Pie 'n a Coke" while the other orders "Pie 'n a Pepsi"; they switch beverages and the one with the Pepsi refuses to re-switch, the pie being the only thing the two truckers both like.
It is also a favourite side dish of Twin Peaks character Dale Cooper along with coffee.
