On the list of important winter holidays, Pi Day falls somewhere between New Year’s Eve and Squirrel Appreciation Day (January 21). Each year, when March 14—get it…3.14?!—rolls around, people celebrate a mathematical constant and all the foods that sound like it. It’s like how May the fourth became Star Wars Day, except far more delicious.
Local business—including Amorphic Beer, Lakefront Brewery, and a pack of area pie purveyors—will be getting in on the Pi Day fun with events and dessert-themed promotions galore. It’s going to be a fun, loosely-math-based day of sweetness and celebration. To help get you in the Pi Day spirit, we spent about 3.14 minutes rounding up a bunch of classic Bakers Square commercials that span approximately 40 years.
Though there are no longer any Bakers Square locations in Milwaukee (or Wisconsin for that matter), the struggling Midwest-based chain’s beloved pies can still be procured at select Famous Dave’s locations, including the Greenfield store. Happy Pi Day! Build up an appetite by watching these vintage Bakers Square commercials, then get out there and grab a slice or two from a local pie place.
