It actually says one slice of pie, and there are eight slices to a pie. If you can't make your own Key Lime pie, Edwards is nearly as good.

A Key Lime pie is the easiest thing in the world to make, and according to Walmart's website they sell fresh Key Limes at the local Walmart. I've tried the bottled Key Lime juice sold at Publix and it isn't very good.

Key Limes are green when they are immature, and turn yellow when ripe. A greenish-yellow lime will work, but yellow is better and will have more juice. Key Limes are quite small, so you want juicy ones. You'll need five or six.
