Real key lime pie?  Or that bastardization of key lime pie made with condensed milk?

Not sure, but I  can tell the difference of of what I got in FL vs. Walmart or other posers.  Tint of the pie filling sometimes, but not always is a clue. 

I've got a high end bakery nearby that pretty much nails it.  $20 (and a once a year treat) , and you sure can tell the difference....  Real Key lime has a unique tang.

Here's an incredible fact:  One cubic mile of air at sea level weighs 5.8 million tons.

@ChemEngrMBA

Your calculation is off.  I'll even give you the benefit of assuming that all the air is at sea level pressure, and not in a cube 1 mile high - let's say off the coast of Miami or Key West.  It's fairly hot there, so we can assume an air temperature of 86°F (30°C) which for wet ocean air would yield a water saturation pressure of 0.0419 atm.  This yields a molecular weight of 28.51 g/mol.

I won't bore you with the math, but the number comes out to only 5.266 million US tons, which gives you an error rate of over 10%.

My Florida-native wife is a bonafide key lime pie snob.  A real key lime pie requires hours to make with LOTS of stirring.  99.9% of the known world avoids all that by using condensed milk.

My wife has tried at least 5 recipes that claim to be authentic, and she just told me  she didn't see any that didn't require condensed milk.  The best one she did, required squeezing 10 pounds of key limes,instead of concentrate.  Seeds and all   Said she wasn't going to do that again.,   My local bakery does the best.  And at $20, I was guessing it wasn't easy or cheap. 

Don't think they'll give me the reciepe either.

Sorry gang, all I got is a stupid quote from the 80s movie Revenge of the Nerds.... "That's My Pie !"
Exodus 18:21 Furthermore, you shall select out of all the people able men who fear God, men of truth, those who hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders over ....
