How do I throw a pie?
My school is having a fund raiser tomorrow and we will be throwing pies at the teacher. I don't want to waste money missing. How should i throw the pie? Is it like throwing a baseball or do is there a special way to hold it so you can have the best aim?
Answers:
Step 1:
Pick up pie.
Step 2:
Hold it like your a waiter/waitress carrying a tray.
Step 3:
Aim.
Step 4:
Throw straight with force at target. Be sure you don't throw so it curves in the air.
First you should be licensed and take a few classes so no one gets hurt. lol
Seriously though, I would just make sure I had a firm grip on the bottom and lob it at the teacher like a basketball. Maybe practice with some wet sponges stapled to a paper plate or saran wrapped to a plastic plate or aluminum pie pan tonight. That way you will not have to get used to the weight and shape of it while you are competing tomorrow.
If it is just whipcream in a tin, doesn't matter because its going to be too light to have any accuracy. Real pies are better and you need to throw them at a higher arc so if the contents fall out, then they will fall into the target. Kinda lob it...

First off...don't throw a pie!!!
Make sure it is whipped cream or even shave cream.
Center the pie in your palm, (DO NOT try to throw it like a baseball, basketball, football, or any other kind of ball you would think of). This kind of mentality will get you nowhere but the poor house. Again, center the pie in your palm, imagine a waitress with a tray of food. Next get a good reading on your target of choice, (distance, angle, wind speed, etc...) If you've ever played any sports, you should have no trouble with this. For the actual throw, you'll want to more or less push the pie away from you. Imagine your pushing someone with one arm. You need to be within 10-15 feet of the intended subject. This method is incredibly accurate, and also ensures a clean and even hit, directly at the spot you intended.
Remember, the most important thing is putting yourself in the mindset, I WILL hit this person in the face with a pie... and then...do it!!!!!!
ok. put your hand underneath the pie tin just like you were holding a pizza box and them hold up your arm and swing your arm like you going to throw a ball at a baseball game ans throw that pie as hard as you can.
If you have the option of getting up close, the best way is to sneak up from behind, reach around the person, and just sort of turn it up into her face. Like you were offering her a whiff and then turn it up into her face.
If you have to actually throw it from afar, well, I've never done it that way, so the other answers seem pretty good.
