The game revolves around the gag of getting a pie in the face. There is a mechanical device with an arm that holds a sponge that you cover with shaving cream to simulate the pie. On your turn you place your face in the target area of the device spin the spinner and twist the handle that number of times, much like a slot machine you never can be sure when the payoff will come. You then score pts for the number you spun if you don’t get the pie in the face.

From the rulebook:
"Billy Blueberry, Annie Apple, Jerry Cherry, and Peach Melba are having a pie-eating contest, and you're feeding them. You want to be the first player to fill your character's mouth with three pieces of his or her favorite pie!"
The board for this game is built into the box and it uses a cardboard backdrop to depict the 4 pie eaters with their mouths open. Pie pieces (3 of each flavor) are mixed and inserted into box slots to form a pie and hide the flavors. On your turn you draw a pie piece from a slot. If it is the flavor that your character likes, you insert the slice into character's mouth. If it's another player's flavor, you return to the pie. If you draw the Dirty Sock pie piece, you return it and one of your own slices to the pie. The first player to fill their character's mouth with all three of its matching pie pieces wins.

(Both Youtube and Boardgamegeek suggest it actually dates back to 1964.)
