Pumpkin Pie dilemma

So I made Libby's prepared canned pumpkin pie and the one where you add the ingredients to Libby's canned pumpkin. Whoops, something looked different when it was cooking. We tried it and I thought it didn't taste quite right and it was darker. Took me awhile to figure it out that I left out the sugar in it. So I told everyone to sprinkle it was a sugar and add lots of cool whip!
