Moon pie haul!!!

Moon pies have been made daily at the Chattanooga Bakery since the brand's inception on April 29, 1917. Earl Mitchell Junior said his father came up with the idea for moon pies when he asked a Kentucky coal miner what kind of snack he would like to eat, and the miner requested something with graham cracker and marshmallow. Popular folklore, repeated and encouraged by Chattanooga Bakery itself, states the miner then asked the snack be as big as the moon,[1] which inspired the name moon pie.

There is a custom for eating moon pies with RC Cola, although the origin of this is unknown.[2] It is likely that their inexpensive prices, combined with their larger serving sizes, contributed to establishing this combination as the working man's lunch. The popularity of this combination was celebrated in a popular song of the 1950s by Big Bill Lister titled Gimmee an RC Cola and a Moon Pie.[1] In 1973, NRBQ had a minor hit with the song An RC Cola and a Moon Pie.

Since New Year's Eve 2008, the city of Mobile, Alabama has been lowering a 12-foot-tall (3.7 m) lighted mechanical moon pie to celebrate the coming of the new year. The giant moon pie descends the 34 story RSA BankTrust building at the strike of midnight.[3] Every NYE, the world's largest moon pie is cut and served to the public as part of the festivities. It weighs 55 pounds (25 kg) and contains 45,000 calories (190 kJ).[4]

An annual RC Cola and Moon Pie Festival is celebrated in Bell Buckle, Tennessee, and a moon pie eating contest is held in Bessemer, Alabama.

On October 14, 2017, Matt Stonie, a competitive eater famous in national eating contests, ate 73 single-decker moon pies in eight minutes at the Bass Pro Shops store in Memphis, TN.

Newport, Tennessee held its first annual Moon Pie Festival in May 2012.

The company is celebrating its centennial anniversary with a My Favorite MoonPie Memory contest. The grand prize winner gets a 100-year supply of moon pies. It's also taking a wrapped Winnebago across the country in the Fall, thanking its top customers and attending various sporting events and festivals.

In September 2017, as part of its centennial, Moon Pie returned to the original recipe, replacing high-fructose corn syrup with sugar and removing preservatives and artificial colors and flavors. ~via WIkipedia

Give Me an RC Cola and a MoonPie (Soda Tasting #137)

In the southern United States, the combination of RC Cola and a MoonPie is legendary. No one is really quite sure how it started. According to the MoonPie website ( it was in the 1930s when the duo was first paired as the working man's lunch.

An NPR story ( indicates that one popular theory for this was because they came in bigger sizes than their competitors, giving you more bang for your buck. Workers could purchase a MoonPie and a 10 oz RC Cola for a nickel each.

In the 1950s, country artist Big Bill Lister released a song, RC Cola and Moon Pie. There is even an annual RC MoonPie Festival ( held in Bell Buckle, TN. This episode was recorded in LaGrange, Georgia, 43 miles away from Columbus, GA, where RC Cola was invented.

The RC Cola brand is owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group in North America and Cott Beverages elsewhere. MoonPie is produced by Chattanooga Bakery.

Update: This soda was bottled by Dr Pepper Bottling in West Jefferson, NC. That bottler is known for only using sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. This bottle was labeled in a way that suggested it had both - with sugar as the second ingredient and HFCS as the fifth. But, after giving them a call today, it appears that the bottle is incorrect. The person I spoke with was surprised the bottle existed and I am going to follow up with them.

Update #2: I followed up with the bottler and I was told that the reason it is on the bottle is because there is HFCS in it - there is 1% HFCS and 99% cane sugar. It comes from the syrup that is used.

I'm joined by my friend Brandon Eley ( who authored the book Online Marketing Inside Out (

Was the combination of an RC Cola and a MoonPie part of your childhood? Please let me know in the comments.

Moon pie

A moon pie or MoonPie is a confection, popular in parts of the United States, which consists of two round graham cracker cookies, with marshmallow filling in the center, dipped in a flavored coating. The snack is often associated with the cuisine of the American South where they are traditionally accompanied by an RC Cola. Today, MoonPies are made by the Chattanooga Bakery in Chattanooga, TN.
The traditional pie is approximately four inches in diameter. A smaller version exists that is approximately half the size, and a Double-Decker MoonPie of the traditional diameter features a third cookie and attendant layer of marshmallow. The four main flavors are chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana. Double Decker MoonPies also come in lemon and orange; MoonPie Crunch comes only in peanut butter or mint. In 2014, a salted caramel flavor was introduced.

In Chattanooga, Main Street Is A Prostitution Strip

In Chattanooga, Main Street is a revitalized arts district, a place to buy crack and a prostitution strip. Mapping Main Street, a new documentary project, follows a prostitutes story of love and addiction, a monks daily journey and a young homeowner's struggle on Chattanoogas Main Street.

This story is the first in a series for NPR's Weekend Edition called Mapping Main Street. Once you start looking, youll notice Main Streets are everywhere and tell all kinds of stories. Theres a Main Street in San Luis, Arizona that dead-ends right into the Mexican border. The Main Street in Navasota, TX is a gravel road in the middle of a field. Main Street is small town and urban center; it is the thriving business district and the prostitution stroll.

Mapping Main Street is a collaborative documentary media project that creates a new map of the country through stories, photos and videos recorded on actual Main Streets. The goal is to document all of the more than 10,000 streets named Main in the United States. We invite you to capture the stories and images of the country today. Go out, look around, talk to people, and contribute to this re-mapping of the United States. mappingmainstreet.org

Mapping Main Street is produced by Ann Heppermann, Kara Oehler, James Burns and Jesse Shapins. Additional help from Josie Holtzman, Sarah Pelligrini and Ian Gray. Mapping Main Street is a part of MQ2, an initiative of AIR, the Association of Independents in Radio Inc., with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The project is also supported with funds from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University.

Promo | Sweets Treats | Tennessee Crossroads | NPT

Any mention of sweet treats brings to mind a wide array of tasty delights. Perhaps you think of your favorite candy, cookie or ice cream, or even something a bit nuttier like candied pecans. With a variety of sweet ideas of their own, Tennessee Crossroads sent Joe Elmore, Gretchen Bates, Tressa Bush, Rob Wilds, Tammi Arender and Ken Wilshire all over the state looking for some of the best sweet treats Tennessee has to offer.

In Tennessee Crossroads: Sweet Treats, premiering on Thursday, December 9 at 7:00 p.m. on NPT-Channel 8 -- encore broadcast Sunday, December 12 at 10 a.m. -- Elmore and the crew buzz all over the state in search of the sweet life. Their stops range from the legendary, with a visit to Moon Pies in Chattanooga and Goo-Goos in Nashville, to the legends-to-be, as they drop in on Olive & Sinclair Chocolate Company in East Nashville and Lynchburg Cake and Candy Company in Lynchburg. They even sample the savory at Pennington Seed and Supply in Dyersburg.

From Memphis to Nashville to Chattanooga and the Tri-Cities, and several confectioners and bakeries along the way, the goal of the Tennessee Crossroads: Sweet Treats special is not to praise some delectable concoctions as being better than others, says Elmore, but rather to highlight both nationally-known and locally-favored treats, giving you a sampling of the many wonderful sweets being crafted down your street and across the state. It's an opportunity to experience the flavors and textures of Tennessee, and the history behind them, in a new way: the sweet way!
