As a youngster, my sugar vice was Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets. They’re still available but I’m scared to try them now as they’re sure to be disappointing when compared to my idealized memories!

Nowadays, don’t get between me and a Napoleon or properly made baklava. Or Crème brûlée. Or raspberry shortcake. Or Two Crust Slice of Calamondin Pie.

“something… something… something a Moon Pie an’ uh Arruh See Kokola.”*

*R C Cola

Maybe it was in a line from a Little Jimmy Dickens story.

My daughter lives in Nashvegas and since the birth of our first grandson our visits have increased exponentially. That has lead to an exponential increase in my consumption of ‘I’m goo goo for Goo Goo Clusters’. Like you Swease I am not a fan of marshmallow but the combo of other ingredients makes it worth it. If I don’t hit the Goo Goo store off Broadway during a visit I willfully overpay for the 12 pack at BNA on the way home….

I didn’t like Moon Pies either! Same reason: the marshmallow center. I occasionally still crave Raspberry Coconut Zingers though. Love GooGoo Clusters, but can’t eat the peanuts anymore, and the pecans ones are impossible to find. I should try at Buc-ee’s!

Microwave the moon pie for 20 seconds or so and enjoy the yummy goodness

Financial benefits rarely go to the inventor.

Percy Spencer received a $2 bonus from Raytheon for inventing the microwave oven.

Nikola Tesla ended his life in poverty.

Post facto but did anyone have Bud Cort on the Celebrity Dead Pool?

Have an RC Co-cola and a moon pie!

Same here Weasel, the graham crackers and marshmallow don’t work for me either. Too mega sweet.

I loved Moon Pies as a kid.

I can’t get anything from my childhood anymore. Everything here has either Ube, Sticky Rice (with bananas), or Durian.

I can’t eat the sugar anymore, anyways, so no big loss.

*sigh* I hate growing old.

@ExpressoBold Pureblood…a moonpie and an RC Cola…one of the delights of my childhood whenever daddy was stationed in the South. It’s a Dixie thing.

Mmm, childhood memories, Moon Pie & RC Cola.

Here in Mobile we drop a banana moon pie from the tallest building (not very tall) for New Years Eve countdown…

Never much for the Moon Pie but fine with Hostess Cupcakes and HoHos.

Probably explains a lot …

Drake’s (Hostess) Devil Dogs. Now that’s a snack.

Now, anyone want to discuss Cocoa Hermit recipes?

@ Tim Carlson – I used to eat durian when I was living in Malaysia. Must be the worst smelling fruit (banned in a lot of places there). I quite liked the taste. Do they have Chinese moon cake where you are?

@ Armybrat

That particular phrase is legend in Dixie!
