Exotic, Erotic and a Little Psychotic
Moon Pie: Modern-day pastry food, invented during the first half of the 20th century. It consists of two graham crackers shaped into round cookies, with marshmallow filling in the center. The confection is then dipped in chocolate (or other flavors).Moon pies are seen as a unique creation of the United States' South, where they have been a perennial favorite since their inception. Moon pies reached the peak of their popularity during the 1950s, when many workers bought them as an inexpensive snack to tide their hunger for a while.
Around this time, the typical cost of a moon pie was about five cents, and a soda to drink was also a nickel. The popular legend of moon pies states that R.C. Cola became the drink of choice to accompany a moon pie, because a serving of R.C. Cola was typically larger than a serving of Coca-Cola or other sodas. The combination of "an R.C. Cola and a moon pie" became inseparable.
