I know it's a southern thing, but is there really anything better than a double-decker Moon Pie?

God's gift to snack cakes.

I like both Chocolate and Banana...RC is good too for a change.

Man, I love Moon Pies....

I went to Nashville last month and ventured down to the Jack Daniels distillery, right by the JD gift shop was a Moon Pie store that had strawberry, those were pretty good but banana is still my favorite

Just chocolate for me. I don’t like artificial banana in any form.

This northeast guy likes moon pies. Don’t see them too often but when I do I’ll grab a few to treat myself and the kids.

Only if there was nothing left to eat. Even then you eat the cookie sides and throw the middle in the trash. Peanuts and a Pepsi was better.

Yeah, Moon Pies for dessert, but viennie sausage on crackers for the main course.

I never liked any of that snack stuff... moon pies, little Debbie

In my early 20's I lived on Diet RC cola. I hated returning the bottles. Now I don't drink any kind of soda at all. Iced tea and coffee for me.

The trick is to heat the marshmallow without melting the chocolate......

Double cola and a chick-o-stick is an old favorite as well

RC Cola is just fine but I never cared for Moon Pies because I'm not a big fan of marshmallow fillings.

Around here it was banana Moon Pies and Orange Crush soda for some reason.

I typically despise marshmallows, but a moonpie is an exception. Favorite way to eat it is a quick microwave and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, preferably Blue Bell.

Moon pie and RC mixed with Southern Comfort.

You’re welcome.

I hear jokes about this all the time but I've NEVER seen anyone down this combo. Maybe I'm too far north.

Another poster mentioned microwaving them and as I was reading it, my wife was saying the same thing as I was reading it. I have never done it, but Imma try it now~

She states on microwaving them, here's the protocol:

1) Use only chocolate MP's
2) 10-15 seconds and NO more
3) Must be centered in the microwave to avoid melting the chocolate.

That's funny because Double Cola and Moon Pie are both headquartered in Chattanooga TN, (or at least Double Cola used to be back in the 80's).

I haven't had a DC in 35 years.

I ate a chocolate one the other day.

Haven't had an RC cola in a while, but I do like it.

Hard to find RC Cola now (grew up on that pair), so I get a double decker moon pie and Coca Cola every time I go to Bass Pro.

Redneck coctail, and they had to be Tom's peanuts. We used to "travel" with the city-of-origin molded into the bottom of the bottle. Make a bet, usually with a nickel and the city fartherest away won the pot.

We did the same thing.

Damn...I still have some bottles around here from defunct Coke bottling plants,

I think I had one from Rockwood TN and Dayton TN.

I like the banana not the chocolate and yes something about it going down with an RC just feels right.

I am a fan of both. If someone asked if moon pies are good I usually lead with telling them I broke my wrist for a box once. I used to be able to find RC cola 2L bottles in the dollar stores, but i haven't looked in a while.

We eat them with Ale-8-One. nanner moon pie and an Ale8 is pretty good.

I drunk a lot of RC growing up, even had it with moon pies pretty often.

I haven't had a moon pie or RC in a long time.

I see your location is WA, that's probably why you're not familiar with it...Probably too far west to be available.

It is basically two very soft, graham flour cookies, with a slab of marshmallow between the cookies and then coated in usually chocolate or banana coating.
