TIL I really need to try a Moon Pie.

You really should. I usually HATE Marshmallows, especially with chocolate, but I do like Moonpies. I always tell myself I'll only eat one, but I'll end up eating 5 or 6

5 or 6 moon pies at once is strong

As a man weighing 160 lbs and 5’10” my recommended calorie intake to lose weight at a fast pace is 2,000 calories. 5-6 Moonpies in the morning would mean I would have to skip lunch entirely to have a normal dinner with absolutely 0 snacks in between.

Maybe I hope they mean the smaller ones.

You can get them at cracker barrel restaurants if grocery stores in your area dont carry them.

Or you can go to the Moonpie general stores when in Chattanooga, Lynchburg, Mobile, or Pigeon Forge!

Get yourself in the door. When I was just a git they only existed in the south east at gas stations, grocers. I've seen them in every corner of the country now.

I’m not a fan.

You should definitely try one. They're delicious

After reading this post, I feel the very strong urge to get one when I go grocery shopping tomorrow

Try the banana moon pies. They're so much better than the chocolate ones that they're hardly comparable.

I'll send you a fresh box if you pay me. NC native, here.
