About Us

Have you ever had one of these tasty treats of chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallow? 

MoonPies actually originated in Chattanooga, Tennessee!

It all began back in 1917. A Kentucky coal miner requested one of their traveling salesmen for a snack “as big as the moon.” The bakery obliged with a snack named MoonPie, a filling treat that fit nicely in a lunch pail, making it a favorite among coal miners.

MoonPies grew in popularity and are still in high-demand over a hundred years later!

 

“Gimme an RC Cola and a MoonPie”

The unlikely pairing of RC Cola and MoonPies has captured the hearts of Americans for nearly a century. Originating in the 1930s, the “Working Man’s Lunch” of an RC Cola and a MoonPie could be purchased for just a dime, making it an affordable option for coal miners and laborers.
