Who created the moon pies?

What-A-Mess

I have seen more than one TV program concerning this World Famous confection. Here is the skinny (one think you will not be if eaten regularly). http://www.moonpie.com/ http://www.moonpie.com/ or/and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_pie Jul 06 06, 3:24 PM

Supposedly, a bakery salesperson from Chattanooga, Tennessee named "Mr. Mitchell" visited a nearby coal mining town, and asked what kind of snack food the miners would like to eat. He was told that a popular confection involved graham crackers and marshmallows, and so he asked one of the local miners how big he wanted the snack to be. The miner made a circle with his hands and outlined the moon, which had risen in the sky at that time. "As big as the moon and twice as thick," he replied. Mr. Mitchell used this as the inspiration for the "moon pie." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_pie Jul 06 06, 4:20 PM
