Are Moon Pies one of the few items that have not succumbed to inflation?

Have been making my way through watching King of Queens and saw a few episodes of Doug packing them to bring to work. Came across one in a vending machine this morning. 85 cents and as big as my hand. Seems like they are bigger than I remember and only a few cents more expensive

I learned recently that there's a RC Cola-MoonPie Festival held in Bell Buckle, Tennessee every year. 10 mile and 5K races that morning as well. The next one is June 15th, 2024.

quote:

This wacky, fun for the whole family event celebrates the South’s original fast food – an ice cold RC Cola and a fresh MoonPie. Smiling visitors from all over the world (we can prove it cause there’s a “who travelled the furtherest contest!) stream into the downtown area where they find plenty of music, cloggers, weird but fun contests, MoonPie games, and a colorful parade just to name a few of the many things that occur throughout the day.

because Moon Pies are awful. Nobody is paying extra for them.

Moon Pies


Unpopular opinion, especially since I was born, raised, and lived in Alabama almost my whole life…

Moon Pies suck rancid rhino arse.

I do like the occasional RC Cola though.

I remember the chant we learned at summer camp when I was a kid: "M-O-O-N-P-I-E. Moon pie, moon pie fly to me."

Moon pies have a price point and it’s inflexible.

it’s not inflation, it’s “opportunistic price gouging

so i’ve been told.

Bananas never seemed to have had price increases either over the last three years.

I think most of them were made 25+ years ago, thus leaving them immune to current prices.

I'll say this, when I am on any kind of parade route and I have been drinking all day and someone throws a moonpie or a bag of zapps...I am crushing it immediately!

Moon pies are great

Besides a stomach virus, RC Cola is the only thing that gives me the shits

Pizza chains haven’t changed price in like 40 years. You can still get a basic one topping large for around $10.

They make more money now thanks to all the tricked up crusts, wings and other sides that add $.

I was thinking Ramen Noodles, but sadly a 24 pack of the chicken flavored is up to $6.50 whereas it was $5 a few years ago.

Tobacco hasn’t if you go to the right store. I’m actually getting dip cheaper now. Murphys is a money saver
