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


Might not be a bad idea to dump the Federal Reserve and base our currency upon the Moon Pie!

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.

Tourists eat them when they travel south to look cool.

Several years ago they did make a smaller moon pie, like three inch diameter.

Dollar Tree still sold these the last time I was there a few months ago. Got a box of the banana ones for the hell of it.

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 $.


Fun fact: Domino's makes the majority of its money on its supply chain. The stores are owned by franchisees and can get the ingredients however they want. However, since Domino's is so good at its supply chain, virtually all of its stores contract with corporate to supply the ingredients. They make far more from that than from the pizzas themselves.

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

They have become cookie size rather than cake...since 1990. Still a good little treat and worth fighting for on Church St in Mobile.

I like a moon pie with a cold pint of Borden chocolate milk.

They were 5 cents when I was a boy. They were also larger.
So, yeah their price has gone up, like every thing else.

I’m not a marshmallow fan but I do enjoy the taste of a Moon Pie once in a great while. I usually go for the double decker. I like it cold. It also has great ingredients and nothing fake in them.

I think the only time we ate Moon pies as a kid is when we caught them at Mardi Gras parades.
