1. Like most things in the South, the answer is:
Yes to both!

3. Agreed!
That's why I chose "other."

I love me some Moonpie, but it's about as unhealthy a food as you can eat, I suspect.

Just as an afterthought, how can we even have this discussion with no mention of RC Cola???

7. RC Cola is a better product than Coke & Pepsi.
And yes, I live in the South.

In fact, I think I'll go to the fridge and get a can of Cheerwine right now.

10. It's such a pity that Clem Cola never made it outside Arkansas!
It was made in Malvern until the late 1960s, IIRC. Damn, you'd throw rocks at Coke after one sip of Clem Cola. It was so strong you could float peanuts on the bubbles!

12. Where I grew up, we called them Scooter Pies.
And they were delicious. A few months ago, I saw genuine Moon Pies at the Dollar Store, so I snapped up a box. They were disgusting! I think they were stale. That's the only place I've seen them around here - if they were available fresh, I'd certainly buy more.

I don't think I've ever had RC Cola, though, so does that make me a heretic?

13. They are okay but
if I'm gonna consume the calories, I want something more worthwhile.
