Description
Every candy and snack the South invented has a story. And most of them were never told — until now.
From the Nashville car trunk that launched Lay's potato chips to the San Antonio kitchen that invented Fritos, and the Chattanooga bakery that created the MoonPie for coal miners — the South didn't just invent Southern snacks, it invented America's snacks.
From Goo Goo Cluster and Stuckey's Pecan Log Roll to Golden Flake, Tom's, and Little Debbie — these are 30 candies and snacks you eat every week that were invented in the South.
Which one shocked you most? Let me know in the comments.
