Description

The true MoonPie origin story is far stranger than the popular moon myth. Most people believe a coal miner named the treat after framing the moon with his hands, but that tale is just well-marketed snack folklore. This video breaks down how the Chattanooga Bakery helped sustain the legend and what likely actually happened. If you enjoy deep dives into food history, subscribe for more myth-busting content.
