Most Southerners have had the classic pairing of an RC Cola and a Moon Pie. This combo goes back many years, and when each item used to cost 5 cents each, it got the name “Working Man’s Lunch.”
Moon Pies are from Chattanooga, TN, and RC Cola — comparable to Pepsi — comes from Georgia. Moon Pies are a chocolate covered graham cracker sandwich with a marshmallow center. There are different variations now, but the original is still the best and can be bought in most country stores and some grocery stores, like the class Piggly Wiggly. Lance used to make a similar item called a Big Town.
This pairing even inspired a song, which I’ve posted the link to below, as well as a story about an RC Cola and Moon Pie festival.
Loved Moon Pies but never did care for RC Cola. Pepsi and Mountain Dew ruled our household. Thanks for posting.
