I'm sure forum connysewers are lining up to reserve their favorite flavor!:D:D:D
 
1morethan8 .....half the people on this forum have no idea what a moon pie is! Growing up an "R-o-C cola" and a moon pie was a sugar high afternoon pick-me up.

I just wanted all my Southern friends to know we had another "Southern Thing"!:D

It's no wonder why we have so many Yankees moving South...

Ummm.... I'm from Los Angeles and I know what a Moonpie & RC cola is.


...spent my boyhood summers in Salina, Kansas... ;)
 
Chattanooga Bakery was founded in the early 1900's as a subsidiary of the Mountain City Milling Company in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The famous MoonPie was developed in 1917.

Royal Crown Cola was born from the efforts of a young pharmacist in Columbus, Georgia. After a disagreement with a local soda bottler, Claud A. Hatcher began creating his own soft drinks. Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that his experiments would become an American icon affectionately nicknamed RC Cola... since 1905.
 
Moon pies are still available in places like Cracker Barrel. I do miss the RC.

Some times after a big swig of RC we would drop in a dime bag of peanuts. Yes, a dime bag once was full of Planters salted peanuts.

I put some peanuts in a Pepsi (no R C's around) a couple of years back and my daughter thought I was nuts...

I have heard of some putting peanuts in a Orange Crush...(that don't sound so hot to me though)

Oh My!

Moved to Clinton Miss. in 64, my first friend there introduced me to peanuts and RC also Moon Pies. Ate so many that now I can't hardly look at one now without going into sugar overdose. Was also introduced to hominy and grits which I still enjoy. At that time I could get home from school gran a fishing rod or my 410 cross the street and fish or hunt year round. Can't hardly do that any more.
Life was so much easier then.
 
Down south, , on New Year's eve, we watch the big Moon Pie drop in Mobile(that don't look like RC them folks are sippin'). I've heard they do something similar up north.

And your city was home to the first Coca-Cola bottling plant...

And that train going up Lookout Mountain is one of the steepest passenger railways in the world... 72.7% grade.

Located over 1120 feet beneath the surface, Ruby Falls is the nation’s largest and deepest waterfall open to the public.

Uh...Uh...I think I'll pass on that one too. Do they fizz like putting them in a RC or Pepsi????


I probably should have mentioned in in my other post, when I did the peanuts in the Pepsi thing with my daughter...She's 43, and she's my youngest!!!!! So that doesn't make me much of a spring chicken... I wasn't such a good father with my kids.

I was still too sick to drive my hot rod to the car get together, (Deuce coupe).SANY0018.JPG so I had her drive.(Recovering from cancer treatments) We had stopped somewhere for gas, so that's when we got the refreshments. I put the peanuts in the Pepsi....

"Dad, that's another thing I never knew about you".

That was a good trip for the both of us.

I don't know if she's tried doing it that way since though. I'll have to ask her one of these times.

AND DON'T FORGET THE MOON PIES :D

Thanks JR. For you young guys, the ones who never knew America as a 2 lane road without interstate highways, JR's picture is what many Mom and Pop "SERVICE STATIONS" looked like out of the city limits.

A person walked out, asked how much gas you wanted, usually a bucks worth would get you 4 or 5 gallons. If you were on the road and close to empty ya got a 5 spot's worth. They asked if you wanted your oil or fluids checked and get this, they washed your windshield without being asked.

You could go in and get a loaf of bread and some lunch meat to fix for lunch as you drove. There would be candy, cigarettes and 5 cent seegars in a glass case. Free matches were always on the counter.

They could fix your tire under a lean too attached to the building and your pit stop was a small room inside or a unheated water closet outside or a two holer out back.

And if you had been good and your Dad had an extra quarter or fitty cent piece you might get a soda with a Moon Pie or peanuts. You got 8 ounces of Coke for 6 cents or 10 oz of Pepsi or 12 oz of RC. Now you see why RC was so cool for a kid, 50% more for your 6 cents or later a dime.

And I think I've shot a few marbles with JR in the dirt next to the building.

If you were broke and walked over you could scour the ditches for unbroken soda bottles and get 2 cents each for them. 5 Bottles was a big RC and if you were lucky you might find enough for the peanuts or Moon Pie.

How many of you long in the tooth pups picked up bottles for soda???

Thanks again JR, that picture brought back a flood of memories.
