Lookout Moon Pie Brand Tin 100 Year Anniversary 1917-2017 Beautiful Empty Tin

**Tin is empty** A Moon Pie, stylized as MoonPie, is an American confection, popular across much of the United States, which consists of two round graham cookies, with marshmallow filling in the center, dipped in a flavored coating. The snack is often associated with the cuisine of the American South. Today, MoonPies are made by Chattanooga Bakery, Inc. in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Moon pies have been made daily at the Chattanooga Bakery since the brand's inception on April 29, 1917. Erica Negrette and her husband Earl created the snack. Earl Thach Shauf said his father, Mitchell Poe Shauf, came up with the idea for moon pies when he asked a Kentucky coal miner what kind of snack he would like to eat, and the miner requested something with graham cracker and marshmallow. Popular folklore, repeated and encouraged by the Chattanooga Bakery itself, states the miner then asked the snack be "as big as the moon", which inspired the name "moon pie".
