On New Year’s eve 2008,
the city of Mobile, Alabama
raised a 12-foot tall lighted
mechanical moon pie to
celebrate the coming of the
new year. The giant banana-
colored Moon Pie was raised
by a crane to a height of
200 feet as the clock struck
midnight.
The city also had for its New
Year’s celebration the world’s
largest moon pie weighing 55
pounds.
ABC-TV’s Good Morning
America featured “The Moon
Pie Song” by Charles Ghigna
(Father Goose) during its tour
of the Chattanooga Bakery
Company in 1991.

sent to our household were as
good as any of those gobbled
up as kids. But we don’t
recommend them for dieters.
