Goo Goo Cluster

[Garufa]

While we're at it and me being a Memphis boy...if you used to chew Super Bubble gum...it came from Memphis.   Not anymore though.

Being an Atlanta kid, I'm a Coke guy through and through.  But, the limited run of Royal Crown Draft they did several years ago with cane sugar was outstanding. 

As to Moon Pies - I'll just leave this here:

They're wonderful!

Ok....then the one I'm thinking of on Broad street was Double Cola. It's now Chattem Drug I think.

AAAK..  ..Double Cola is the "Milwaukee's Best" of colas. It's even worse than RC, which makes it pretty much undrinkable.

Pour your Coke over a full glass of ice, then let the ice melt and you'll have Double Cola.

I used to have an aunt that worked at Standard Candy back in the 50's and 60's, and we were always told the Goo Goo started out as just a collection of scraps from everything else that they made, and they took off from there.

I don't know how y'all eat that moon pie mess. Damn things are just plain nasty. I'm down for a RC though.

Banana moon pies are pretty good.  Not to sweet. I like the mini size. The full size ones can be a little to much sometimes.

Never had a real Moon Pie just homemade ones which I was never that fond of, may have to try a real one some time. I use to be a big fan of RC but haven't had one in many years, they were probably still using cane sugar when I use to like it.

Just different tastes I guess. I always though the banana, although very good, as a bit sweeter tasting than the chocolate ones. The only ones I ever considered "too much" and not often at that, was the double-deckers.

Which might just account for my current waistline.

I came across these the other day.... Uncle Al's Cookies made in Hoover, AL

 

What got me thinking was this notice below the ingredients.... 

 

May be produced with genetic engineering    Why would a cookie be genetically engineered   Please pass the moon pies....

Don't kid yourself. Virtually everything we eat has been genetically engineered. Hybridization is genetic engineering.  Basically all the grains we eat (wheat, corn, oats) burpless cucumbers, spineless okra, thornless blackberries, ... all genetically engineered.

Before everyone gets their panties in a wad over "genetic engineering" look up Gregor Mendel

Yeah, even current "legacy" seed varieties had to be selectively bred and/or hybridized over the 5,000 years or so man has been farming, otherwise you'd only have wild predecessors, like grasses that are 90% chaff instead of the wheat/oats/barely we know, tomatoes the size of blackberries, whatever.

Much the same with domesticated animals.
