Whoopie Pie Challenge

At least for now Maine has bested Pennsylvania in who made the largest whoopie pie, chocolate cakes with creamy frosting between them. There is still the question of where the treat originated though. Maine claimed to be the home of the whoopie pie, but PA says not so, it originated with their Amish community. So a 250 pound whoopie pie was made in Pennsylvania which gave them the record for the largest one. Now Maine has snatched that title with a 1,067 pound whoopie pie. They sure made a lot of whoopie in Maine!

It's huge. I, for one, do not enjoy them, but they are everywhere around here in PA.

Put a barrel of Nehi next to it and it will look like a MoonPie!
