This weeks review once again comes from Phoenix. I had a discussion with the local vending expert, Patrick Stadler, about their selection versus ours. They have a fine selection of sweets, but only 3 chips to choose from (not to mention, a significant price gouge).

This weeks review:

Double Decker Deluxe Moon-Pie

Well, I decided to treat myself to a pie for my Birthday. The Double Decker Moon-Pie is basically three soft ply-wood like chocolate covered bread wafers with marshmallow in between.

I was just going to eat it straight, but the package beckoned "TRY IT HOT!", so I followed the microwave instructions. When it was all over, I was left with a flimsy oozing, gooey sandwich.

After taking my first bite, I put the sandwich down only to find my fingers covered with the chocolate goo, and to see three bald spots on the top wafer where my fingers just were. I tried to lick my fingers, but the chocolate instantly coagulated to something analogous to bathroom caulking.

After letting it cool to the point that it wouldn't slime me anymore, I had a few more bites, but it was flaky and crappy, so I tossed it.

This pie should have stayed on the moon.

Rating: * (out of five stars)
