Wagon Wheels.

Tio, I had no idea Wagon Wheels were Canadian! :)

They ain't; at least according to Wiki:-


Wagon Wheels are a snack food sold in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Malta, Russia, Dominican Republic and the United Kingdom. They consist of two biscuits with marshmallow sandwich filling, covered in a chocolate flavoured coating.[1] The round biscuits represent the wheels of wagons, hence the name.

Wagon Wheels were created by Garry Weston, son of W. Garfield Weston.[1] Garry Weston worked for his father's business in Australia before taking over his family's business in England. The biscuits were launched at the 1948 Olympia Food Fair.[1] The name (originally "Weston Wagon Wheels") capitalized on the Wild West, which was popular in mass media at the time.

We call them "Moon Pies" here in the USA. They are a staple of the south and almost a religious experience for some people.

There is way more truth to ^that^ than you probably want to know. :rolleyes:

OMG, :cool:. As Piglet remarked of the penis-shaped pasta we saw in Rome: "There is not enough soap in the world to wash that from my eyes."

This reminds me of that competition redzinger posted about ... I must look into it. No, I must do my academic paper. After I've fetched in the washing and washed the kitchen floor and hoovered.
:catroar:
