Disappointing Snack Cake

So, I was at an event and they handed out Moon Pies for a snack. I never had one before, but everyone else seemed to react like they were a good thing to eat, and I've seen them sold alongside the other snack cakes I buy. I took a chocolate one to have later for a chocolate fix when back home because the chocolate cookies made for the week had run out. Comes time for my snack and I unwrap the Moon Pie and have a bite. The thing was like two graham cracker cardboard-like patties cemented together with yuck marshmallow glue, all covered in some kind of nasty, barely chocolate flavored grease. Gross!!! Okay, so I figure maybe I got a bad one or something. But nope, they got similar reviews from others after doing a search on these disgusting things! Now I am not a culinary snob or anything. I like marshmallows fine, and will eat them like candy out of the bag. Graham crackers I eat all the time, and use them to make a lot of my other sweet treats. I like Hershey bars and those are like the lowest ranking chocolate on the market. How this Moon Pie thing managed to take all these otherwise tasty things and come up with this awfulness is a wonder. When I did the research I also found the drink of choice to go with them is RC cola. Okay, I like RC cola, better than Coke in fact, so I don't see the reasoning behind messing up enjoying the RC cola with the horrible Moon Pie. Anyway, I thew the rest of the Moon Pie in the trash and made a Devil's Food bunt cake that I'll eat unfrosted for the week's sweets.
