A Little About Whoopie Pies

The Treat of Much Debate
 Whoopie Pies were also known as Gobs, which according to some originated in Germany. The American version that we know, the Whoopie Pie, has two origin stories: One involves Pennsylvania Amish farmers selling the treat from food carts on the side of the road and the other involves the left overs cake batter from bakers in Bangor, MA. It is unclear exactly when the Whoopie Pie became the "Whoopie Pie", but each state takes credit for it's creation. Maine is so proud of the Whoopie Pie that recently, legislators have sponsored a bill to make the Whoopie Pie the official "treat" for the state. In response Pennsylvania has put out a reward for anyone that can definitively prove the Whoopie Pie's originated in it's state.
We choose not to take sides on this issue. We'd rather just enjoy the delightful desert. Come by and have Whoopie Pie. WHOOPIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
