MoonPie jokingly renames Florida, saying ‘We can just do this now!’
The Gulf of Mexico isn’t the only thing getting renamed — MoonPie has thrown out the idea of changing the state of Florida’s name as well.
On Tuesday night, MoonPie shared on X, formerly Twitter, that effective immediately the state of Florida would now be referred to as MoonPieTown. The motivation behind the change was “recent geographical updates,” according to the press release-styled posting.
“‘But Florida is a state,’ you say. No, Florida was a state. Now it’s MoonPieTown. We can just do this now!” wrote the Tennessee-based company.
While the post appears to be inspired by President Trump’s move to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has made plenty of headlines and stirred up controversy in recent weeks, maybe it’s best to do as MoonPie suggests: “Please continue to enjoy our delicious marshmallow sandwiches and don’t think too much about it.”
