The Chattanooga Times Free Press published an article on Chattanooga Bakery, Inc.‘s efforts to turn MoonPie into the snack of choice for aliens.

VP of Sales and Marketing Tory Johnston did a great job of laying out the strategy around targeting the new customer base. “Do aliens also have a sweet tooth? Extraterrestrial experts interviewed for the campaign say they aren’t sure. But they might.”

First is the Power Pie™, a new protein snack from FINAFLEX® that’s inspired by our iconic MoonPie®. Power Pie™ is a milk chocolate covered, non-GMO, super stacked protein snack built with all-natural ingredients that sandwiches two soft & chewy cookies together with a creamy marshmallow filling, delivering 14 grams of protein in every pie. Both chocolate and vanilla varieties will be available. According to FINAFLEX, initial distribution in August, 2022 will be online, in a national network of gyms / workout clubs, in specialty accounts like Vitamin Shoppe and GNC, as well as in the pharmacy department at Walmart (where similar meal replacement protein items are sold). Distribution will eventually build to select Grocery accounts, also in the protein section. The Power Pie will retail between $3.49 - $3.99 per pie and will be manufactured in Evanston, IL at an approved FINAFLEX co-pack facility.
