Also call me crazy... or sheltered.... But I had no idea growing up that RC Cola and Moon pies were a southern thing. It wasn't until I met people from further north who didn't have these things. The same goes for awareness of dialect and other cultural/ historical differences I guess.
A joke from the late, great Lewis Grizzard....
One day a man walks into a place and orders an RC Cola and a Moon Pie. The guy behind the counter says, "You must be from Alabama." The customer replied angrily, "Just because I ordered an RC Cola and a Moon Pie, how come you think I must be from Alabama?" He continued, "If I ordered spaghetti, would you think I was from Italy? If I ordered sausage, would you say I was from Poland?" The man at the counter says, "Well, I can't say. It's never happened." So the customer asks, "Then how come when I come in here and order an RC Cola and a Moon Pie, you just automatically assume I'm from Alabama?"
And the man calmly replies, "'Cause this is a hardware store."
