In a move that shocked absolutely no one who follows bizarre Florida news, the great state of Florida has been officially rebranded—by a marshmallow sandwich.
That’s right. MoonPie, the Tennessee-based snack company known for its graham cracker, marshmallow, and chocolate concoctions (and also for being delightfully unhinged on social media), has decided Florida needs a fresh new identity.
“Florida? Never Heard of Her. It’s MoonPieTown Now.”
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), MoonPie casually announced:
“Thanks to recent geographical updates, we are excited to announce that the land mass previously known as Florida will now be referred to as MoonPieTown.”
They then added, “We can just do this now!”—because apparently, in 2025, anyone can rename anything with zero consequences.
The internet, naturally, lost its collective mind.
- Florida Man Enthusiasts: “But how will we track ‘MoonPieTown Man’ incidents? It doesn’t have the same chaotic energy.”
- MoonPie Stans: “Finally, a state name that accurately reflects its level of sugar-induced madness.”
- Geographers: “We give up.”
Why MoonPie? Why Now?
MoonPie’s social media team has always been… eccentric. From declaring New Jersey the home of alien life to hosting a sun vs. moon showdown for the 2024 eclipse, they’ve never met a ridiculous take they didn’t like.
But this time, they took inspiration from recent political rebranding efforts—like Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” and the ongoing battle over Denali vs. Mt. McKinley.
If politicians can just slap new names on things, why can’t a snack company?
What Does This Mean for Residents?
- Driver’s Licenses: Will now say “MoonPieTown Resident – Proceed With Caution.”
- Tourism Slogans: “MoonPieTown: Where the Weather’s Hot and the Decisions Are Questionable.”
- News Headlines: “MoonPieTown Man Attempts to Wrestle Alligator Using Only a Pool Noodle.”
The Big Question: Will It Stick?
Google Maps hasn’t updated yet, but we’re holding out hope. Meanwhile, Floridians—sorry, MoonPieTownians—are already embracing the chaos.
One local was overheard saying, “I don’t care what they call it as long as they keep selling MoonPies at gas stations.”
Fair point.
So, welcome to MoonPieTown, y’all. Enjoy your marshmallow-filled future.
