I editted the article to make it clear that shoofly pie is of Pennsylvania Dutch origin. It may be common in parts of the South (though none of my Southern friends have ever heard of it before), but that is most likely because the recipe spread there.

[edit] Bumper Sticker Error

I'm correcting the note about the bumper sticker. It actually reads "I break" and not "I brake." It's a play on words for taking a break to eat it. You can see that by following the bumper sticker contest link. Aengle1 23:37, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Or perhaps more likely, the uneducated illiterate Pennsylvanians simply don't distinguish between the two words. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.62.82.126 (talk) 23:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] First Use in Print

It seems that if the 1915 cookbook listed in the references section and accessible via the provided hyperlink mentions "shoo-fly pie" then the earliest known date in which the term was used in print cannot possibly be 1926, but rather 1915.
