[edit] Merge with Moon pie

omg omg omg omg omg, no no no!!! must not be merged! deserves its own article!Daniel625 23:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Despite the similarities here are some significant differences between the two products, most specifically in the type of cookie/cracker/biscuit used. If there were a common name for the class beyond an invented "frosting coated marshmallow sandwich cookie" perhaps, but neither article should be merged into the other.

• It's a nonsensical idea. Wagon Wheels are an iconic brand in the UK, despite the fact the general biscuit type might be replicated elsewhere. 62.31.67.29 09:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• I thoroughly agree, very few people in the UK (unless they've seen The Green Mile) will have even heard of Moon Pie whilst Wagon Wheels are known to almost everyone. Next thing you known someone will suggest merging Snickers with Marathon! Perhaps we should take revenge and propose merging Coca-cola with Pepsi Mighty Antar 02:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

• • Actually, I've never heard of Wagon Wheels until now, while I was at least vaguely aware of moonpies. In any case, reading through each article indicates that while they have some similarities, they're different products with different origins. Even if Wagon Wheels could be called a type of moonpie (which they can't), the Wagon Wheel brand name would merit its own article. 65.40.131.34 21:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Definitely not the same thing - two completely unrelated manufacturers. I see no reason for merger and as this seems to be the consensus I'll remove the merger tag. – Tivedshambo (talk) 10:38, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Addicting

Wagon Wheels are extremely addicting. Do not buy a large box of them and expect to be able to pace yourself. dave 09:03, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing

According to this article, the original Wagon Wheel factory is in Slough and the guy who invented it is, according to his own page, Canadian. Yet somehow the biscuit is Australian? Huh? Bombot 09:21, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I have edited it to put things more clearly. GraemeLeggett 10:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No Kidding!

No Kidding! It takes Nerves of Steel! Michael 03:22, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
