h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A545258 This entry was based on a conversation here http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F19585?thread=110146 and it spent some time in Writing Workshop here http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F57153?thread=112750 Yours, Jake

Ahh - in England we have another variation other than the big wheels and little domes! We have these fingers of biscuit which then have several small blobs of marshmallow piped on, often with coconut added.

Actually, since this doesn't involve chocolate, it's completely irrelevant, isn't it?

Hello,

Not really irrelevant. It's interesting. I imagine it's up to someone to chart the taxonomy and evolution of all unhealthy snack products. I'm just doing my own little part in the great work.

Yours,
Jake

There is a factual error in A545258 - 'Manufactured Chocolate and Marshmallow Biscuits of the World'. MoonPies were not made and sold until 1917. See www.moonpies.com for verification.

There is also an error in the related article, "Wagon Wheel Effect", the premise of which is that Wagon Wheels didn't actually get smaller. Wagon Wheels in the UK did in fact get smaller when production shifted to Llantarnam, South Wales. The size of the wheels was reduced from 79mm to 74mm.
