Angry Birds Moon Pies Are A Thing That Exists

By ( ) Comments

The ever famous game, Angry Birds has been ported to a nearly infinite amount of different platforms including Kinect, Google+, reality and cake, but this is the one you’ve all been waiting for: Angry Birds is coming to moon pieOS. The Angry Birds moon pies are an official, Rovio endorsed product for the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival and are being sold at the Hong Kong Angry Birds/Rovio store, a thing that also apparently exists.

The pies come in chocolate, mango, and pomelo flavors and are being sold in pairs for the equivalent of $5 U.S.. For the moment they are, sadly, available exclusively in China. Kiki Au, a young girl interviewed about the new product put it this way:

I’ve come here to buy the moon cakes because I like playing the game.

A poetically apt explanation of merchandising if ever there was one.

    I dunno.  Moon Pies & RCs are pretty sacred items  where I come from.  Plus a 6-inch-long piece of balogna, which we call “Horse Kock.”  It all makes a delicious, filling, tasty, healthy
    meal.  Real cheap too.  Ummm.

    Getting smacked by a moonpie during Mardi Gras has taken on a new meaning. lol

    Yeah, those seem to be “moon cakes,” an asian traditional pastry, not “moon pies,” southern American “delicacy.”

    The moon cake is a good strategy
    for Rovio to promote their Angry Birds Seasons update. There is no better
    product that has the same significance during that festival compared to moon
    cake. I hope other countries can also experience an update commemorating their
    festival like Rio in Brazil and Mid-Autumn Festival in China.
