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

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)[reply]

• 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)[reply]

• • 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)[reply]

• 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)[reply]

What's a moon pie? I've never heard of one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.161.165.22 (talk) 21:23, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

It might be worth mentioning that Wagon Wheels were amongst the first "western" snacks available in Russia after the "democratization" of early 1990's. -- Wesha (talk) 21:13, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quote: >> The biscuits were first launched during the 1940s [...] The name was derived from the fact that the Wild West was very popular at time, and in particular the film Wagon Train. <<

Two problems with the last part of this statement: 1) Wagon Train (which was not a film but a TV series) started its run in 1957; 2) the film Wagon Master, which inspired Wagon Train, was shown for the first time in 1950. -- Picapica (talk) 08:49, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article starts by describing it as snack food with a link to snack. Whereas this is correct, it would be more accurate to describe it as "junk food" and link it to the relevant wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:C409:DA00:55EC:401D:D824:6615 (talk) 07:15, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have a clear memory of buying Weston Waggon Wheels from a country shop in Wiltshire about 1954/1955. This date is earlier than given in the article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.76.190.163 (talk) 18:08, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
