BELL BUCKLE, Tennessee -- Visitors to the 14th annual RC Cola and MoonPie festival in Bell Buckle, Tennessee are in for a treat this weekend. A giant 100 pound, 75,000 calorie MoonPie has been whipped up for the festival.

The MoonPie bakers usually make chocolate MoonPies for special events, but decided to mix it up a little this year and make banana, the company's second most popular flavor.

The giant marshmallow and graham cracker treat will feed between 100 and 150 people and will be eaten in about five minute
