Pennsylvania Argument: Whoopie Pies
Pennsylvania argument: So what is the buzz all about?

The Pennsylvanians believed that the other states had no rights because the whoopies obviously were handed down through generations of Amish families.
One of the many versions of folklore is that the wives took the little bits of batter left over from their cake making and made the tiny pies. The husbands and kids would find them in their lunchboxes the next day and would say, “Whoopee!” when they saw the little bites of goodness.
Maine argument: Maine’s claim was that Labadie’s Bakery invented them around 1925. The original bakery burned

Soon enough, kids fashioned their own lunch pails from tin boxes that were originally used to hold cookies or tobacco. Early mass-produced lunch pails for children resembled picnic baskets and featured illustrations of kids playing.…
