I absolutely adore the fact that you created a post about Disc Chocky and that so many of us started looking them up- most likely for our kids. I’m gonna go with the Moon Pie option myself. Thanks

Hi Robert POND, Thanks for the suggestion! I googled joe louis and I got the result of a boxer. But I then googled "jos louis cookie" and I got the result of a Sponge Cake with Vanilla-flavoured Creme Filling Coated in a Chocolatey Layer. I added it to the list of similar cookies.

Hi MamaQ, Moon Pie sounds like a good choice! Moon Pie's were featured in a Ryan Reynolds movie called School of Life. It was kind of a kid's movie. Jeff www.seabreezecomputers.com/

Hi Claire, Yes, they are very similar to Wagon Wheels. I have it listed in the list of similar cookies. I wish there was an easy way to compare the size on all the cookies. Jeff www.seabreezecomputers.com/

Yes! Definitely Wagon Wheels. Wikipedia makes reference to trying to eat them while and the size debate. “Also, although the UK Wagon Wheel has barely shrunk, it is still noticeably smaller than the Australian equivalent. As of 2006 the diameter of the Australian version is measured at 88 mm which is 14 mm larger than the UK version, while the UK Wagon Wheel is notably thicker by 4 mm.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon_Wheels

Hi Tyson, Thank you for the interesting information. It seems like the inspiration behind the episode might have to do with Wagon Wheels. When watching the episode it looked like there was some kind of jam in the middle also. That made me think of Raspberry Wagon Wheels. Jeff www.seabreezecomputers.com/

This is seriously high quality content. Saved us when our 8yo spontaneously brought up Disk Chockies at the dinner table. Thanks for putting it up.

I think it's a wagon wheel. In the 70's they were huge and now they are much smaller. Why have I been watching inbestigators when I was around in the 70's. Well that's why I have kids. I can watch funny prorogramms and pretend I'm doing it for the kids. Top dad.

My grandson wanted to do the challenge so I gave him a handy mini moon pie. He's 7 and won the challenge. But he only gets bragging rights. Lol

This post was great. I checked with my Australian friend after we saw the episode you reference. She said they are not available in the states (that she has ever seen), but can sometimes find them in Canada. So, not made up, a real Australian snack.

Hi Mom to 4, Thank you for the information! I think your friend might be thinking of Wagon Wheels. According to a Wikipedia article Wagon Wheels were originally created in Australia around 1948. Now they are also produced in Canada and the United Kingdom. According to the Wikipedia article, "The UK Wagon Wheel has shrunk by 12% over the last 20 years and it is noticeably smaller than the Australian equivalent. As of 2006 the diameter of the Australian version is measured at 88 mm which is 14 mm larger than the UK version, while the UK Wagon Wheel is notably thicker by 4 mm." I will update the website with this information. Jeff www.seabreezecomputers.com/

I'm watching this episode now with my 8 year old daughter right now and naturally wanted to find out about these Disc Chockys. Nice one for doing the research on this!

In the US, I hound "Choco Pie" in the "Asian foods" section. I had to buy them. They are very big! I think they are a pretty good match, I wish I could share a photo.

Hi Bex, Thank you for the comment. Yes, Choco Pie would work as well. They seem to be taller and not as wide as the cookies on the show though. Two different companies make similar Choco Pies: Lotte and Orion.  Also when looking at the package images online, Orion seems to randomly make 3 different sizes. Lotte Choco Pies - 28g each cookie Orion Choco Pie - 39g each cookie Orion Choco Pie - 35g each cookie Orion Choco Pie - 28g each cookie Jeff http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/
