Shoofly Pie

I wanted to rant about this earlier, but here goes.

So, last week PA chose a saying for its bumper sticker. They chose "I brake for shoofly pie."

Terrible, especially since most the Western half of the state has no clue what shoofly pie even is!!!

For those of you who don't know what shoofly pie is, and that probably is most of you, its an Amish pie filled with a custard made with a lot of molasses. It must be an acquired taste because I ate it once in Lancaster, and that was enough for me.

Why couldn't PA choose something that represented the whole state instead of something that is only around PA Dutch Country. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Harrisburg is around that area?
