Andy enters into a contract with John to purchase some pies for a party he is giving. The contract specifies that John will provide 10 "moon pies" for the occasion. Prior to the contract, Andy was at a friend's house and was served an unusual pie made out of chocolate and green cheese, and the friend told him it was a moon pie - this is what Andy meant to be ordering. Unbeknownst to Andy, the pie John calls "moon pie" is made with ollaliberries and tang. The night of the party, John delivers his version of moon pies.
