Me, I'm from Pretzelvania

The Foodnited States of America. Execution by Foodiggity, original concept by Mr. Foodiggity's son. Puns of arguable but mostly winsome deliciousness. Taste the absurd levity.

That's even more fun than the 50-state post just two spots down in the blue. Says someone who grew up in Pretzelvania (and – although now living in Pork Lo Maine – just finished eating a bunch of pretzels from down that way).

"Pretzelvania" is pretty apt, given that that's where the Hanover of Snyder's of Hanover fame is located.

Bizarrely, though, Penn State pretzels come from the UK, which really messed with me the first time I saw that brand.

Oh come on, Texmexas is cheating.

I'm originally from Berryland and went to college in Liverginia, neither of which made me laugh half so hard as Swissconsin, a state I've only been to once.

If you only see 29 states like I did, you can see the rest here.

That's in honor of the Anglo settlement history. The cheating.

South Dacocoapuffs was the one that got me.

Don't forget about Snyder's of Berlin because you can't have just one pretzel company named Snyders.

Kalefornia = apt
Waffleaska = stretch

Juneau what? I think you're right about Waffleaska.

I would have gone with Minnesoda Crackers, myself.

I'm a bit disappointed in Mashedachusetts. I thought it was going to be Bassachusetts (as in the fish)!

Pennsylvania: the state where everyone is named Snyder. I grew up near at least one Snyder Road, not far from a big store called Snyder’s, and, yes, with pretzels available at the supermarket from two unrelated companies called Snyder’s.

And "Baked Alaska" was right there. Pity.
