Pretty accurate assesment, since the only place you could buy sweet tea in NoVA was at Chic-Fil-a. I didn't know before I moved here that they sold sweat tea by the gallon at McDonalds. |

Sweet Tea is slowly becoming popular in the North. They advertise it like crazy at McDonald's locations in PA now. |

I guess the southern half of Florida is fairly Yankee as well.

gotta be true, as I never heard of it referred that way until the day I moved here to NC.
And guys, it's sneakers. They're called that because the sole barely makes a sound, so you can sneak around in them. I honestly never knew other people DIDN'T call them sneakers haha  |

Ok I took the Massachusettes one and scored 51%. I have never even been there (Washington State and Maryland for me, plus 3 weeks in NC) Have seen a lot of movies though.
So now 66% Dixie, 51% Mass. What about the places I've actually lived (far west and mid-atlantic)
Does this mean I am going to gain weight?
