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

BTW, any one else have famiy who calls gym shoes "Tenny Shoes" instead of Tennis Shoes? Both parent are Southern (NC & VA). They have lived in the south all their lives and gym shoes are "tenny shoes".
That's so funny and true! I was raised in rural NE NC and we called em tenny shoes.

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?
