What state is the most quintessentially American state? (home, stores)

Unless you can come up with a clearer definition of "quintessential American state", I'd say each state represents the quintessential American state,

I would say Indiana, its a Midwestern state that really demonstrates "average America".

Texas is the answer.

Everything is bigger and better in Texas, so it can't be the answer.

I find it very interesting reading these threads where the very ignorant come to display their ignorance to the world. This is a good example.
