Alas, now they are but Great Lakes

Did you know that Ohio fries originated in Canada?
I've lived in Ohio my entire life and never heard of Ohio fries, I guess we just call them fries here.
And Hawaiin pizza
Nope, Ohio fries really come from Ohio (but not because of the name)
Merde...
Damn. Calling the Ruhrpott new York is an insult in both directions
could be worse
Is Ruhrpott like greater Frankfurt?
Is it like Frankfurt am Mainhattan??
That would have made sense. Ruhrpott isn't in Hesse though. It's the region north to it around Düsseldorf Köln Bonn etc
If anyone is wondering, theses are the names of states of the USA. It's a small country that lies just south of Canada.
Tbh this is just wrong, it’s clear Ohio is larger than Canada even if you include their puppet state (Toronto).
Clearly if New York wanted instigate intrastate warfare they would conduct a lightning assault through Canada and catch Ohio by surprise, who would likely be thinking that their Appalachian Line on the border with New York would keep them safe. Canada’s so small they could cross it in hours!
I'm gonna tell my kids this was Ohio
Vive la révolution
In that case - I must be in the youper.
There is no Paris equivalent. The joke author couldn't even go there.
Paris = Mansfield. Which all Parisienne should find as highly offensive
I once heard Billings, Montana referred to as the Paris of south-central Montana.
There is a lake (Summersville) in west virgina with water so clear they call themselves the little Bahamas of the east. Despite being northwest of the actual Bahamas.
There’s a Virginia to the north of Virginia that calls itself West Virginia despite being to the north.
Lake sounds awesome but imma bring a compass.
Clearly its Versailles (ver-sayls)
He could've tried New Paris or St. Paris.
Pennsylvania = Amish = Swiss
Soy de Kentucky
Netherlands should've been Quebec.
