1. “Oh, That’s The State With The Peaches, Right?”
Well, Georgia isn’t called “The Peach State” for nothing…but Georgia also grows a really good blueberry.
2. “So What’s Living In Atlanta Like?”
Probably awesome, but not everyone from Georgia actually lives there, so…
3. “The Country Or The State?”
Well, the thick southern US accent gives it away a little, doesn’t it?
4. “Why Do You Call Everything A Coke?”
Oh, I don’t know, maybe because Georgia INVENTED it. You’re welcome, world.
5. “But Have You Ever Had A Pepsi?”
Fortunately not. Georgians don’t have to settle.
6. “Do You Like Paula Deen?”
You mean beyond her creative use of butter? What do you think?
7. “Why Are You So Obsessed With Waffle House?”
Um…why are you NOT obsessed with Waffle House?
8. “Which Direction Is It To Peachtree Street?”
Hmmm…well, it depends on which one of the millions you’re talking about.

Because people in Georgia have taste.

11. “Isn’t It Kind Of Humid There?”
Does my hair not speak for itself right now?
12. “Ew, Why Would You Put Ranch Dressing On That?”
Why wouldn’t someone put ranch dressing on literally everything?
13. “What If I Have A Peanut Allergy?”
You should probably just stay out of the entire state of Georgia. Also, how do you live without boiled peanuts in your life? Sorry ‘bout that.
14. “Is Chick-fil-A Any Better Than KFC?”
Um…of course. How dare you even compare the two?
15. “Do You Know Honey Boo Boo?”
Since 650 people live in McIntyre, odds are only 650 Georgians really have the chance to meet Honey Boo Boo. Not great odds.

Between the gorgeous nature everywhere and cool smaller cities like Savannah and Augusta…oh yeah, total snooze fest.

Okay, so Georgians like to fry everything, including green tomatoes and green beans. Is it such a crime for food to taste good? Also…there are peaches sometimes.
19. “Have You Ever Met The Cast Of The Walking Dead?”
Met? Not so much. Tried to figure out when they were filming and hang out near the perimeter of the set to catch a glimpse? You bet.
20. “How Do You Live With All That Pollen?”
Most people in Georgia are actually just made up of 40 percent Claritin at this point.

Because Georgia parents teach their kids good home training.
22. “Aren’t Grits Basically Just Oatmeal?”
Oh, bless your heart. You just have no idea how wrong you are.
23. “Oh My Goodness, What Happened To Your Arms?”
Oh, you mean the giant welts everywhere? Just your average bug bites. Welcome to Georgia.

Well, it depends on who you ask, but that’s kind of a trick question, because it can actually be both sometimes.

Because that’s normal dinnertime, duh. Supper is the evening meal in Georgia.
27. “It’s Just An Inch Of Snow. Why Are You Freaking Out?”
The grocery stores being totally empty for the next week isn’t reason enough to freak out?
28. “Aren’t There A Bunch Of Hillbillies There?”

No. Please stop. No one says that.
