We've seen what happens when someone makes the U.S. States out of food and renames them. But what did the original State names actually mean, before The Foodnited States had their way with them?

According to this map by Expedia, those from Iowa can literally exclaim, "This is the place," while Missourians actually reside in a "dugout canoe."

We're a bit biased on the subject, but we think "State made of kale" is more appropriate for California, than "Mystical Island Califia."

Where are you from? Literally speaking, of course.
