I worked way too hard turning this post legible.

Most of the state name changes are brilliant, but some are either weak or jokes I didn’t get (“Mime SODA”?), or maybe I just misread the whiteboard chicken-scratch. Regardless, suggestions for alternatives encouraged; I’ll post an updated version if there’s interest.

    My guess for Mime SODA is that they refer to it as “pop”. 🤷‍♂️

    Edit: Richard Dean Anderson is from Minnesota and was a mime.

    ~But let’s talk about Nude Jersey. 🤔~

      I believe it has to do with the Joe Biden SODA!!! Meme.

      On the original picture I think it was written as Minne-SODA not Mime SODA.

        I couldn’t find a pic of RDA as a mime, so this will have to do:

      I propose Minnesota’s new name be Daycare State (wellfare state + the daycare debacle)
