Some Interesting Maps-

Fun to look at, but I won't guarantee their accuracy.

lol, I'll vouch for In n' Out burgers in CA. Also my youngest grandson is named Liam!

 

WOW! Truly interesting map collection, and particularly useful to understand some statistical facts that many time we are somewhat lazy to read or figure out comparatively between one state and another.

 

Why so many Liams? The US will soon have more people called Liam than the entire population of Ireland.

 

I have no idea, Tom. My son and daughter in law liked the name and so do I.

 

QMG

It's intriguing how names develop. Liam began as a contraction of William, itself a derivative of a Saxon name. It was almost unheard of outside of Ireland until around 1800, but these days it is very common as a standalone name.

One other thing that is interesting is the number of German speakers in the US.

 

I'm convinced that trend in names is dependable on popular movies, actors and other celebrities influencing the choice of them.

The worst part comes when these are misspelled; I have heard of more than one Lyam in this city, or several Brayan guys

 

State by State information is interesting! FYI # 10 the ICONIC drink is a locally made fruit juice from the company Hawaiian Sun. They make a variety of products too! Here are some that I know of from Hawaiian Sun, made in Hawaii only. I'm in the minority for I like diet 7UP.

OMG! All of these products look really tasty, and for me these are really a better alternative to light 7up... in fact to any light soft drink because I dislike anything sounding like being on a diet

However the mention of the 7up and the selection of Hawaiian products brought to my mind a 7up mojito edition, nothing to do with Hawaii, I know, but precisely if 7up made a version of a traditional Cuban drink, they should also do a Hawaiian-tasting 7up.
