Sure, Pennsylvania has Hershey, but New England was the birthplace of Necco Wafers, Sky Bar, Mary Jane, and the ribbon candy that cuts your tongue every Christmas. New England’s “classic” candy is a source of pride. There wasn’t a dry eye in New Hampshire when the majestic Old Man of the Mountain succumbed to nature and crumbled on May 3, 2003. You get a little choked up thinking about “the Old Man.” You can correctly pronounce Worcester, Calais, and Kancamagus. You’re welcome, America.īecause “bubblah” is way more fun to say than “water fountain.” The Fluffernutter sandwich was born soon after. Marshmallow Fluff, peanut butter’s other BFF, was invented in Somerville, Massachusetts, back in 1917.

Feel free to offer your own suggestions in the comments - we promise we’ll read every single one! You Might Be a New Englander If… They are simply the things we hear the most at Yankee and at about “real” New Englanders.
We know that not everything on our list will apply to everyone who lives in New England (or who did live here before moving to, say, Florida). Note: Although New England is relatively small (the combined square mileage of our six states is smaller than that of 16 individual states), it’s still big enough to have lots of diversity when it comes to language, traditions, habits, and tastes. Consider yourself a true New Englander? From chowder rules to the correct way to pronounce “Kancamagus,” this handy list of New England traits is here to help determine just how Yankee you really are.
