Lol. Wow! Memories.
I worked night shift as my first job at ADP in ‘80 and would go there at 3:00 am wondering if I should get eggs over easy and corn beef hash or a hamburger with side of spaghetti
During my years living in Minnesota, people assumed that because I was originally from New Jersey I just had to be a Springsteen fan. I got the strange look when I said I wasn’t. And then they never heard of Blue Oyster Cult (from Long Island).
The stuff in that OP is what Jersey is proud of??Gawdamighty, I’ll know never to go there. Sounds to me like absolute hell.
Thanks for posting.
I just love how these stupid top 25 lists about NJ are never accurate. I’ve lived here for 56yrs and have never head of, or used the term bennies.
They are called shoobies, not bennies.
The Jersey Devil might live in the pine barrens, but he works in Trenton.
Subs.
No mention of subs. Best in the world.
Other than that there is no reason for that hellhole to exist.
Doesn't cause cancer, does it? (asking for a friend from Brooklyn).
The Island and Jersey?
Oil and water. When bowling, always aim for the Brooklyn side.
And illegal aliens and muslims
Two words: Rutt’s Hutt.
Oh Yes a ripper ……..
My cousin from Bridgewater got a job here in Kansas City for AMC and moved here with her two teenage daughters who were livid about leaving the East Coast and coming here to flyover country. No decent cheese, no lacrosse, surely stupid and uncool. Oh, but wait, instead of living in a teeny apartment, they were able to have a house in a good school district in the suburbs, a yard, a dog. There is life after New Jersey.
Rutt’s Hutt is great - like stepping back in time 60 years. I hope they hang around for a few more decades...
The subs are great, but getting harder to find; a couple of good places still around. More and more of the foreigners here think a sub is that pre-packaged crap in 7-11...
Jersey has many farmer’s markets. The one is Princeton was magnificent. So you can get lots of Jersey tomatoes - just not at the supermarket.
Our farmer market tomatoes here in AL are superb as well. But I sure miss decent bread.
Frankly, even at farmers markets I don’t find Jersey tomatoes as good as those in the past. I think the difference is a few specialty farmers planting “heritage” varieties on small plots, whereas in the past the state was a major producer.
Regarding all the negative comments about NJ, the worst is now all the result of illegal immigration. Millions of illegals are replacing productive citizens.
States loaded with leftist minorities in this way will just keep lock-step electing Democrats.

Rutts Hutt, Hiram’s and Callahans.
At a little bar in Anchorage, I used to get an egg and pepper sandwich that was so delicious (on a hoagie roll, IIRC). I’ve never seen it anywhere else, but it sounds like more Jersey than Alaska. Ever heard of it?
Hoagies if you’re from South Jersey or Philly area. We also call ice cream sprinkles “jimmies.”
and the refineries in north jersey!
As long as they are juicy and ripe, I like all tomatoes. Which means I only buy them in summertime. Jersey hasn’t been the Garden State for close to 100 years.
