5. The Big Blue Bug
Nothing say’s you’re driving down I-95 like driving past this giant blue termite sitting on top of the Big Blue Bug Solutions. We can tell our holidays by how they dress up Nibbles Woodaway, and it’s a great reminder of why we love our state.
4. Bubblers
Sorry, water fountain. Nothing rivals the look we get from non-Rhodies when we ask to get a drink from the bubbler. It’s just understood that that’s what they are. When some one says water fountain they’re guaranteed to get a double take, and a confused, “Please?”. You’re on our turf now.
3. Snow
While we like to think we’re tough and can pass through a Nor’easter like it’s nothing… Without fail Shaw’s is always out of bread and milk and our roads become filled with potholes that could hide a full grown man…. It’s whatever.
2. Party Pizza
Pizza isn’t just pizza. There cheese pizza and party pizza. To all you other guys, it’s bread and tomato sauce… to us it’s memories of childhood. Nothing says a birthday party or school event like thick bread and “gravy” on top.
1. ‘401’. As the only state with a single area code, we’re very proud of those 3 numbers. It helps us pick out our fellow Rhodies in the blink of the eye. Our pride in our sliver of paradise is unbeatable. You can take the person out of Rhode Island but you can’t take the 401 out of a person.
It’s just a Rhode Island thing, sorry ’bout it!
