Which park? Eichelman?

Also, Wisconsin calls it a bubbler because they were originally made by a Wisconsin-based company (Kohler) that gave the original model that name. Or so the Wisconsin urban legend goes.

I would add strong union tradition throughout that area of the state too - and probably a combo of the factors you stated why it remains blue while much of the rust belt shifted

Also the recent success of Epic doubled the size of Verona and has 23 year old software devs buying up any houses they can find within 20 miles (southwest of Madison).

Replying to support some fellow Badgers who have some great points.

Also uw’s ag program has done a lot for area farmers which could also have an impact

#Katherine OH OH! I may have learned something. I'm scared...Hold me! :-) Thank you. Try to learn something new everyday.

Cool!

Wow I’m from PA and I didn’t know that

In England it's named after the Earl of SANDWHICH. In Habana a Cuban. In Italy a Pannini In France a Baguette In Spain a Torta In New York a Hero or a Sub. In Mass.a Wedge or a a Grinder . In some places a Loaf sandwhich, or In Naw Lins a PoBoy.

Wow and now I want one!😎😄

Never knew that, thanks!

I think it's just Epic. It's a similar situation in the counties where I am west of Detroit. University town surrounded by tech companies founded by grads for about 30 miles out.

Thanks for reminding me about the beauty of western WI! I lived in Madison for several years, and enjoyed drives to Mineral Point and surrounding areas. Not to mention shorter drives to New Glarus and Devil’s Lake. I live in the Twin Cities now, which just can’t compare. Seriously, as soon as you cross the LaCroix River into WI (at any latitude,) the scenery immediately improves 😂

lol here I am leaving my little stupid comment and of course here comes some fuckin scientist with a much more informative comment, you know what Nicholas you can shove it.

@@geoffwitt4227 ^^ thats what I said in my comment. its a college town, plus theres more black and mexican residence than there's ever been if I'm not mistaken.

We call them that in NW Florida too.

@@sw3dishla8rat agreed! Roast beef ain’t bad either but the seafood po boys are special!

I'm from the lower Northeast Philly and only knew of hoagies until I moved to Maryland in 1990.

It's actually funny, I've lived all my life here in Eastern Pennsylvania and I never even heard of Sheetz until this video. I legit had no idea there was a divide to be had. I also always just used sub and hoagie interchangeably and assumed it was the same in most places. Guess not.

@@Chillz_OG Yeah, my first Sheetz was in central Virginia on US 15 where US 17 splits off for I95, Opal, south of Warrenton. Rural crossroads, convenient spot to get gas...

@@Chillz_OG I'm from Erie and i had no clue Wawa existed either. Also I assumed hoagies were just a weird Pittsburgh thing but I guess Phili and Allentown have it the same.

I live in reading ... we got both sheetz and wawa, half a mile from each other . Didn't know there was such a divide between the two franchises lol . But there's definitely a lot more eagles and phillies fans

It was great because living on the west coast i have never heard of either! lol

​@@bluepearlgirl-emelie I moved to PA from NY, and before that I hadn't heard of either

I always thought pop was a Buffalo thing. Rarely hear it outside this area.

@@erincarson8998 The GOP technically ended racism but like, party switch happened? The KKK and other white supremacist groups support Republicans now. And most anti-racist movements support the Democrats (though I agree the DNC don’t do shit about racism)

You can do your Christmas shopping at Buccees

Bucees is like a Walmart essentially. Just with overpriced clothes, gifts, etc. (Yes I'm Texan)

South of Madison, can confirm. The democratic votes extends about a 30 minute commute from Madison proper.

Don't forget the influence of Epic in Verona

Can confirm this as well. I used to live in Stoughton, WI (south of Madison), and many people commute from external cities such as Stoughton, Oregon, Fitchburg, Verona, Waunakee, Deforest, Sun Prairie, Cottage Grove, etc, which are located on all sides of Madison.

In a subsequent map he mentioned UW is the primary employer in Wisconsin. There ware 9 campuses spread around southern Wisconsin.

@@MichaelHampton-Whitney Right. Epic has about "9k" employees (wiki) but they employ boats of temporary contractors. They are very liberal and carry their families and community with them.

Let’s not talk about R right now

Let's talk about anything we want. Feel free to move on if the subject causes internal strife.

Wouldn't it change to Tolstoya for females like Sonya? I like how the name you picked means Sleepy Chubby Daughter of Ivan.

It is used too. Hoage is often smaller than a sub, almost like a long roll.

Unless one lives in or near Louisiana where that type of sandwich is called a Po' Boy.

I was under the impression that most people from the deep south (with the exception of Florida (which may or may not be deep south)) tended to call them Po'boys. Is that just a Mississippi thing?

@@SlimThrull no

@@SlimThrull i'm from Alabama, and we call them subs. I only consider them po-boys if they are hot and contain seafood - fried being the most common for me. I'm sure there are more educated opinions than mine though.

@@SlimThrull I live in the area and we tend to call cold sandwiches like that subs. Po boys just happen to be very common so if you asked what we call an elongated sandwich and just gave a general description you are liable to get either answer depending on what people think of first, a hot sandwich or a cold one.

@@joyfuljaj my grandfather at one time informed me that a po-boy or poor boy was anything left over from last nights dinner. Thrown onto a length of French bread. his personal favorite was spaghetti. It's simply a coastal term so that's where the association with seafood came from. That's how I understand it.

you gotta ask what kinda coke you got?

I'm from New Orleans, but my first job was working food service at Disney. When I was on the register, I would ask people, "Do you want a coke or tea with your combo?" Good ole Southerners, horrified that the tea was "unsweat" would pick a coke. People from the Midwest and N.E. would get angry if they didn't want a coke and protest that they wanted Dr. Pepper or Sprite. People from the West Coast couldn't get used to the idea that we didn't sell Pepsi.

My brother once visited Minnesota (we are europeans) and after the first culture shock (they served hot dogs with potato chips instead of bread for breakfast) he was asked if he liked a pop. The only kind of "pop" that he knew about was "pop music" so he was a little confused and said: "No, i'd like something to drink." which for his hosts sounded like he wouldn't treat soft drinks as beverage in general. Fun fact: In arab countries people prefer to drink Pepsi, because Coca Cola is "too american". I don't get this explanation either.

Hot dogs with bread??? That’s just as weird to Americans as it is to you guys! Haha.

I used to work at a theme park in Arkansas that only sold *Pepsi* products (the horrors!). Eventually I developed the habit of, after asking what they wanted to drink and hearing the guest say “Coke”, asking “Is Dr. Pepper ok?” All proper Southerners know the correct answer to “Is Pepsi ok?” Pepsi is never ok! Back when I *actually* tried to up sell the Pepsi, I usually got the response “Aw hell no! Pepsi is not ok! Do you have Dr. Pepper?” At least three times an hour during a shift. Yeah. Not much love for Pepsi. I’m surprised that park still sells Pepsi to be honest, but then they have a long term contract with Pepsi.

At least they're private sector. The university domination is even scarier.

Try living in the "Walmart bubble" aka Northwest Arkansas

@@redleader7988 I work for a SUNY. I enjoy my work. I can offer the cheapest tuition and best education in the state. 15,900 beat it. Marist is a whopping 40,000. Vassar I won't even put it out there.

@@MeaghanTamara I worked for a university for 20 years and liked my job as well. The point is, government agencies do not generate net tax revenue and should not be the majority employer in any state.

@@redleader7988 how is an education that actually contributes to the country scary??

Royal farms will never take over Wawa

I grew up along the Illinois River and the term I always heard and use to this day is "soda pop". Must be a legacy of living along the border between soda country and pop country!

I love cartography because of my 5th and 6th grade geography teacher! I'm turning 62 next week, so the love is a strong and lasting one! I hope you touched at least one of your students in a like manner. The irony. 😁

@@DerHammerSpricht Hadn’t heard that. If so, it’s due to the public exposure from 2-3 years ago and public outrage!

Though I now live in Maryland, I grew up in Central Jersey (Middlesex County) and didn’t even realize there was a debate about its existence until well into my adulthood. I mean, we have our own area code and everything! I vehemently reject any suggestion that I’m from either North or South Jersey. I worship at the altar of Wawa but Quick Chek is pretty good too; I went to the real Rutgers in New Brunswick, not those fake ones in Newark or Camden; I root for the Devils and the Mets; my school lunch menu said “pork roll,” not Taylor ham like those heathens up north; and I drink neither “co-aw-fee” nor “wooder,” damn it! 😆

I grew up really close to State College (Altoona) lol, Sheetz are everywhere!

@@IdliAmin_TheLastKingofSambar Now I’m curious: what is a “pork roll,” a.k.a. “Taylor ham”? Is is like a pulled pork BBQ sandwich?

@@goosebump801 Hi Goosebump! I can’t claim to be a connoisseur or anything, but basically, pork roll is a processed meat originally created in New Jersey back in the 19th century, and it’s basically the official food of the state. It kind of hard to describe, other than to say that it’s a type of processed pork product that comes packaged in a roll/cylinder shape. I guess I’d describe it as a weird cross between ham, bologna, Canadian bacon (aka back bacon), and regular bacon. You really won’t find it anywhere outside of NJ, other than maybe the occasional sighting around the Philly area and in parts of Delaware. Supposedly it’s made it to Maryland too, but I moved to Maryland last year and have yet to come across it. But I guess the geographies of pork roll and Wawa overlap pretty significantly. Pork roll, egg, and cheese is New Jersey’s breakfast of champions, which is probably why we suffer from a lack of champions lol. When I went to Rutgers, I would get a sausage, egg, and cheese AND a pork roll, egg, and cheese, with alarming regularity. Both on rolls, both with home fries. Because while college kids aren’t known for making outstanding life choices, they are known for being able to eat Tupperware and be fine. There are multiple brands now, but Taylor’s is the original. Apparently, it was first called Taylor’s Prepared Ham, but it didn’t meet the government’s definition of ham so they renamed it Taylor’s Pork Roll (since it’s made of pork, and comes in a roll, I suppose). South Jersey tends to call it pork roll, North Jersey tends to call it Taylor ham. In Central NJ, where I grew up, it seems to be 50-50, but on our school lunch menus, it was always listed as “pork roll,” where it was a weekly staple. That was way longer of an answer than you probably wanted, but it’s a nostalgic thing for me, and it’s a unique and unifying piece of local culture in a state that doesn’t have many of them (notwithstanding disagreements over what to call it!). Thanks for asking! 🥪

When I'm in Central PA I usually find a Rutters so I don't have to go to Sheetz lol.

@jagfruit 1 I was going to suggest that, but I suspect Wawa doesn't have quite the size to easily do that. They could merge, but that seems like a branding nightmare, as both names carry a lot of loyalty. Personally, I don't care for the Hardee's/Carl's Jr. or Checkers/Rallys situations... ;-)

In northern VA we have commercials only for Wawa but only have Sheetz.

Sounds stupid, "wawa". Here in Georgia, never had a "wawa", though I have seen them on road trips. Quick Trip is the most popular gas station in Georgia.

@@willp.8120 Wawa dates back to 1890 as a dairy farm and 1803 as an iron foundry named after the town of Wawa, Pennsylvania dating back to the 1700s. "Wawa" is an Ojibwe word for "wild goose" because of the geese attracted locally, hence the goose as corporate mascot and geese on the signs and corporate motifs. If it still sounds stupid, than I guess you are prejudiced against Native Americans and geese. As for Quick Trip being the most popular gas station in Georgia... Might not be for long. Wawa just recently announced that they will be embarking on a massive expansion program of 900 stores mostly into the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama... and they have the cash to do it. Judging by the growth in Florida, you will likely have several Wawa options by 2030.

@@buckykattnj I doubt Wawa would be more popular than Quick Trip. Besides, we also now have Buc-ees, and it's the king of gas stations.

Definitely grinders here in Western Mass. I had never heard it called a sub until high school when a Subway opened in town. But around here there are so many pizza shops that make wicked good grinders we rarely get Subway.

People in Western Mass still say grinder most of the time. Also I grew up in the Merrimack Valley and we called them 'frappes' not milkshakes, and people were definitely still calling them bubblers when I was in school in the early 2000s. I think the accent up here is a bit different than in the area immediately around Boston, then the accent down near Rhode Island in the SE is even more different than that.

@@colin6722 There was a study of New England dialects in the early 20th Century. If I remember correctly they found that there were seven distinct dialects. But, depending on how dialect is defined there could be more or less. Immigration can alter the language. Saying /ay-ya/ for yes used to be widespread among Yankees, but I've heard it only in northern NE and upstate New York around Syracuse [because of the old influx of New England Yankees there in the 18th-19th Centuries]. I've only met one person in Boston who spoke with an authentic Old Yankee dialect. The high immigration from Ireland seems to have resulted in an Anglo-Irish coloration, I n the NYC area "d" replaced "th" which isn't as common here. Some people I knew in college used to say that my mother had a really strong accent but that I don't.

@@anthonyfillion3231 Growing up in this area [in the 1960's], I never heard that use of wicked except by actors faking a Boston accent.

@@anthonyfillion3231 Italian sandwich shops make much better food. My favorite was a meatball grinder with green peppers and spicy sauce. You've made me hungry for it and the only place I know to get things that good is Archie's Deli at Downtown Crossing in Boston, and the train trip wouldn't be worth it. In any case I would dither and probably get roast beef or roast beef Reuben.

End result of all those mom & pop shops getting edged out by big box stores. It's only natural the big box stores would end up employing more people than anyone else. Especially when a bunch of them start to go belly up, and business gets consolidated amongst the few that have managed to survive.

@@kuuryotwo5153 I used to paint new Walmart stores. Walmart would build those where local stores didn't have much to offer since their business districts had been dying for years. The new Walmart stores brought in traffic from all around so their business districts came back to life with new stores selling what Walmart didn't offer. Other businesses would build new locations near the Walmart which provided more job opportunities for the local residents. The small town governments liked Walmart since one store could bring in so many new businesses with all providing a substantial amount of sales and property tax revenue that was sorely needed.
