nj stereotypes

People LOVE to hate New Jersey, but a map that's gone viral on social media might be the most accurate list of stereotypes yet... and it's hilarious.

To outsiders, New Jersey often called "the armpit of America." 9 specific sights and sounds prove that couldn't be further from the truth.

Think there's any truth in these five NJ stereotypes? You be the judge. Make sure you laugh, though, too.

The purpose of this project was two-fold. First, to explain the ways and awesomeness of New Jersey to the world. And secondly, to have a laugh at the sayings and misunderstandings that drive us nuts!
