List of U.S. state snack foods[edit]

I fail to see why those snack foods are "official" in certain US States. As far as I know; there's no kind of law that makes these kind of things official. This is, to my beliefs, a hoax, delete. -- SoothingR 15:43, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of U.S. state foods. It looks like most states haven't bothered to choose a snack food. I should call my senators and yell at them. --Merovingian (t) (c) 15:48, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment; this article has existed for almost a year and is very visible in the US state insignia template. If it's a hoax, then it's a good one. It is, at best, {{unsourced}} like all those insignia lists. Gerrit ^CUTEDH 16:09, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It's verifiable[1]. Gazpacho 17:25, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Move to List of U.S. state foods. Also, there's Massachusetts[2], Utah[3], Texas[4]; can't find evidence for hotdish (but the official Minnesota muffin is blueberry[5]). Hee. jengod 20:29, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of U.S. state foods per above. --Jacquelyn Marie 19:19, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax for half the entries.Gateman1997 22:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to List of U.S. state foods since there is no such page already in existance to "merge" to, include information on other state foods including the state beverage of Ohio (tomato juice). Many of these are verifiable http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodfaq4.html. Crypticfirefly 01:09, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merged. I don't know if it is considered correct or not, but I created a page for List of U.S. state foods to replace whatever had previously been deleted there and merged in the small amount of info from the snack foods page. Crypticfirefly 01:50, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep at List of U.S. state foods. I've removed the entries don't appear in enacted laws. Gazpacho 01:48, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
