The State Of New Jersey Just Started A Feud With Pennsylvania With A Single Tweet
The girls are fighting again (and by girls, I mean literal states).
New Jersey is starting beef with neighboring states again!
If you remember, Connecticut announced new road signs a couple of weeks ago.
Welcome to Connecticut!

We've updated the signs that greet visitors as they enter our state.
🏀Basketball signs on I-91, I-84, and I-395 from MA
🍕Pizza signs on I-95 and I-84 from NY
🌊Submarine signs on I-95 from RI
👩🍳Foodie signs on US Route 6 from RI pic.twitter.com/rV3vCeg8Mn
This one called Connecticut the "Pizza Capital of the United States," and that set the state of New Jersey off.
The official New Jersey X account asked Secretary of Transporation Pete Buttigieg if it was "legal to lie on road signs."
is it legal to lie on road signs @SecretaryPete ?? asking for a friend. https://t.co/qbubxjSlhI

The governor of New Jersey chimed in saying, "You're not even the pizza capital of the tri-state area."

And, well, let me tell you: New Jersey is at it again!
The Creepy.org account on X asked what the saddest place on earth is, and the state of New Jersey couldn't keep their mouth shut.
If Disneyland is the “happiest” place on Earth, where do you think is the “saddest” place on earth?

They're calling Jersey a "drive-through state."
lol Jersey exists as a suburb of NYC and Philly. People can’t even name a city in your drive-through state. https://t.co/G6e43Ij1kw
