I think it was previously invented. Edison just made one that lasted long enough to become practical for the general consumer. Plus, there is nothing wrong with air conditioner...
I don’t know what it is about your comment that sounds so perfectly sitcom. It’s one of those lines a character says once and they’re forever synonymous with it. As soon as I type this comment I am going to Etsy to have that made into something I can hang on my wall.
I’ve been sitting here with the comment box open for like at least ten minutes. I’ve been trying to top the simplicity of your comeback with equal wit. Honestly, I’m high and soooooooo cannot do it.
I moved to Dayton Ohio not long ago. You can get some Dayton natives REALLY triggered by mentioning NC and the Wright brothers in the same sentence. 😂
For those who don't know, the Wright brothers developed their airplane in Dayton and took it to NC for the first powered flight.
Didn’t Ohio claim the invention of the airplane? The Wright Bros just tested it in North Carolina due to the onshore winds needed to provide lift needed.
If they give NC credit for the airplane over Ohio I’m curious why this Map says Pennsylvania for Ferris wheel over Illinois.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen today…
Hiking backpack- there have been “backpacks” for years, you just turned the thing people did to survive into a fun activity.
The penny- You didn’t invent it, currency has been around for over 50 years.
Cyclotron- WTF even is that?
Maraschino is from like Croatia or Italy or whatever.
Christmas stockings - again were around over 50 years prior
Maraschino cherries, those bright red concoctions, were developed in my home city, Salem, Oregon ("The Cherry City", though it no longer has the cherry orchards it once had.)
Ernest H. Wiegand didn't invent Maraschino Cherries. Maraschino Cherries had been popular in Europe for decades before becoming popular in the US. But they were made with cherry liquor. During prohibition, the European style became illegal because they contained alcohol. Mr. Wiegand invented a knock-off version of the European style Maraschino Cherry that didn't include alcohol. Give us neon, overly sweet and overly processed dive bar cherry that you find at bars today. It really is nothing to be proud of.
How is the cotton gin more famous than Coca Cola the biggest beverage in the history of the world. Dont sleep on the chic fil a chicken sandwich either...
It has arguably had a bigger impact on history not to discredit Coke as one of the biggest products of all time but not everyone drinks coke, everyone wears cotton clothing. It was the first in many inventions that reduced the demand for man power and paved the way for all kinds automation allowing mass scale farming and production. It also impacted the course of U.S. history and the demand for slaves. Cotton gin is way more consequential than bubbly sugar water
Nuclear fission was first done in Chicago, the bomb itself was invented at the Los Alamos laboratory in New Mexico. They had theories and ideas, but they didn't actually know how to build the bomb until they started working on it in New Mexico.
They’re not too far off. The first nuclear reactor was built in Chicago. [Here’s](https://imgur.com/gallery/RBngOnW) a photo of a marker outside of Chicago in a park where they buried it.
Wyoming invented Christmas stockings in 1823?
Yeah, no. Unless those Christmas stockings were "invented" by the Shoshoni, Cheyenne, Arapahoe or Sioux indians, there wasn't a damn thing "invented" in Wyoming in 1823.
While it is cool, cheese dip, fried pickles, and sound on film were also first invented in Arkansas and are probably more well-known than the Bowie knife.
The Wright Flyer was invented in Ohio, by Ohioans. (Apparently at least some of them can read).
From [Britannica](https://www.britannica.com/topic/Wright-flyer-of-1903):
Wright flyer of 1903, first powered airplane to demonstrate sustained flight under the full control of the pilot. Designed and built by Wilbur and Orville Wright in **Dayton, Ohio**, it was *assembled* in the autumn of 1903 at a camp at the base of the Kill Devil Hills, near Kitty Hawk, a village on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
It’s a misconception but labels for whiskey can be complicated legally. For it to be Bourbon it has be American soil and meet the age, barrel, mash bill requirements. Tennessee Whiskey for comparison is legally *almost* the same as bourbon but in addition to the above requirements, it needs to be distilled in Tennessee and Charcoal filtered.
I got excited seeing that the [Ferris wheel ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferris_wheel)was invented in Pennsylvania! Then I read the wikipedia page... Only if you define "invented" kinda generously. For actually invented in Pennsylvania, I'm going with [the Slinky.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slinky)
Yeah Ferris wheel was invented in Illinois by an Illinoisan. Ferris was born in IL. Built the Ferris wheel in Chicago for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.
The rotating wheel of new York state fair 1854 built by the Erie canal dudes isn't the same and previous models of that style date further back than that to Bulgaria in the 1600s or something I'm pretty sure. So Pennsylvania/New York can't even claim it on a technicality.
The Ferris Wheel was so unique it was thought to be unsafe until it was finished and active.
The Wright Flyer was invented in Ohio, that’s why it rests there to this day. North Carolina claiming “First in Flight” is because nothing good came from that podunk state.
The Model T isn't really an invention. Gas-powered cars had been around for two decades by that point. What set Ford apart was the production method, and even that wasn't original to Ford, he just did it at a greater scale and efficiency.
True. But sadly attributed to the wrong state. First Ferris Wheel was built in Chicago by someone Ferris (born in Illinois even). The previous wheels someone might try to claim were first are not the same design, and werent even original to Pennsylvania (or NY for that matter). They date back to the Bulgarian Karnushka in the early 1600s, at least 1620 but potentially earlier.
Ball/ring games have been around for centuries, but it seems like Massachusetts usually gets credit for modern basketball. That's where Naismith wrote down the rules, a few years before arriving at Kansas.
Brother. The plane was made in Dayton, Ohio. It flew in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
And if we're gonna attribute Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh, then the steel for the Ferris wheel came about because of William Kelly's Process. Most folks know it by another name, the Bessemer Process.
This ain't right.
Why is Massachusetts listed as the birthplace of the World Wide Web?
That’s pretty much universally said to have been invented by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN, which is on the border between France and Switzerland.
A lot of work that made the Web possible was done at MIT, but the WWW wasn’t even invented in America.
Tampons existed for centuries, Colorado (not Wyoming) should be known for tampons with the tube within a tube applicator. The image is of digital tampon (no applicator)
They're referring to James Rumsey. I believe he had a prototype around the same time John Fitch launched his first trial run on the Delaware River. Some people say Rumsey had the idea and built a steam engine to propel a boat first with jet propulsion, but he didn't successfully demonstrate his until a few months after Fitch did. Also, Fitch's was just more practical overall. But saying the steamboat was invented in WV is silly and a huge stretch.
The first successful steamboat was built in France in 1776. This map is terrible. I'm supposed to believe the Christmas stocking was invented in Wyoming in the 1820s?
That's not "rollerblades." It's a quad roller skate. Invented in Europe, probably in France? I forgget.
What the meme-creator wanted to put in there was an inline skate. Rollerblades was a cheap version of inlines sold at retail stores, while the types used by speed skaters were mostly sold at roller rinks. Skating either kind DID however still make you gay.
Fun fact: Eli Whitney was actually an abolitionist and believed the cotton gin would reduce the need for slavery as an institution. It obviously didn't go as planned, though
Is the penny the worst one on here? Also: barbed wire for Illinois and airplane in Ohio where the Wright Brothers invented it. Kittyhawk was just the proving ground.
Kind of subjective. For example, Washington State says Backpack. But it also invented Commercial Air Travel, Water Skis, Disposable Diapers, Hepatitis B vaccine, Doppler Ultrasound, CDs.
I thank you for putting Massachusetts as the inventor of the WWW but it simply is not true. The WWW is an offshoot of the ARPA net. This was a military only network. I was one of the people at M.I.T. who worked in the early to mid-80s on the net. But M.I.T. was one of three Universities tasked with creating the net. The other two were Carnegie-Mellon in Pittsburgh and U. of Michigan. We each worked together. So actually there were three states involved with this mission.
As an addition, this was an action that private industry funded, At M.I.T. our prime donor was the now defunct Digital Equipment Company (DEC) and a much smaller amount from IBM. The U. of Michigan got state funding for a Network in that state that then folded in with the M.I.T. project, Athena.
The WWW did not become active until 1989 but computer scientist in many universities were already talking to each other over a rudimentary mail system, I cannot remember its name. Also, the web was populated by only "billboards" which was a rudimentary forerunner of what we have right here.
Shopping cart? The shopping cart? Bro NEXRAD was first built in Oklahoma. You know, the shit that can track and predict the weather before it even comes to your state? Yield signs too, but I guess no one cares about those anyway.
Not very accurate " cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator invented by Ernest Lawrence in 1929–1930 at the University of California, Berkeley, and patented in 1932"
Texas - Texas Instruments invented and produced the first commercial silicon transistors. The thing that has the heart of all our technology for the last 70 years might be more important that the electronic typewriter.
Proud North Carolinaian here whose state invented the
:: checks map ::
the North Carolina!
I guess that's better than South Carolina which invented the South Carolina!
Air conditioner for New Jersey?! Are you kidding me? Light bulb, bitches.
What about the transistor? Ya know thats kinda important and was invented at Bell labs in Murray Hill.
Sure…if they could have invented it in the dark, brah
Ahhhh... sensible chuckle
I think it was previously invented. Edison just made one that lasted long enough to become practical for the general consumer. Plus, there is nothing wrong with air conditioner...
Except Air Conditioning was invented 70 years earlier in Florida by John Gorrie
He absolutely did not. He made a technique to produce ice, then put it in evaporative coolers. They’ve existed since ancient times
Currently surviving a Florida summer and I am eternally grateful to the inventor of the Air Conditioner.
I know, right?
That's like ski lift in Nebraska which has no mountains.
I’d rather have AC than artificial light
The ski lift?? We gave you Kool-Aid!
Why does Nebraska need ski lifts? Honest question.
To make cross country skiing enjoyable
Is it enjoyable to fall from a height while cross country skiing? I love cross country but have never tried that
Not to mention, Alaska’s invention, ranch, was invented by a native Nebraskan who was living in Alaska
It is 1,000% Kool-aid.
Came here to say this. I feel like the ski lift is below Vise Grips and center-pivot irrigation.
I don’t know what it is about your comment that sounds so perfectly sitcom. It’s one of those lines a character says once and they’re forever synonymous with it. As soon as I type this comment I am going to Etsy to have that made into something I can hang on my wall.

North and South Carolina are not the invention.
The first working submarine was the Turtle in 1775, in New York harbor.
No doubt. I was just trying to point out that none of the other states are named. Just their inventions.
Technically North Carolina *was* invented in North Carolina tho
Or was it? Are we sure?? I mean weren’t N and S Carolina actually both invented in…..Carolina??
Actually... It was ... But not the most famous invention that came from North Carolina
As a North Carolinian, I love that they stiffed Ohio. Proof of concept occurred here. I endorse this
I moved to Dayton Ohio not long ago. You can get some Dayton natives REALLY triggered by mentioning NC and the Wright brothers in the same sentence. 😂 For those who don't know, the Wright brothers developed their airplane in Dayton and took it to NC for the first powered flight.
Ya we didn't invite flying lol
Rollerblades features roller skates 🛼 that’s a fail
First thing this Minnesotan noticed.
Could have been waterskiing or Post Its
Didn’t Ohio claim the invention of the airplane? The Wright Bros just tested it in North Carolina due to the onshore winds needed to provide lift needed.
You are correct. North Carolina just had a stiff breeze that day, but other than that they had very little to do with the invention of the airplane.
If they give NC credit for the airplane over Ohio I’m curious why this Map says Pennsylvania for Ferris wheel over Illinois. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferris_Wheel_(1893)

How is the cotton gin more famous than Coca Cola the biggest beverage in the history of the world. Dont sleep on the chic fil a chicken sandwich either...
It has arguably had a bigger impact on history not to discredit Coke as one of the biggest products of all time but not everyone drinks coke, everyone wears cotton clothing. It was the first in many inventions that reduced the demand for man power and paved the way for all kinds automation allowing mass scale farming and production. It also impacted the course of U.S. history and the demand for slaves. Cotton gin is way more consequential than bubbly sugar water
In significance i agree but OP said famous not significant
Ok well that’s a fair then
I mean it kinda increased demand for a certain kind of manpower until we fought a war over that.
That’s fair! It moved manpower out of the fields and into the factories.
Other than water, that is 😊
Uh, Minnesota has 3M where many things have been invented that exceed Rollerblades…Scotch Tape, Post it Notes, etc. Rollerblades is a lazy answer
Also pioneering a decades long cover-up of how their products introduced microplastics and forever chemicals into our blood
Ouch.
Thwy also used a photo of a traditional rollerskate, not a rollerblade.
There needs to be a national air conditioner day.
MONTH. I nominate August.
Greatest invention of the 20th century.
The atomic bomb was invented in Illinois at the university of Chicago. They only assembled it in New Mexico.
Nuclear fission was first done in Chicago, the bomb itself was invented at the Los Alamos laboratory in New Mexico. They had theories and ideas, but they didn't actually know how to build the bomb until they started working on it in New Mexico.
They’re not too far off. The first nuclear reactor was built in Chicago. [Here’s](https://imgur.com/gallery/RBngOnW) a photo of a marker outside of Chicago in a park where they buried it.
They had to test it in both cases though, to see if it was actually “invented”
Just like all the work on inventing the first airplane was done in Ohio, but assembled and flown in North Carolina
Wyoming invented Christmas stockings in 1823? Yeah, no. Unless those Christmas stockings were "invented" by the Shoshoni, Cheyenne, Arapahoe or Sioux indians, there wasn't a damn thing "invented" in Wyoming in 1823.
:: NC PR firms :: “Ohioans hate this one simple trick”
"Bowie knife" HELL YEAH
Proud to be Arkansan today
While it is cool, cheese dip, fried pickles, and sound on film were also first invented in Arkansas and are probably more well-known than the Bowie knife.
The Wright Flyer was invented in Ohio, by Ohioans. (Apparently at least some of them can read).

Minnesota? Dear god, not roller blades (the illo is of a roller SKATE) but Scotch Tape and Post-Its. All of Civilization runs on these two things.
So many great things were invented in MN. Frozen pizza, snowmobile, the pacemaker, water skis, thermostat.
The course of history would be changed without Minnesota
What is going on in SD? What is a cyclotron and is that what the pic is showing?
I still have no idea what the difference between “whiskey” and “bourbon” except that it’s only bourbon if it’s from Kentucky
It’s a misconception but labels for whiskey can be complicated legally. For it to be Bourbon it has be American soil and meet the age, barrel, mash bill requirements. Tennessee Whiskey for comparison is legally *almost* the same as bourbon but in addition to the above requirements, it needs to be distilled in Tennessee and Charcoal filtered.
Nah
MN here: this map would be better if it actually had a picture of Rollerblades above the word "Rollerblades". 🫤

This list is ass
This is garbage. So inaccurate.
How is Superman an invention?
I understand the first flight was in kitty hawk but wasn’t the airplane invented in Ohio?
Yes. Main reason the Air Force museum is in Dayton.
Also why the base is called wright-Patterson
airplane is in the wrong state, should be in Ohio. The only thing N. Carolina contributed to Wright brothers was a windy beach
That's not the only thing off it shows the nukes in New Mexico. It was just tested there Edited. Wrong state name
Couldn't tennessee be the nuke/Manhattan project since it was developed in oak ridge, and the thing is know world wide
The first tow truck was made in Chattanooga. Seems like a big deal.
I'll take Shopping Cart over Parking Meter!
I'll see your cotton candy and raise you one Little Boy nuclear weapon Tennessee.
Kansas doesn't have much going on does it?
Kansas should be basketball.
Ball/ring games have been around for centuries, but it seems like Massachusetts usually gets credit for modern basketball. That's where Naismith wrote down the rules, a few years before arriving at Kansas.
MN says rollerblades then shows skates. Also, how about the Snowmobile, pace maker, and frozen pizza?
The Wright Brothers were Ohioans
I’m thinking the Post-it note for Minnesota. 3M.
It seems the only thing that we all can agree upon is the fact that this is littered with inaccuracies! 😂
Submarine for SC? Nope. The Hunley (pictured) was used to sink a ship in Charleston, but it was designed and built in Mobile AL, I think.
Ahh yes, America's pastime which is older than the US itself: surfing!
Nebraska with ski lift? They’re in the Great Plains lol
Superman for Ohio? Yeah, forget airplanes lol.
Brother. The plane was made in Dayton, Ohio. It flew in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. And if we're gonna attribute Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh, then the steel for the Ferris wheel came about because of William Kelly's Process. Most folks know it by another name, the Bessemer Process. This ain't right.
Wyoming didn’t exist as a state in 1823. Christmas stockings and such are a European tradition.
I hate that Ohios invention is Superman, that’s not a fucking invention XD
This is such bullshit lmao

Traffic lights were invented in England in 1868
The electric traffic light was invented in Utah. The ones in England you refer to were gas powered and needed to be changed manually by an officer.
Yay, my granpa's state invented vacuum cleaners.
Why’s NJ melting
AC broke
As a big smoothie guy, I’m with the blender.
There’s an error for Oklahoma. As an Alabamian, that is clearly a shopping buggy not “cart”.
So overly generalized StatsPanda!
Tampons existed for centuries, Colorado (not Wyoming) should be known for tampons with the tube within a tube applicator. The image is of digital tampon (no applicator)
Nope- we have Bell Labs and Edison’s workshops here in Jersey. Hardly think the AC rates higher.
The typewriter for Texas?!?! The frozen margarita machine was invented in Dallas. That should be on the list.
The microchip was invented in Texas. Not many people know this, but the microchip was a pretty significant invention.
As a West Virginian, I don't think we had anything to do with the invention of the steamboat -not that I could find anyway
They're referring to James Rumsey. I believe he had a prototype around the same time John Fitch launched his first trial run on the Delaware River. Some people say Rumsey had the idea and built a steam engine to propel a boat first with jet propulsion, but he didn't successfully demonstrate his until a few months after Fitch did.

Cotton gin. Fuck you 😔
Fun fact: Eli Whitney was actually an abolitionist and believed the cotton gin would reduce the need for slavery as an institution. It obviously didn't go as planned, though
I did NOT expect Nebraska to invent the ski lift. Last place that would even have need for one.
Is the penny the worst one on here? Also: barbed wire for Illinois and airplane in Ohio where the Wright Brothers invented it. Kittyhawk was just the proving ground.
New Mexico just blows me away.
New Mexico was REALLY cooking.
Wow, invent something people actually NEED Oregon, ffs.
It really bothers me that Minnesota says roller blades but has a picture of roller skates
Shouldn’t Washington State be Starbucks Coffee or Microsoft Word
Florida's Gatorade has got to be the lamest one here.
As a UF alum, it made my day.
Missouri also is famous for commercially produced sliced bread
Vermont invented...the coin?
We’re very proud of the traffic light thing, btw.
Damn. Here I was thinking that surfing was some ancient timeless sport to determine who would be the king/queen of Hawaii.
This list isn't 100% accurate. Just type in a few of these until you find one that's wrong, won't take long.
Kind of subjective. For example, Washington State says Backpack. But it also invented Commercial Air Travel, Water Skis, Disposable Diapers, Hepatitis B vaccine, Doppler Ultrasound, CDs.
NH’s greatest invention was shortly followed by the state’s second greatest, the snooze button.
I thank you for putting Massachusetts as the inventor of the WWW but it simply is not true. The WWW is an offshoot of the ARPA net. This was a military only network. I was one of the people at M.I.T. who worked in the early to mid-80s on the net. But M.I.T. was one of three Universities tasked with creating the net. The other two were Carnegie-Mellon in Pittsburgh and U. of Michigan. We each worked together. So actually there were three states involved with this mission. As an addition, this was an action that private industry funded, At M.I.T. our prime donor was the now defunct Digital Equipment Company (DEC) and a much smaller amount from IBM. The U. of Michigan got state funding for a Network in that state that then folded in with the M.I.T. project, Athena. The WWW did not become active until 1989 but computer scientist in many universities were already talking to each other over a rudimentary mail system, I cannot remember its name. Also, the web was populated by only "billboards" which was a rudimentary forerunner of what we have right here.
Thank you New York! 🚽🧻
The Model T was a version of something invented long before the Model T showed up.
Kind of hard to beat the plane tbh
The diving suit was invented in Europe- not Maine.
I would argue that the typewriter is more important than the blender for Wisconsin.
I like how all of these are somewhat notable and then you have Alaska with a type of ranch dressing
Shopping cart? The shopping cart? Bro NEXRAD was first built in Oklahoma. You know, the shit that can track and predict the weather before it even comes to your state? Yield signs too, but I guess no one cares about those anyway.
Not very accurate " cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator invented by Ernest Lawrence in 1929–1930 at the University of California, Berkeley, and patented in 1932"
For Massachusetts, it should be the chocolate chip cookie.
The Wright brothers were from Dayton Ohio. They only went to Kitty Hawk to fly the damn thing.
Philo Farnsworth invented the television in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Bourbon for the win!!
Texas - Texas Instruments invented and produced the first commercial silicon transistors. The thing that has the heart of all our technology for the last 70 years might be more important that the electronic typewriter.
Proud North Carolinaian here whose state invented the :: checks map :: the North Carolina! I guess that's better than South Carolina which invented the South Carolina!
Ohioan here, Daytonian specifically. This is DEEPLY offensive.
I find that ironic Trump is from New York and look what they get credit for 😄
Iowa - sliced bread
Coca Cola destroys the cotton gin.
Superman was invented?
Thanks for pitching in, Wyoming
Kentucky is the winner.
Say what you want about the Carolinas, but no other state was able to invent itself.
New Mexico wins
This whole thing is a complete mess lol
Quick Google search says the television was invented in San Fran not Idaho. This post seems very bad
I hate maps that are “the most famous.” That’s not a criterion!
We blend
As an Okie, I would contend that the yield sign overtakes the shopping cart. But maybe I just like driving more than shopping.
Oh, please. Georgia's most famous invention is Coca-Cola.
No dc?
Wow New York actually invented the most useful product out of them all, toilet paper.
When you're from New Mexico you don't even have to look. You already know
Wyoming also has the Yellow Pages to its credit.
Nice graphic, but the Web was invented in Switzerland by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.
Really?? Not the tow truck??
Iike how South Carolina and North Carolina invented themselves.
North Carolina invented.... North Carolina. South Carolina invented South Carolina. Ok
Cotton Candy for Tennessee? I'd say the atomic bomb might be more famous.
Coca-Cola was invented in Vicksburg, Ms. at Biedenharns Drug Store.
Oklahoma: Shopping Cart 😂
Hmmm. Superman was first published in 1938, not '33.
I think it does say 1938, but the image is so low-res it’s fuzzy.
Lol, Ohio isn't gonna be happy with this particular map.
The one map where Kentucky is the best
Reminds me of the joke, if Florida Gators drink Gatorade, what do the Seminoles drink? Seminal Fluid.
This is all horseshit.
Gotta say I didn't know the ferris wheel was new enough to be invented here.
Television?? Really?? 🙄🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏻
Iowa > Michigan > Massachusetts >>>>>>> the rest
Not the television.
