I love PA.

What food do you associate with my home state?

Wet bottom sho-fly pie, cheese steaks, and Yuengling.

Tastykake snack cakes in 3rd place

Utz, Martin's, and Snyders chips/pretzels/snacks all tie 2nd place.

First place is the American icon itself, the Hershey chocolate bar.

I say hoagies more than steaks for the state since steaks are more of a Philly thing than PA.

It’s a Jeep thing...

That's what I always associated to PA before I moved here.  My dad loved the stuff, and had it every time we came back to visit.

Now I'm hooked on it and buy it by the 5lb block at the butcher

If you're going statewide I'd go scrapple and Yuengling beer.  Most of the stuff on your list is either far left of far right (of the state).   My stuff is in the middle :)

You'd be amazed how much scrapple I ate as a kid.

A Yuengling hangover is called a "yinger"

Some people swear it's different that other hangovers.  I never noticed it.

Did anyone mention A-Treat soda?

Ditto - that's one reason why I was an overweight lad

I don't remember my PA grandmother not having both bacon, sausage, and coffee ready for breakfast.

Main dish was usually pancakes or waffles.


My cop uncle would show up with local non-chain doughnuts.

I miss the '70s.

It depends on what side or maybe even corner of the state
SW Pa - from your list, pierogies

80% of all pretzels consumed in the US are made in PA. I think that might count..

Loved A-Treat soda as a kid. Going with the Old man to the beer distributor and my brother and I got to pick what flavors we wanted.
We'd get a case of the glass returnable bottles. What were they 24oz or 32oz? That was good soda. Made with sugar, not the HFCS shit made now.

No love for Whoopie pies?

I have some Amish around me that make incredible whoopie pies that are moist and perfect

If you travel around the US and you tell someone you're from PA, they only really think of cheesesteaks.  Unless they are within 200 miles of PA, they generally have no idea that Philly and Pittsburgh are so far away from each other in both distance and culture.  Philly is in the northeast/mid-atlantic, Pittsburgh is the midwest.
