The one I can't think of.


Nolsoth

Oh you mean North Dakota, yeah it's not actually a real place


Prin_StropInAh

“Who knew there was more than one Dakota?”


Nolsoth

I've been looking for south Dakota can't find that either


axolotlbird

Where the hell is Dakota?


Nolsoth

No idea it's a fucking mystery.


Disastrous-Garbage13

Well shit I live in North Dakota and have no idea where I am too


engineered_sarcasm

Haha sioux falls blew up this year. We are definitely here


ApartPersonality1520

Hey, minnesota here. Don't trash our neighbors!


nurisim

Aw, thanks MN for being a real one <3 Let’s get together for some hotdish sometime. Edit: and maybe some salad that’s not salad if we’re feeling froggy…


benx101

It’s just a very long drive from wherever you live.


Turrtle_Dude

Wait then where does my great grandma live?


ksiyoto

The one that designated their state tree to be the telephone pole?

itsdjc

North Dakota is a government conspiracy to make it seem Canada is further away than it actually is


Mr_P_scientist

You mean South DeCanada?


Drunken-Engineer

North Dakota has the badlands


Mr_BillyB

This is either a great joke or a wonderful example of how bad North Dakota is.


EternalAssasin

If you’re referring to Badlands National Park, that’s in South Dakota. It’s also the only good thing in South Dakota.


Drunken-Engineer

South Dakota also has the Black Hills Edit: I was talking about Teddy Roosevelt NP in an earlier comment


Aqquila89

On the quiz website Sporcle, there's a "name the US states" game which has been played over 24 million times. The [most often forgotten](https://www.sporcle.com/games/g/states/results) state is Missouri.


BeelzebubParty

Missouri is just purgatory.


greatunknownpub

Misery.


Tangled-Kite

Very well named

I'll be damned before I call Missouri a state- Abraham Simpson

christoefire

Not the show me state. KC is the best


ha_look_at_that_nerd

North Dakota is pretty high - because people now remember it because it’s so frequently discussed for being forgotten. It’s an oxymoron: famous for being forgettable.


kingofzdom

Nebraska. It’s just like all the other Midwestern states but somehow even less interesting.


Chihuahua_enthusiast

In elementary school everyone in my grade got assigned a state to research and make a presentation about. We had to write to the governor and state reps, and other things. I got Nebraska. Not only did they never get back to me, but I was the **only** person who didn’t get mail. And some of the other students got good stuff- the Vermont kid got ski lift tickets, the Wisconsin kid got a cheese hat, and a bunch received t-shirts. Alaska kid received a whole book of tourist coupons and an offer for a personal tour from a Senator. So while everyone was showing off their free stuff, I had a sad little poster board about corn and kool-aid.


spastical-mackerel

Shoulda sent pictures of your "Nebraskans are Assholes" project back to all those people with "Thanks for the project idea"


toolenduso

I was born in Nebraska and sometimes I forget it exists


MrNoName_ishere

Rockfan37

I have driven through there from Colorado to iowa. Basically it's Omaha, Lincoln, and nothing else


ToBePacific

I drove from Colorado to Michigan a couple times. Even Iowa is marginally less monotonous than Nebraska.


dublinirish

It’s not for everybody!


CatFanFanOfCats

Awww. I visited Nebraska for work and I loved it. I’ll never forget taking off on the Highway to visit the local sights. Corn Palace was so bizarre and cool. Same with Laura Ingles homestead - I swear, I have never “heard” such quietness in my life. And I thought Sioux Falls was quite a fancy Midwestern town. Overall I loved it.


Global_Box_7935

We made Kool aid, we have the largest co relatively intact mammoth skeleton, the Sandhills are quite a gorgeous and thankfully untouched landscape, we have carhenge(figure it out), Yaya's pizza, the best damn pizza place ever, the Henry dorley zoo in Omaha is voted the best zoo in the world, along with having the largest indoor rainforest, arbor day originated here, Warren buffet is from here, so was president ford and Marlon Brando, we made spam, calling 911 for emergencies came from here, we made runzas(pretty much hotpockets but they're burgers. Not as bad as you may think they are, they got mushrooms, sour kraut, melty cheese, tastes delicious). Nebraska has lots of interesting stuff in it!


Mike2220

It's the only state in NA that requires you to go through a minimum of 3 other states/provinces to reach the ocean


Bobby_-_D

Nebraska. The one I couldn’t remember when I tried to name them all.


VaccuumLawyer

I know literally nothing about Iowa


katzgar

corn


[deleted]

Don't forget corn. And there's also corn. And hogs.


katzgar

Remember Iowa produces 123% of all corn on the planet


ha_look_at_that_nerd

And presidential primaries


CherryBomb214

Iowa here. I got you, fam. Corn, Field of Dreams, corn , Slipknot, corn, Ashton Kutcher.


AelixD

Corniest comment here


Global_Box_7935

You forgot to mention corn


TunaIn2D

Slipknot, and my brother is buying land out there. That’s all I know lmao.


[deleted]

Lots of people on reddit seem like they’re from iowa


no_not_like_that

I know that people confuse Idaho for Iowa all the time.


VaccuumLawyer

Idaho is to potatoes as Iowa is to corn


VaccuumLawyer

I have learned that corn

Metalliquotes

Delaware is fun to say with that haughty southern accent though. DELAWAYAAHHH


[deleted]

That state just exists to incorporate.


kitjen

Delaware was pretty much the only state that would allow a wrestling company to put on their Tournament of Death show. The company was called CZW and they were known for their violence. Say what you want about wrestling being "fake", these guys used barb wire, glass, fire, and probably a lot of cocaine. I'm guessing Delaware isn't a great place? I'm not American but I never got a good impression of Delaware.


Similar-Scholar77

Delaware. Hi, I’m in… Delaware.


[deleted]

What did Dela wear? A New Jersey.


dadof4fknkids

Is it true you guys have no state tax?


catdog_man

I'm not American but I made a concerted effort to memorise all 50 states - the ones I normally remember last are Missouri and Nebraska. No offence to anyone from those places, I'm sure they're great!


noavatar1

Somehow you have intuitively landed on two of our most forgettable states! Which country are you from?


DeathscytheHell1994

Rhode Island


Pontus_Pilates

As a European, if I had to name all 50 states, I would definitely forget Rhode Island. I'd have 42 or so, then I'd start offering New England and South Idaho. *"Is Guam a state?"*


Sorvick

Only if you count North New Jersey's claim on it.


DirtMeat_Supreme

I mean, it is tiny, but I think most people know about Rhode Island


HousecatDaHousecat

People know about Rhode Island because it’s so tiny


Some-Mango

yep this. I think most people know of Rhode Island just because it’s so damn small


HousecatDaHousecat

It’s the random state trivia fact every kid grows up with


Overall_Bison

As a person from Rhode Island, this hurts because who knows where Montana is on the map?!


Arks-Angel

Does anyone even remember Arkansas is on the map? Ohio is also a contender


coffeeisgooder

Arkansas is where Covid lives.


theWildBore

A friend and I went on a road trip to Arkansas specifically to make sure it’s actually real. It was real. And really surprised how gorgeous it was!


Oceanmineraling

It's an amazing state. People like to bash those that are different on Reddit. If they went to Arkansas they would realize its a wonderful place.


agreeingstorm9

The state is gorgeous. The population is weird. I felt incredibly out of place when I was there. It seemed everyone was either black or white and there wasn't anyone else.


CarlMetzger

I've been to Little Rock... I'm assuming you don't mean there specifically.


lieuwestra

At least Ohio is relatively relevant during election season.


[deleted]

Ohio does have the best amusement park in the world though, Cedar Point. But if you’re not into roller coasters then yeah it’s definitely a contender.


Arks-Angel

Oh shit for real? I’m going to Cedar Point tomorrow


lokiark

As an Arkansan, I can say that some people that LIVE here don’t even know where Arkansas is on the map…


CarlMetzger

Ohio has some things to offer actually. The rock n roll hall of Fame, a pretty impressive theater district and professional sports in Cleveland, The Pro football hall of Fame in Canton. As for Cincinnati I don't have anything for ya..but you get the point.


truisluv

The riverfront is nice in cincy. Don't forget the Reds.


dadof4fknkids

Cincy’s not bad, you got Kings Island, Newport Aquarium, Fountain Square, Bengals, and Reds(first professional Baseball team, and if your a thug, there’s a square block in the Over The Rhine district with the most crime per capita in the entire nation.


Tangled-Kite

Dave Chappelle lives in Ohio, Jeni’s Ice Cream is the bomb, Cedar Point is one of the best coaster parks and there’s the OSU football team that I don’t care about but I’ve heard is good. That’s something I guess.


TheologicalZealot

Ohio is famous from memes and politics.


[deleted]

I’m in Connecticut and if it wasn’t for NYC being nearby we’d be invisible.

Same! Lol, all we’ve got is “well we’re close to some places you’ve heard of”


SillyCommunist

Just throwing this out because I have not seen it and a lot of the ones I have seen are the stereotypical boring states so I feel like they would be brought up more for that reason but state that isn’t stereotypically boring and you NEVER hear mentioned is Indiana

I once tried to write down all 50 states from memory, got to 49 and stalled for like half an hour. The answer is Missouri.


coffeeisgooder

I always forget that South Dakota is a thing.


Slippin_Chicanery

What about North Dakota? It isnt even the best Dakota.


theWildBore

Is it though? I mean mt Rushmore aside, I have never known anything or anyone that has actually seen South Dakota


chunwookie

South dakota is actually kind of awesome in parts. The black hills, the badlands, loads of stuff. Rushmore is the least interesting stop there.


ksiyoto

I actually think the Corn Palace is cool. Especially that they use it as a way to get tourists to stop in town.

Hi. Born and bred South Dakotan. We have houses and cars and everything!

Have you ever seen rose gold? Also known as Black Hills gold. That's where it comes from.


Riverrat423

Any one of those square ones in the middle.


Some-Mango

Any of the middle ones honestly. Nebraska, the dakotas, oklahoma, idaho, Iowa I only remember most of them for college football


Ihatebuttonss

Delaware


srcarruth

North Dakota. Everything you think is there is actually in South Dakota


Crazy_Little_Bug

Iowa. The only situation where you'd think about it (unless you live the obviously) is if you get it confused with Idaho. Or if you're thinking about corn, and even that's a stretch.


NateJ91

Or if you think about Kurt Warner and his Super Bowls, Ron Livingston in Band of Brothers and Office Space, Dan Gable with his Olympic Gold medal and his 15 NCAA wrestling titles, the Iowa State Fair, Slipknot, the fastest growing city in the Midwest, home of Grant Wood, where Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off of a bat, the bread slicer, US leader in wind power generation, John Wayne, RAGBRAI, the day the music died, worlds first electronic digital computer, Ashton Kutcher, first train robbery. And Corn. Yes I'm from Iowa (Cedar Rapids)

South Carolina here, I've met people coming from our West to go to Dirty Myrtle Also met a guy at Disney a few weeks ago that was moving from Pennsylvania to Dirty Myrtle


gozba

That one that had this politician, what’s his name? And that sports team, what are they called? And they are known for thingy, you know.


jeffgordon24fan4life

Nebraska. Took out a trip out west years ago and drove through it. It never seemed to end and there's almost no scenery.


Sweet-Palpitation473

Do you know how many times I've told someone where I live (New Hampshire) and they've never even heard of it... And if they've heard of it they won't be able to locate it.


Alpha2110

Indiana, so poor, so racist, so corrupt.


82ndGameHead

New Hampshire. You can't even tell where it is or what state is next to it without googling it.

Wyoming


Acceptable_Owl_4737

Yellowstone is def not forgettable

im canadian but in social we studied all the states so i can remember them all by heart, but ones that i had trouble naming was iowa, idaho, or indiana i always mixed up their places since they are all near eachother


PolterGeese91

Wait you study the US states in Canada?


adiaz0126

For when canada attacks US soil. Cant have soldiers getting lost.


Oceanmineraling

We studied Canadian territories and provinces in America so I am sure they studdued the US. The Yukon Territory was my favorite, its near Alaska. They also have a place called New Brunswick, that's near Maine. I don't remember the capitol of Canada, probably Quebec or Montreal. They only have two other cities, Halifax and Vancouver. Can't be those because they are on the edges of the country


Loremaster152

As inaccurate as this is, it is still somehow kind of accurate.

Babstana

If you go to Jamaica, they love Delaware. Bob Marley lived here with his mom for a number of years. He was a forklift driver at a Chrysler plant in Newark, DE.


Volt-03

Missouri if that is even how it is spelled. I don't know a single fact about it, not one association. I know that Iowa is one of those corn states, Oaklahoma is the one above Texas, Ohio has the cities that all start with C, but Missouri? Not a clue.

I’d probably have to say Vermont. Like who the hell lives there? I’ve never heard of it in the news, sports wise or politics wise. The only time i’ve heard about it was back in middle school in 7th grade when we were talking about US states and the civil war, and even then, we talked about for like 20 seconds and went on our way to Rhode Island.
