Massachusetts Recognized for 1 Great Beverage

Every state has its special foods and beverage picks, and that's truly part of what makes every state so special. The United States is really a unique country, because we do have so many different cultures across the country, and each state has its own story and charm. When it comes to beverages that are popular in every state, it really varies a lot. Now, one study has pinpointed the most iconic beverage in every U.S. state, including this one.

The crew at Reader's Digest has a feature out describing the most iconic beverage in each state. "With so many worthy ways to quench your thirst, we figured it was time to share the best U.S. state beverages," they note in the piece, adding that this is a collaboration with Reader's Digest and Taste of Home. This is also their sixth installment of "America the Tasty," their attempt to find America's favorite foods and drinks.

For Massachusetts, it's a simple but delicious drink in cranberry juice. "Cranberries have been commercially cultivated on Cape Cod since the mid-1800s," Reader's Digest notes. "Today, juice giant Ocean Spray is based in the Bay State and squeezes about 4,400 berries into each bottle."

When it comes to those who are proud of their states, according to Movoto, the state with the most state pride is Ohio, which is interesting. Sure, Ohio is a nice state, but for some reason, it didn't stick out as a given for the most prideful state. "A truly stunning 55% of Ohioans have liked the Buckeye state on Facebook, and are happy to brag about where they call home," Moveto notes. "With awesome places like Columbus to call home, it’s no wonder people in the state are so eager to show it."
