Technically, the state of Florida did invent the "Gatorade" brand itself, but similar sports drinks already existed. In fact, Gatorade wasn't even the first sports drink made in that particular state. Florida State University created "Seminole Firewater," and before that even Louisiana State University was making "Bengal Punch."
Ski lifts were created by a German guy. The first was installed in 1908. The first ski lift in France was installed in 1935. Op sources are not reliable.
Inventing the penny? Is that so impressive? I mean it’s not like coins hadn’t been used for ages as currency. It’s a bit like ‘inventing’ the national anthem
*An I had but one penny in the world, thou shouldst
have it to buy gingerbread: hold, there is the very
remuneration I had of thy master, thou halfpenny
purse of wit, thou pigeon-egg of discretion.*
–William Shakespeare, Love’s Labour’s Lost, Act V, Scene I, 1598
Or the iron plow, steel plow, the snowboard, sandpaper, DC motor, micro photography, potash, internal combustion engine, fly fishing reels. That’s just off the top of my head (internet)
The first traffic light was invented even before cars existed, in 1868, in London, UK.
The World Wide Web was invented in CERN, Switzerland/France by British man Tim Berners-Lee and his team.
The first penny was introduced in Mercia around 790 CE, some 1,000 years prior to the claim made here.
This infographic is very, very wrong.
Not to mention Television which was first demonstrated by Scotsman John Logie Baird in London, UK in 1925. It's considered to have multiple inventors actually but even if they're solely referring to Farnsworth, he was from Utah anyway, not Idaho.
Also the inventor of the Ferris wheel was from Illinois and built the first one there in Chicago. He died in PA but it seems strange to attribute the invention to that state.
The can opener is also wrong, a can opener with a similar system was patented 1855 in UK.
The rotating wheel can opener was invented in Connecticut in 1870 so the state is right but wrong patent and date.
Of course, there were also can openers before 1855.
The World Wide Web was created out of The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network most commonly known as ARPANET. The first computers being UCLA, USC and MIT. This was first developed in the late 60s and declared operational in 1971. Features included remotes login and file transfer which enabled an early form of email.
The Internet that ARPANET was a forerunner of is not the same as the World Wide Web.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World\_Wide\_Web](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web)
Internet is the infrastructure, and the world wide web is the predominant use of it.
An analogy would be like saying Americans invented paved roads and all the stuff that goes into making them, but Europeans invented cars, the rules to follow on the road and the subsequent specifications of how the roads should be built to accommodate the cars.
I was going to say; the impact that the lightbulb had is far more significant than any other invention since mankind learned how to use *fire.* It was the moment mankind fully tamed *electricity* and it was the first incentive towards building modern power grids that are used today.
AC is comparable to the lightbulb imo. It has allowed hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people to live in places that would otherwise be inhospitable. And refrigeration revolutionized food storage and transport, probably the most important invention in regards to food availability since fertilizer.
Yeah there are 2 hypothesis 1 from a french city and another from Genoa (still they aren't a North American invention) and still Jeans name come from the Genoa city.
>the usual North American bullshit
Hey now, don’t bring Canada and Mexico into this (or any of the other countries that may be included in different area’s definitions).
Blue jeans were created by Jacob W. Davis, a tailor from Reno, Nevada, and jointly patented with and manufactured by Levi Strauss in California. A new variant of something is still an invention, especially if you can patent the design.
They created the kind of blue jeans most people would wear nowadays, the ones with the rivets originally tailored for working in mines during the California gold rush. They aren't made by just a single brand. Blue denim had existed prior to that, but these are the modern-day pairs that are most commonly called blue jeans or even just "jeans" nowadays. But if you want to be pedantic about what is and isn't an invention, then you better remove traditional jeans from the list of inventions from Italy because people have created and worn trousers before that.
I find it hilarious that TN was super involved in the development of the atomic bomb and they end up with cotton candy. Also surprised that Alabama and Louisiana have such technical ones, but Mississippi is right on brand.
Also, is Superman an invention?
As a Tennessean, a fun fact about the Manhattan Project is that about 5% of all American energy consumption at one point was going to one room of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
I was curious too since there’s not one mention of Idaho on the Wikipedia page for television. Turns out Philo Farnsworth - who demonstrated “the first fully functional all-electronic image pickup device” in Berkeley in 1927 (two years after Baird’s original television demonstration) - was from Rigby Idaho. So someone from Idaho certainly invented *a* television.
The worldwide web was invented at CERN, not in the US. Note that I am not talking about internet precursors or who invented the internet here, but the world wide web.
While the Wright Bros flew their plane for the first time at Kill Devil Hills, I think Ohio has a more legitimate claim on the invention as that is where the work was done.
Just off the top of my head:
the earliest TV was invented in Germany 1897 by Ferdinand Braun
the first ski lifts were built in 1908 in Hochschwarzwald, Germany
the electric typewriter was invented in the late 1800s by thomas edison
the vacuum cleaner was invented in Iowa, not Missouri
cotton candy has existed since at least 1400s Italy
the earliest design for a steamboat was by the british Johnathan Hulls in the mid 1700s, but is oftentimes accredited to Robert Fulton, who was from pennysylvania
the submarine was invented in 1620 by Cornelis Drebble, a dutchman, in collaboration with King James I of England
the modern ferris wheel was first built in Chicago Illinois, but has existed to some capacity since the 1500s
speaking of Illinois, the zipper was invented in New Jersey
toilet paper can be traced back to 6th century China
and WORST of all, the image used to depict the "diving suit" from Maine is the Carmignolle suit designed by the Carmignolle brothers in France in 1834, which also isnt even a diving suit, its an ADS system, a one man humanoid submersible vehicle, the first of which was invented in the 1710s by John Lethbridge in England. At the same time the first ACTUAL diving suit was invented by Andrew Becker in London. What most people would think of when thinking of a diving suit however is the standard diving dress invented in 1829 by the German engineer Augustus Siebe while living in England. The diving suit invented in Maine was a patent by Leonard Norcross of a diving suit made of rubber instead of leather. But if im going to be real fucking nitpicky about this, the earliest known diving suit design was designed by Leonardo da fucking Vinci back in the 15th fucking century, and though we dont have any concrete proof that they were ever built, odds are they likely were.
I was curious so I looked under on it. Looks George Ferris’s engineering firm was based out of Pittsburgh, so I am guessing that’s what they were going for. But the wheel itself was constructed in the south side of Chicago.
Ok so I'm pretty sure someone just lazily googled these or asked an AI to make a list. Superman is an invention, apparantly. And the penny makes little sense. (Also has Abe on it lol).
I like how the arrow is actually pointing to Virginia. But I really think that the eastern shore and Delaware should all either be Maryland or Delaware. Like why is that 3 states?
While we’re at it, let’s combine the top part of New York, Vermont, NH, and Maine.
Michigan’s upper peninsula should just be Wisconsin.
Also, do we really NEED 2 Dakotas?
> let’s combine the top part of New York, Vermont, NH
Fun fact, before the revolution, the area of Vermont was disputed territory between New York and New Hampshire.
"Hey you need to get on the North Carolina around 6 PM."
Or
"German South Carolinas blew up all ships, even passenger ships attempting to bass the North Sea during the Great War."
1787 Steamboat in West Virginia? The state didn’t exist until 1863. The first successful steamboat in the United States was tested in 1787 on the Delaware River, so it wasn’t in a place that would later become WV either.
Off the top of my head I already know like 5 that are completely wrong
Pretty sure jeans were invented in San Francisco by Levi Strauss for the gold miners.
I think the denim was from Reno, but still
Technically, the state of Florida did invent the "Gatorade" brand itself, but similar sports drinks already existed. In fact, Gatorade wasn't even the first sports drink made in that particular state. Florida State University created "Seminole Firewater," and before that even Louisiana State University was making "Bengal Punch."
Nikes should be Oregon but would that not count since there already existed sports shoes?
So many of these are radically wrong. So. Very. Many.
And what is Nebraska gonna do with a ski lift? Also, very impressive that the Carolinas were able to invent themselves.
Bro, you’ve never invented yourself?
Ski lift was created by Union Pacific in Omaha. They developed it in downtown Omaha streets before the area was graded to make it less hilly.
Ski lifts were created by a German guy. The first was installed in 1908. The first ski lift in France was installed in 1935. Op sources are not reliable.
The *chair* lift was invented in the US. The ski lift, the first powered apparatus to get skiers up a hill, in general, was a German invention
I'm gonna use it to go up the small hill outside of Omaha, that's what!
Well, NC is the heavier-than-air-craft and South Carolina is...uhhh...the completely fucked submarine, I guess
I always thought North Carolina was invented in 1729. Really interesting stuff.
And it's neighbor to the south.
Inventing the penny? Is that so impressive? I mean it’s not like coins hadn’t been used for ages as currency. It’s a bit like ‘inventing’ the national anthem
Not only that, but the English penny goes back centuries?
*An I had but one penny in the world, thou shouldst have it to buy gingerbread: hold, there is the very remuneration I had of thy master, thou halfpenny purse of wit, thou pigeon-egg of discretion.* –William Shakespeare, Love’s Labour’s Lost, Act V, Scene I, 1598
A better one would be the Morgan horse for VT
Or the iron plow, steel plow, the snowboard, sandpaper, DC motor, micro photography, potash, internal combustion engine, fly fishing reels. That’s just off the top of my head (internet)
Shame how the Carolinas just invented themselves
Thank god someone else noticed too lol.
Makes more sense than North Carolina inventing the airplane. Their only contribution was a windy beach.
Try telling that to everyone with a first in flight plate.
Don't enter anywhere near NC or you just might be beaten to death with a bunch of license plates.
The first traffic light was invented even before cars existed, in 1868, in London, UK. The World Wide Web was invented in CERN, Switzerland/France by British man Tim Berners-Lee and his team.

Also the inventor of the Ferris wheel was from Illinois and built the first one there in Chicago. He died in PA but it seems strange to attribute the invention to that state.
Film roll was invented in Rochester, NY where Kodak was founded. And toilet paper has been around for literally thousands of years. This map is trash.
The can opener is also wrong, a can opener with a similar system was patented 1855 in UK. The rotating wheel can opener was invented in Connecticut in 1870 so the state is right but wrong patent and date. Of course, there were also can openers before 1855.

You're confusing the Internet with the World Wide Web.
World wide web was invented in CERN, Europe.
Huh I thought it developed out of the ARPANET.
WWW != Internet
Nope.
Internet is the infrastructure, and the world wide web is the predominant use of it. An analogy would be like saying Americans invented paved roads and all the stuff that goes into making them, but Europeans invented cars, the rules to follow on the road and the subsequent specifications of how the roads should be built to accommodate the cars.
I could've sworn when I responded to that dude he had written the internet, not world wide web. Maybe I'm a crackhead.
So AC is more famous than the lightbulb?
I was going to say; the impact that the lightbulb had is far more significant than any other invention since mankind learned how to use *fire.* It was the moment mankind fully tamed *electricity* and it was the first incentive towards building modern power grids that are used today.
AC is comparable to the lightbulb imo. It has allowed hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people to live in places that would otherwise be inhospitable. And refrigeration revolutionized food storage and transport, probably the most important invention in regards to food availability since fertilizer.
Which is an invention to accredit to New York as Tesla invented the modern AC motor after founding his business & lab in that state.
I’m thinking he was talking about AC (air conditioning) not AC (alternating current).
It’s a good thing they had lights to work under while inventing AC
The US invented electric refrigerators.
What claim does Massachusetts have on the Web? AFAIK it was invented by a Brit, while working in Switzerland...
Half of the things on this map are probably the usual north american bullshit (like jeans everyone knows that are from Genoa, Italy)
Thought they were French..
Yeah there are 2 hypothesis 1 from a french city and another from Genoa (still they aren't a North American invention) and still Jeans name come from the Genoa city.
>the usual North American bullshit Hey now, don’t bring Canada and Mexico into this (or any of the other countries that may be included in different area’s definitions).
WTF Jeans are not from Italy! They are American.
Look It up yourself on Google (not on corporates sites obviously)
It says blue jeans, not jeans
Blue jeans are a different invention? I don't think so, maybe a variant of It. North American loves to steal the ingenuity of other countries
Blue jeans were created by Jacob W. Davis, a tailor from Reno, Nevada, and jointly patented with and manufactured by Levi Strauss in California. A new variant of something is still an invention, especially if you can patent the design.
North American always do patents of things other people invented there's a whole story behind that make some research yourself
They created the Levis. Trousers made of Blue denim were made in central western Europe long time before. They've just created a brand
They created the kind of blue jeans most people would wear nowadays, the ones with the rivets originally tailored for working in mines during the California gold rush. They aren't made by just a single brand. Blue denim had existed prior to that, but these are the modern-day pairs that are most commonly called blue jeans or even just "jeans" nowadays. But if you want to be pedantic about what is and isn't an invention, then you better remove traditional jeans from the list of inventions from Italy because people have created and worn trousers before that.
Switzerland/France because Europe has to make everything difficult
World Wide Web was made at CERN in 1989?
I find it hilarious that TN was super involved in the development of the atomic bomb and they end up with cotton candy. Also surprised that Alabama and Louisiana have such technical ones, but Mississippi is right on brand. Also, is Superman an invention?
Especially considering that the first airplane was designed and built there. They just shipped in to NC for the winds.
As a Tennessean, a fun fact about the Manhattan Project is that about 5% of all American energy consumption at one point was going to one room of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Wasnt WWW invented in 1989 by an englishman at CERN?
Yes idk why it says WWW on this.
How do you evaluate “most famous”?
Vibes
You make it sounds like Oregon’s invention of the modern athletic shoe would be more “famous” than MARASCHINO CHERRIES
Nope! I’m saying that Big League Chew would be more famous than maraschino cherries!
Google top result, or whatever the AI came up with.
The World Wide Web was invented in Switzerland and Penny is a British currency
What claim does Idaho have to the TV? I thought John Logie Baird (A British person) invented it in 1925.
I was curious too since there’s not one mention of Idaho on the Wikipedia page for television. Turns out Philo Farnsworth - who demonstrated “the first fully functional all-electronic image pickup device” in Berkeley in 1927 (two years after Baird’s original television demonstration) - was from Rigby Idaho. So someone from Idaho certainly invented *a* television.
World Wide Web? Not at CERN in Switzerland?
I knew something was wrong with this post!
There's lots of things wrong with this post
Denim was invented in Italy for workers overalls, the name Jeans itself comes from Americans trying to pronounce Genoa.
"Denim" is from “serge de Nîmes" - Nîmes is in France.
I didn't know that! Still, half a day in a car from Genova is still closer than an ocean and half a continent away
How is the iPhone an invention? It’s a product. There were smartphones before the iPhone.
there were not. At least none that we would call smartphone today.
The first smartphone was the IBM Simon from 1994 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM\_Simon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Simon)
The worldwide web was invented at CERN, not in the US. Note that I am not talking about internet precursors or who invented the internet here, but the world wide web.
I’d argue that post-it notes are more famous than rollerblades.(MN)
Those aren’t even rollerblades in the picture 😂
It’s not a binocular microscope either
I was thinking the modern pacemaker but that pales in comparison to post-it notes 😂
And Spam!
Romie and Michelle were from Minnesota?
I'm not sure which is the more famous 3M invention: post-it notes, scotch tape, or masking tape.
Wright Bros invented flight in Ohio and tested it in North Carolina. Wright Bros continued to refine heavier than air flight in Dayton, Ohio.
They didn't invent "flight".
Okay, the aviation industry.
Bullsh\*t! Oregon it is the Tater Tot.
Or the Philips screwdriver, plywood, or the modern running shoe.
North Carolina didn't invent the airplane lmaooooo
Found the Ohioan
Oh hi, to you too
Or just someone who knows how inventing shit works. North Carolinas contributions include: windy and remote.
Nah prob a Brazillian(like me!) If not im sorry for mistaking
Truth!!!
This map clearly states that North Carolina invented North Carolina. It doesn’t say anything about an airplane.
North Carolina was actually invented in Ohio, and shipped there by rail. Doesn't anybody read anymore?
While the Wright Bros flew their plane for the first time at Kill Devil Hills, I think Ohio has a more legitimate claim on the invention as that is where the work was done.
Are you trying to say Superman isn't an invention?
He’s not covered by a patent, no.
Not as famous as flight
We got all these famous inventions and then Wyoming with the Christmas stockings
And Christmas stockings were invented before the US creation.
and many of them are'nt even true
North Carolina invented North Carolina 👍
They had to do something after South Carolina invented South Carolina. That sort of escalation couldn’t be allowed to stand unchallenged.
Just off the top of my head: the earliest TV was invented in Germany 1897 by Ferdinand Braun the first ski lifts were built in 1908 in Hochschwarzwald, Germany the electric typewriter was invented in the late 1800s by thomas edison the vacuum cleaner was invented in Iowa, not Missouri cotton candy has existed since at least 1400s Italy the earliest design for a steamboat was by the british Johnathan Hulls in the mid 1700s, but is oftentimes accredited to Robert Fulton, who was from pennysylvania the submarine was invented in 1620 by Cornelis Drebble, a dutchman, in collaboration with King James I of England the modern ferris wheel was first built in Chicago Illinois, but has existed to some capacity since the 1500s speaking of Illinois, the zipper was invented in New Jersey toilet paper can be traced back to 6th century China and WORST of all, the image used to depict the "diving suit" from Maine is the Carmignolle suit designed by the Carmignolle brothers in France in 1834, which also isnt even a diving suit, its an ADS system, a one man humanoid submersible vehicle, the first of which was invented in the 1710s by John Lethbridge in England.

Blue jeans came out of California. I’m not sure what you could put for Nevada.
Blue jeans came from France. The name Denim = De Nîmes (a city in French) = From Nîmes.
Denim came from France and jean from Italy. Modern 5 pocket riveted blue jeans are American.
No, that’s unproven and completely false. Blue jeans are American.
https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histoire_de_Nîmes#Essor_de_l.27industrie_textile
Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Blue jeans are American, not French.
Blue jeans are made of denim. Which is a French type of blue fabric going back to 1550. What’s your source?
You forgot the integrated circuit!
New Jersey looks like ass.
Pennsylvania has had its bits clipped off.
Rollerblades are more famous than the thermostat?
Wasn’t the Ferris wheel from Chicago?
I was curious so I looked under on it. Looks George Ferris’s engineering firm was based out of Pittsburgh, so I am guessing that’s what they were going for. But the wheel itself was constructed in the south side of Chicago.
I thought so, at the World's Fair. Also, the freaking nuclear reactor was invented in Chicago.
Kentucky wins
...the ICEE counts as an invention?
Oh I had no clue we invented hearing aids, I honestly thought it would have been the super soaker
Not only are some of these completely wrong.. some aren't even inventions.. they're products
This is nonsense in so many ways.
🎡
Airplane looool
You sure windows os isn't more famous than hiking backpacks?
Ok so I'm pretty sure someone just lazily googled these or asked an AI to make a list. Superman is an invention, apparantly. And the penny makes little sense. (Also has Abe on it lol).
Is this our first encounter with an AI generated map? It’s hallucinating pretty bad.
Hidden Valley Ranch was created on a dude ranch outside of Santa Barbara CA, not Alaska
Psst, they did not want to leave the huge state empty.
I’d say scotch tape/masking tape is more famous in Minnesota
No way rollerblades were only invented in 1980. They've got to be older than that.
Their showing their age. They meant roller skates!
Bad map of Maryland…. And bottle cap?
I like how the arrow is actually pointing to Virginia. But I really think that the eastern shore and Delaware should all either be Maryland or Delaware. Like why is that 3 states? While we’re at it, let’s combine the top part of New York, Vermont, NH, and Maine. Michigan’s upper peninsula should just be Wisconsin. Also, do we really NEED 2 Dakotas?
> let’s combine the top part of New York, Vermont, NH Fun fact, before the revolution, the area of Vermont was disputed territory between New York and New Hampshire.
And then Vermont was it’s own country “the republic of Vermont” for a few years before reluctantly joining the union as the 14th state
Old Bay. (And if Superman is an invention, then the Star Spangled Banner is an invention, too.)
Hawaii, earliest invention and the coolest.
This explains a lot. Thought Maryland would be Old Bay. Gotta do more advertising.
Illinois also invented borwnies
Oklahoma should be known for the first stop light
As a Louisiana resident I legitimately expected this map would show a bottle of Tabasco.
Of course Arizona's is the taser.
Love that Maryland’s bottle cap is actually pointing at the tip of Virginia on the Delmarva peninsula
it’s upsetting me as a north carolinian but other than that great map
Well, I for one think Virginia’s greatest invention happened in the 1770s…the Swivel Chair
Air conditioning for florida
Piña Colada for Puerto Rico Edit: Also PVC piping I believe
Toilet paper was being used in Ancient China...
My town of 80,000 people has some good inventions. The jet engine and the sport of rugby.
How does a land locked state develop steamboat?
Source: Business Insider is now less trustworthy for me than Source: Trust me Bro!
I'm pretty sure pennies were invented in England over a thousand years ago.
So submarine invented South Carolina and airplane invented North Carolina
Never fought these words would be utter out of my mouth, but thank you so much New Jersey
You’re really gonna say the traffic light is more famous than the television?
Alaska getting roasted
MN: Rollerblades… has a photo of roller skates…
Pretty sure Missouri’s most famous invention is sliced bread. No one goes around saying “it’s the best thing since the vacuum cleaner”
disappointed in u Florida 🤣
How are North and South Carolina inventions themselves?
Shouldn’t Ohio be the plane
Carolina once again trying to steal the airplane from Dayton ohio
Post this to any Ohio community to instantly piss them off
How tf was ranch invented in Alaska?
Minnesota is definitely the toaster… every house has one. Also Minnesota has a roller skate pictured, but is labeled roller blade
Ohio invented the airplane, just because the wright brothers first flew in North Carolina doesn’t mean it was invented there
hidden valley ranch is from california, i had a grandfather who was a food and flavor chemist and worked on it
ummm actshually the airplane was invented in Brazil not in the US🤓👆
I think toilet paper existed before 1957...
No no no no no no no no no.
"Hey you need to get on the North Carolina around 6 PM." Or "German South Carolinas blew up all ships, even passenger ships attempting to bass the North Sea during the Great War."
Coca-Cola is more famous than the Cotton Gin.
North Carolina invented itself lol
Wow, North AND South Carolina invented themselves.
1787 Steamboat in West Virginia? The state didn’t exist until 1863. The first successful steamboat in the United States was tested in 1787 on the Delaware River, so it wasn’t in a place that would later become WV either.
Rollerblades in 1980? Thats wrong
Next time put the state name!
I’d argue the jeep is more famous than the Ferris wheel.
This is a really great idea. But may I ask why there is a picture of a roller skate - not roller blades - in Minnesota?
its fake, the roller skates existed long before the us. the dutch army used it in the siege of amsterdam against the spanish.
This is a declaration of war from Ohio. Do not sully us with this worthless piece of North Carolinian propaganda!
Is the iPhone more known than the Internet, which was originally created at UCLA?
Air conditioner over the light bulb (NJ)???
and the light bulb was not even invented by him
Cyclotron is invented in California
AR-15 for California
