Lots of people apparently talk trash about New Jersey.
And this goes way back. Take this song from 1908: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1elwgJrTe4k
Even Benjamin Franklin poked fun at the Garden State, calling it a “keg tapped at both ends.”
And frankly, I am baffled by this. In this video, I am going to attempt to figure out why.
