The people of Massachusetts buy more lottery and scratch-off tickets than any other state by a huge margin.
Massachusetts has a ruling regarding …
Massachusetts has a ruling regarding what qualifies as a sandwich. Qdoba and Panera were part of a 2006 contract dispute in which it was claimed that a burrito was a sandwich. The court ruled that only two pieces of bread, along with some sort of filling, could hold the mantle of sandwich.

If You Work in the Cranberry Bogs, You Should Be Okay With the Wolf Spider Guards
Have you ever stopped to contemplate how cranberries are grown before they arrive on your dinner plate? If not, you are in for a treat.
It turns out that cranberries grow in bogs, which in and of itself sounds like the beginning of an odd but scary film.
Not only do cranberries grow in bogs, but the bogs themselves are closely guarded by one fearsome creature: the wolf spider.
Apparently this is common knowledge for people who are from Massachusetts, but for the rest of us… here’s the story.
It all started when someone innocently asked why cranberries are always shown growing in a big pit.

For some of us, just the two words “The Bog” automatically conjures up images of, well, bog bodies. Yikes!
But apparently, The Bog is totally a thing. A Massachusetts thing.

Apparently, cranberries grow in the bog when it’s unflooded. When they’re ripe, the bog is flooded and the berries are collected in these hoops.

The bogs also have a useful little creature living within: the wolf spider.

This is all well and good until it’s time to flood the bog and retrieve the berries.
It turns out there’s a reason cranberry spiders ask prospective employees if they’re comfortable with spiders, and it’s a pretty wild one.

If you’re totally petrified at this point, don’t worry: you aren’t alone.
Can you believe wolf spiders are so hardcore? You really do learn something new every day.
Don’t forget to share this post with your friends, and let us know what you would do if a wolf spider climbed up your eyebrows in the comments!

Christmas used to be illegal….
Christmas used to be illegal in Massachusetts. After 1681, Christmas was no longer a crime, but was completely taboo. Anyone caught making merry or singing carols was prosecuted for disturbing the peace. It remained taboo until 1870, when the federal government made it a national holiday. 00
A Miss Massachusetts Turned in Her Crown After the Pageant Mocked the #metoo Movement
The #metoo movement is so widespread that it’s now affecting beauty pageants. A host at the Miss Massachusetts pageant found that out the hard way when the emcee told a joke that made light of the #metoo phenomenon.

Maude Gorman, who already held the crown of Miss Plymouth County, decided to turn in her crown. Gorman is a sexual assault survivor, having been raped by 3 men when she was only 13 years old. She took to Instagram to explain why she handed her crown in.

Gorman said, “I really felt betrayed. To mock a movement that has empowered survivors to stand up is inappropriate, and especially a women’s empowerment organization, should be unacceptable.”
Good work, Ms. Gorman.
