New Mexico was the original Sunshine State, unofficially using the slogan prior to statehood in 1912 and eventually adding it to their state license plates in 1932. However, they never made anything official, and Florida managed to adopt an official resolution and steal the slogan in 1970.

Ok, I know. That was a TERRIBLE joke, and I sincerely ope the great state of Hawaii will still allow me to vacation there (some day).
That joke actually comes from the fact that Hawaii used to give people these flower leis when they arrived in the state. That tradition has since faded away, but you can still buy them!
But what would other states give their visitors?
Some wise, wise people on reddit answered and the results are hilarious…
Free tater for every out-of-stater!
A Cheerwine and a Cajun filet biscuit. Enjoy.
You land and we hand you a can of Old Bay before you even get off the plane.
Hatch Green Chili
Would give you pecans and quartz crystals
Welcome to Pennsylvania here’s your flat tire!
A bag of boiled peanuts.
Keys to a Subaru
Coffee milk, Del’s lemonade and some quahogs
We’d give you a pepperoni roll and some meth.
Mardi gras beads and a drink.
A speeding ticket
We’d give you the Book of Mormon
Asphalt! Enjoy our roads (what’s left of them)!
Crabs, but they don’t tell you what kind

Starbucks and a Windows update.
We’d give you the finger.
Which pretty much already happens when you drive out of the airport.
We’re gonna hand you a corn cob.
We’d hand you a gun and some free high school credits.

A Packers’ jersey & some cheese curds.

Then immediately fuck you with intense wage vs. rent inequality.
Obligatory bible and meth pipe
Whiskey. Duh.
A 16 ounce ribeye.
A tax bill
An orange barrel, some concrete crumbles, and a tax bill for both.
6 baby daddies and a can of snuff

One unit of meth.
And no, I don’t know how meth is measured or whatever.
Also, KC-style BBQ and toasted ravioli
A steak and a card that says, “yes, we do exist.”
We will give you a complimentary piece of Garfield merchandise, because that’s pretty much all we have.
We’d give you a free TSA strip search for pot and a bud light.
If you flew first class, you also get a fake chuckle when you (and you know you will) make a wizard of Oz joke.
Yeah, we didn’t get to all the states because some people just didn’t answer.
Sorry North and South Dakota! And Nevada… for some reason?
Speak up next time!
