Most forgettable US State.

Which State of America do you think is most forgettable, uneventful or one that you just know feck all about?

I was doing a quiz on the Sporcle website yesterday and named all but one State. It was Pennsylvania. I wouldn't class it as an uninteresting one or anything, I just couldn't remember it.


As for ones I'd know little or nothing about? Nebraska would rank up there definitely.
Which of the 50* do you find unremarkable?


And no, there's not 52 before someone says it.

Penny comes from Nebrasksa, hence it's memorable.

I'd go for any state that hasn't had a song written about it.

Probably North Dakota

Bill Bryson on Nebraska:

“When I was growing up, I used to wonder how Nebraska came to be lived in. I mean to say, the original settlers, creaking across America in their covered wagons, had to have passed through Iowa, which is green and fertile and has, as I say, a hill, but stopped short of Colorado, which is green and fertile and has a mountain range, and settled instead for a place that is flat and brown and full of stubble and prairie dogs. Doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it? Do you know what the original settlers made their houses of? Dried mud. And do you know what happened to all those mud houses when the rainy season came every year? That’s correct, they slid straight into the Platte River.

Shows how unmemorable it is then.

Maine's is actually "Meh,whatever"

I suppose the thread is flawed in that if you can't remember a state, you won my be able to name it. And I'm the OP!

Anyway, Vermont
