what food is each state known for
New York is well on its way to making yogurt the official state snack. It turns out that several other states have already designated official snack foods: Jell-O was declared the official snack of Utah back in 2001, and Illinois â a top producer of corn â made popcorn its official snack in 2003.
Jell-O is the official state snack of Utah â seriously. In 2001, lawmakers got together and wrote the resolution recognizing the jiggly stuff as the stateâs official snack, saying, âJell-O is representative of good family fun, which Utah is known for throughout the world.â.
