Here Are Strange Things Texas, Oklahoma & Other States Disproportionately Buy

A new study looked at the products every state imports to figure out what stuff each state is disproportionately buying.

Some of them make perfect sense, like Texas buying barbed wire (LOTS of land means LOTS of barbed wire fences), Hawaii buying SPAM and Nevada importing huge amounts of tequila.

But, seriously, a lot of these things are REALLY strange! Like Oklahoma buying textile hosepiping, Louisiana buying asbestos, Georgia buying swords, Tennessee buying typewriters and Delaware buying chloroform. And, what’s happening in Indiana that they need so much HUMAN BLOOD on hand?!?!

Here’s a map showing the result for every state.
