In case you didn’t know, Georgia is awesome and we have the proof to back it up! We have some of the best collegiate football teams in the country, we make Coca-Cola, and we have warm weather most of the time! Here are 15 undeniable reasons everyone should love Georgia!
We make the greatest soda in the country and some of the best fried chicken too! Millions of people around the world drink Coke and Chick-Fil-A is a national favorite as well. Those alone warrants us bragging rights! On top of that we are also home to Home Depot and UPS, two other national household brands.
We love our Georgia Tech and UGA football teams--and so does the rest of the country! While many a Georgia person is either a UGA or a Georgia Tech fan, we will gladly claim the bragging rights of being the home base for both teams.
