Say you’ve just started dating someone from Pennsylvania. You’re already aware that they’re a special breed (you lucky kid, you)… But what should you know about your new beau specifically? Well, here are the facts, plain and simple, about dating someone from PA.

Just accept it. I hope you like being outside.
2. But no worries. No matter how far you travel, they'll never take you far from snack food.

I know that this is a big contributing factor in all of my relationships: Does this person provide me with adequate snack food? Well, never fear. Pennsylvania is one of the biggest manufacturers of snack food on this side of the Mississippi, so a bag of pretzels will never be too far away.
3. And chocolate. They've got Valentine's Day covered.

Mostly sports. Hopefully, about you as well. I hope you like sports.
5. They're also resourceful.
