Geological Time
Look at this, a fascinating map and discussion explaining how the ocean levels during the Cretaceous period influenced the Presidential Election. Incredibly cool stuff.
While researching that I came across this, a map claiming to use the availability of Sweet Tea as a menu option at McDonalds locations in Virginia as a new way to map the divide between North and South. Unfortunately it turns out to be a fiction created as part of a graphic design class assignment on information graphics, but still, a very cool idea, and one that could probably have been turned into reality prior to McD's current addition of "Southern Style" items to their nationwide menu.

Um, I send the info that our MacDonalds in Nashua, NH sell sweet tea. Not that I would ever go in there or drink their version, but they advertise it on the signs.
We're kind of FAR north of any normal north/south dividing line . . . maybe corporate is making a move to conquer Yankee territory?
Yeah, they added a "Southern Style" menu to their national offerings lately, including sweet tea and a rip off of a Chik-Fil-A sandwhich. So now everybody gets sweet tea. Of course it is really a HFCS monstrosity, but it blew the concept of this map.
The tea ain't bad. We jumped all over it on our trip to Grand Canyon by way of San Bernardino for the wedding.
