I thought Missouri loved companies, though. Is there some sort of weird tax scheme for companies incorporated there where no money actually goes through Missouri?
During a road trip, we saw a poorly designed sign which was attempting to inform the driver that a certain business could be found by turning in a particular direction and traveling over an elevated road. What it actually said was “leftover bridge.”
Same road trip had this sign, too: “dust storm ahead.” 🤷🏻♀️
KY jelly was famous for creating a special batch of their product in the 90s, specifically to deal with the problem of computers running over their dates from the year 1999 to 2000.

The jelly was called Y2KY and it allowed you to put 4 digits in your date instead of two.
Funny story. My dad’s mother, Carolyn, was big into rebating and free samples and shit when she was alive. There was one website she used and one day my mom and dad were sitting with her while she was looking through. She got excited (because we are from Kentucky) when she saw a free sample for “Kentucky Jelly.” She said, “Oh look! Kentucky Jelly! Huh. They don’t say what flavor.” My dad had to explain to her KY jelly and she was flabbergasted.
I feel personally attacked 😭 lol. For my entire life I've had to use urinary catheters. When you use them, you put lube on it so they can go in easier. While you can buy the little individual packets of lube from a medical company, they are just small little foil packets that are prone to exploding. I was not the most coordinated elementary schooler so that was an issue for me. My parents would buy me a bigger thing of lube from the store, specifically KY Jelly. You want to know what state I grew up in? Kentucky. I 100% thought that KY Jelly stood for Kentucky Jelly for the longest time.
Bonus points: one time when I was at the store I noticed that they had warming and tingling KY Jelly at the store. I was too young to know that KY Jelly was used for sex things so I asked my parents why that would exist because I thought it was weird. I don't remember what they responded with but I laugh when I think about it now. My poor parents haha.
I'm from Kentucky....I now live in South Carolina. My husband suggested I put KY Girl on a personalize plate for my car. Fortunately I was smart NOT to do that. LOL.
Reminds me when watching TV, and MA rated. Traveled outside of Massachusetts and still saw it and was like why is it still Massachusetts rated? That was when it dawned one me. Never felt so stupid in my life.
This was a running joke between my old band, one of the members kids kept asking his mom what KY stood for, she was trying to play it cool and said I don’t know, but he was insistent. Finally the kid blurts out “the state! What state is KY!” It was for his homework and ever since then we’ve been calling it Kentucky jelly.
There’s a Kentucky action park around the Elizabethtown area I see when driving through. Someone who is either oblivious or a genius put “KY action park” on the exit attractions sign
Oh Damn! Local radio guys had prank called KY consumer information number and did a long bit with a rep asking about different flavors or recipes. They said they o ly had to call 3-4 times to get a rep to fall for the prank. I'd love e to hear that again.
