Pennsylvania: Where Liberty Meets Milkshakes (and Maybe Misery During Eagles Games)
Ah, Pennsylvania. Land of cheesesteaks, rolling hills, and questionable sports team mascots (seriously, Gritty?). But what truly encapsulates the spirit of this great state? Is it the historical significance, the stunning natural beauty, or the sheer variety of ways you can clog your arteries with delicious food? Well, my friend, the answer lies in something a little more concise: Pennsylvania's official slogan.

| What is Pennsylvania's Slogan |
From Independence to... Well, Happiness?
Pennsylvania used to have a slogan that reflected its revolutionary roots: "The State of Independence." Bold, historic, a touch bureaucratic. Then, in 2016, things got interesting. The state decided it was time for a change, something that captured the essence of what it means to be Pennsylvanian. After all, independence is great, but wouldn't you also like to, you know, enjoy it?
Thus, Pennsylvania unveiled its current slogan to the world: "Pennsylvania. Pursue Your Happiness."
It's catchy, it's optimistic, and it's open to interpretation. Pursue happiness by hiking the Appalachian Trail? Absolutely! Pursue happiness by cheering on the Eagles (misery optional)? Hey, it's your call! Pursue happiness by attending a yodeling competition in a tiny mountain town? Pennsylvania doesn't judge (although your ears might).
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
But Wait, There's More!
Let's be honest, here at the Ministry of Fun Facts (totally a real government department, definitely not made up), we like to think outside the box. So, here are some unofficial slogans we came up with for Pennsylvania:
- Pennsylvania: We Don't Pump Our Own Gas, But We Do Make a Mean Shoo-Fly Pie. (It's a thing, look it up.)
- Pennsylvania: Birthplace of Liberty and the Pretzel. (Coincidence? We think not.)
- Pennsylvania: Come for the History, Stay for the Amish Buggy Traffic Jams. (We may have exaggerated this one slightly.)
