Explanatory Notes:
Vernors – Considered the oldest soft drink, it was invented in Michigan
Two of the top four pizza chains in the United States were founded in Michigan
"If a pleasant peninsula is what you seek" – I took this from the Michigan state motto; "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you."
"Fucking magnets, how do they work?!" – This is a lyric from the song "Miracle" by Insane Clown Posse; the infamous juggalo band from Detroit, Michigan.
Wolverine State – Michigan is nicknamed the Wolverine state, despite the fact that wolverines are very rare there. No one is entirely sure where this nickname comes from.
"The thunder of the inland sea" – Lyric from the song "Michigan, My Michigan"
Apple blossom – State flower of Michigan
Detroit is, of course, known for its, uh…higher crime rate. It's also considered the second most dangerous city in the United States (losing the first place title to Camden, New Jersey) and is the fourth worst city in terms of bedbug infestations.
Shiga Prefecture, Japan – Considered a sister state to Michigan
