Hey, we got some of those right! :) Sjon suggested chili for the snack, but that didn't sound like a snack food to me. I should have moved it to dish. At least my guess was half right with chips. And surely cow is close enough to Texas Longhorn. ;) Heh, heh. That was fun. Arizona must not have much state spirit since they don't even have answers for half of these questions. Naturally the state snack of Utah is Jell-O!
Sjon and Melanie did a great job of answering! I've lived in Texas for 35 years and didn't know all of them.
