SURVEY: AMERICANS DON’T KNOW WHERE NATIONAL LANDMARKS ARE

A new survey of 2,000 Americans by the Charmin toilet paper company finds many of us don’t know where our beloved national landmarks are located.
– Only 38% know that the Grand Canyon is in Arizona. About 20% think it’s in Colorado. (* But Colorado IS in Arizona, so they’re mostly right.)
– 22 percent believe Niagara Falls is in Iceland, not on the New York/Canadian border.
– 51% correctly identified that the Redwood Forest is located in California.
* Three landmarks? That’s it? Thanks for the in-depth survey, Charmin. Next time, spring for the “two-ply” survey.
* Why would Charmin be interested in the Redwood Forest? Emergency paper supply?
* What’s the big deal? Most Americans don’t even know where the STATES are.
* The biggest embarrassment is how few Americans can tell you where New York Harbor is.
* They’re not asking about the important landmarks. I bet 86% of Americans can tell you that Casa Bonita is in Denver, Colorado. Or that the World’s Largest Ball of Twine is in Cawker City, Kansas.
