This Is the American Food Section of an Irish Grocery StoreAt my local grocery store, there are sections marked for Mexican and Asian foods, the first of which has foods identified as of Mexican and Central American origins and the latter of which focuses on Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisine. The rest of the store is simply, generically, American.But what does an American section of a non-American grocery store have to offer? What do people in Ireland, where this store is located, see as American cuisine? Redditor /u/yozzeralloy offers this photo as a guide.Quite fittingly, there's peanut butter--an iconic American staple. There's also candy, boxed breakfast cereals, and soda. There's a lot of sugar here.

United Fonts of America: US Map of Fonts Named for American Cities and StatesAndy Murdock of The Statesider created this nifty map of fonts named after cities and states of the United States of America.So how many fonts are there that fit the bill? Too many, it turned out. Murdock had to stop at 222 because the more he looked, the more he found and he just had to stop before it got to be too much.From The Statesider:Many of these fonts have stories that clearly tie them to a specific time and place. Georgia, one of the more common fonts used today, got its name from a tabloid headline that read “Alien Heads Found in Georgia.” Fayette is based on the handwriting of an accountant who kept detailed records of the now ghost town of the same name on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Tahoma is one of the pre-European names for Mt. Rainier, as is Tacoma, which is also a font. Others are less clear. Is Huntington named for the city in West Virginia, or the library in Southern California? Is Hiawatha named for the town in Iowa, or does it belong in Minnesota by the shores of Gitche Gumee?View the original map (and a list of the fonts used) over at The Statesider.#map #font #USA #typeface
