People born in Georgia, and even parts of Florida, may do or say things that make out-of-towners scratch their heads.

Whether it’s juicy peaches, pollen, or saying “y’all” — the things Georgians do may seem like they are from a different planet.

We asked our News4JAX viewers: What is something that someone from Georgia might have to explain to an out-of-towner?

We went first, saying putting peanuts in a Coke! We spoke about this a few years ago and people were SHOOK that someone would combine a snack and a beverage.

Here are some responses from people who live, and/or grew up in, Georgia:

• “Claxton fruit cake!” Christina Sypolt said.
• “Chicken and dressing for Thanksgiving,” Cherry Trevelyan, who lives near Tifton, Georgia said.
• “That pecan logs are dessert,” Lo Gordon said.
• “If y’all ever go through Jesup, hold your nose!” Ginger Duncan said. The “smell of money” stinks around there when the wind blows.”
• “Sweet tea is a food group,” Robin said.
• “Boiled peanuts and 1/2 and 1/2 tea,” Janice Bessinger said.
• “How to pronounce Cairo (a city in Grady County, Georgia),” Debbie Tucker said.
• “Gnats,” Courtney Jordan said.
• “Watermelon crawl,” Becky Kersey said.
• “Outsider: Where are you from? Me: Georgia. Outsider: Oh, Atlanta? Me: No, Brunswick. Outsider: Where? Me: Yeah — Atlanta. I’m from Atlanta.” – Raechell Williams
• “The air smells better in Georgia!” Alice Taylor said. “That’s what my mama told me and I taught my children the same thing!”
• “Why “dog” is spelled Dawg!” Cindy Ragland said.
• “It’s called Georgia-Florida, not Florida-Georgia,” Austin Keller said. “One is the band, the other is the football game. GO DAWGS.”
• “Fixing a sandwich with just a tomato,” one commenter said.
• “Peaches and Visalia onions,” Joy Harvey said.
• “Eating watermelon with salt on it,” Marty Flanagan said.
