For example, I love the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains (I can see them from my house), but I'd never claim that they are in the same class as the towering Rocky Mountains.I've never heard of peanuts in Coke. Virginia ham is awfully salty.

I think we might have done it when we were kids but I didn't remember it being much of a thing. My wife grew up in the western part of the state so I'll ask her. I grew up Richmond - Tidewater (back in Richmond now).
