10 fun facts New Jerseyans share at cocktail parties

They say you learn something new every day. But it’s been awhile for us. And since we know New Jerseyans are the savviest, we decided to put it to our listeners to clue us in. We asked: what’s the one fun, interesting or bizarre fact that you like to share with people? The one that comes in handy at cocktail parties? Because we’re talk show hosts, not journalists, we’ll leave it to you to fact check these. But We were really surprised to hear some of these... for instance, did you know that Wendy’s burgers are square because when he was starting out, founder Dave Thomas’ parents’ business advice was “Don’t cut any corners”?

Neither did we!
