Great Landmarks of New Jersey permalink

the crap factory1. Skeezer Bug Spray© Factory

One of the most popular tourist attractions in the Garden State is the birthplace of what essentially created the Garden State. Due to the state’s natural pollution, insects ravaged the countryside- until William Skeezer began mass-marketing his genius invention. Finally, people could go outside for more than 5 seconds without contracting disease.

dissssgusting2. America’s first billboard

The blight of billboards began in New Jersey. Where else? Now, like many of its counterparts, the original billboard resides in an abandoned lot, and is only seen by people who probably can’t read. Fun fact: the original ad was in 1884 for the candy, Cocaine Drops.

pet sematery3. World’s largest pet cemetery

Containing over 10,000,000 pets from over 2,700 different species, the New Jersey Pet Cemetery is nearly as impressive as Arlington. They even have an “Eternal Flame”, which is the local nickname for the on-site crematorium.

what a spectacle!4. Golf Cart Museum

What? It’s not like there’s anything better to do.

 

5. Pure Waste Geyser

it tastes like it smellsJersey’s inlets and waterways are so choked with human and industrial waste, the pressure forces the waste to spew out of the ground every hour, 30 miles south of Trenton. Biological hazards prevent anyone from getting within 10,000 feet of it, so bring your wide-angle lens.
