Pop quiz: Have you been around much?

Here's an amusing little quiz to find out how much you've been around. Simply match the grocery store chain with the state you're likely to find a store.

_____ Smith's
_____ Ingles
_____ Super WalMart
_____ White's
_____ Stater Bros.
_____ Piggly Wiggly


And the states:

A: South Carolina
B: Tennessee
C: California
D: Arizona
E: Just world conquest, baby!
F: North Carolina


There's no scoring, or at least if there is no one really cares. But if you can get them all right, you've been around some. And if you can say you've shopped in each one and/or know the name of the store's "house brand," I feel your pain.

(Oh, yeah. Up North and Out West, that thing you push in the store is a grocery cart. Down South, it's a buggy.)

Answers will come in a future posting.
