Are Maine’s Famous Red Snapper Hot Dogs Based on a British Sausage?
In my lifetime, I've probably eaten my weight in red snappers. It's funny, when I was young, I thought all the other hot dogs were the weird ones. I thought brown hot dogs were so strange. To the point where I didn't even want to eat them. But you know, age and maturity bring wisdom when it comes to food colors, haha.

There are more than enough fast food chains that exist throughout the United States, but for some odd reason, one in particular has zero locations in Maine and New Hampshire.

You’re Likely to Live Longer if You Live in this Maine City
I always thought people lived longer in the country. Honestly, I think I may have thought that as a younger adult. After years of city living, I assumed people out in the woods would just have better quality of life. But when you get a bit older (ugh) you start to think about things like the distance to the hospital, and what roads are like in winter.
