The Slim Jim was invented in North Carolina.
And the most amazing of all, Alfred E. Neuman, that lovable face for M.A.D Magazine, made his debut right here in North Carolina on the cover of the magazine, The State in 1935. Contrary to popular belief, he actually is a real person... and yes, he looks exactly like the cartoon version of him. All information about his identity has been lost over time and nobody who was at the original photo shoot seems to remember the name of the man with the big gap-tooth smile.
Only North Carolina can produce people as pretty as Kellie Pickler and as strange looking as Alfred E. Neuman.
