Did you know Rhode Island has one of the strangest official state drinks? Surprisingly, most official state drinks in the U.S. are, quite simply, just plain old milk. But Rhode Island took it a step further.

In 1993, the Rhode Island Legislature had to decide between the two most popular Rhode Island drinks, Del’s Lemonade and Coffee Milk, and Coffee Milk slid into the win, due to its insane popularity throughout the state.

Now, for those outside of the state who aren’t sure what that is, let me fill you in on the origin of the strange drink because no, it is not “just coffee with milk in it.”
