4. No eating fried chicken with anything but your fingers

Where: Georgia

In Gainesville, Georgia, finger-lickin’ chicken is not just a catchy slogan. It’s literally the law. Since 1961, it has been illegal to use utensils to eat fried chicken in the self-proclaimed “poultry capital of the world,” thanks to a publicity stunt that has remained part of the city code to this day. And don’t think they’re too chicken to actually reinforce this cockamamie law nowadays. A tourist was arrested for forking his fried chicken in 2009.

Also illegal in Georgia: carrying an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sundays, using profanity in front of a corpse at a funeral home, and keeping donkeys in bathtubs.
