Pictured is the router which sent the 1st internet connection from NYC to Tokyo. These were sold out of a basement office of a home in Rahway NJ. It's signed by everyone who worked for Cisco Systems in 1989. It was given to my dad when he retired in 1999 for his work in establishing the internet.Submitted by TriggerTough t3_10kdpgl in newjersey

it always comes back to New Jersey.
I've been to a lot of places and seen a lot things in this world so far, and there's always someone or something that links it back to New Jersey.

Fr. YooHoo, the electric guitar, the light bulb, the motion picture camera and the whole modern movie industry as we know it today, Campbell's soup. Just a tiny bit of all the things that were created here in New Jersey.

You forgot NJ Pork Roll

You misspelled “Taylor Ham”

Taylor Ham, this is the way !

“Taylor” is the BRAND. “Pork roll” is the actual product.
Its pork roll.
You don’t say your having a bowl of General Mills for breakfast, you say your having Frosted Flakes, because thats the product and GM is the brand.
Also note, you don’t see the words “Taylor Ham” next to eachother, anywhere on the Taylor brand packaging.
Also Also note, the store brands will call it, for example, “Shoprite Pork Roll” because Taylor is a competing brand, not the actual product, which is pork roll.
Are we clear? This really can’t be that difficult to grasp.

I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.
Long live Taylor Ham

With absolutely no counter argument. Enjoy being wrong, and have a great day.

It was originally Taylor's Ham until government regulators made him change it. Not a fan of cowering to the government so it'll always be Taylor Ham for me. ✊🏼

how are you gonna forget the new jersey devils? :(
Funkit t1_j5tf7e4 wrote
They’ve always actually been labeled NJ though. I’m talking about all the things NY stole from us. NJ nets too they also took.

Actually they were originally the Kansas City Scouts before they were the NJ Devils.
