What Animals Are Famous For Holding Hands While Sleeping?

Did You Know!

A rarely known fact about New Mexico is that it is the only U.S. state whose official state question is written into law.

The official state question is:

"Red or Green?"

This refers to the choice between red chile sauce and green chile sauce, a beloved part of New Mexico's food culture. The question became the official state question in 1996, recognizing how important chile peppers are to the state's identity.

Even more interesting: if you want both red and green chile on your meal, locals often answer "Christmas!"—a uniquely New Mexican expression that visitors are often surprised to learn. New Mexico grows some of the most famous chile peppers in the world, particularly around Hatch, which is often called the "Chile Capital of the World."
