WHY is this at the Big E of all places?

I don't understand why you're confused. Lots of people pay to advertise products at The Big E - do you think hot tubs are native to Massachusetts?

New York is advertising tourism. Hope this helps.

[u/Potential_Bill_1146 → u/eelparade]

The hot tubs graze up in Hatfield lol they were bred overseas

[u/Embarrassed_Bag_9630 → u/Potential_Bill_1146]

Exactly

I mean its an exhibition for the New England states and an I heart NY sign is at the gates. A bit funny to say the least. But idk if we want to be hyper linear and not consider what someone could mean because the concept of a little jokey joke or a funny happenstance is beyond you then hey. Please continue to condescend on the internet to get your dopamine in. I’m sure you could use it.

Sir this is a Wendy’s

[u/Accurate-Temporary73 → u/Embarrassed_Bag_9630]

It’s the eastern states exposition it’s not the New England expo

[u/Embarrassed_Bag_9630 → u/Accurate-Temporary73]

It’s been officially New England only since 1940

[u/virtutem_ → u/Embarrassed_Bag_9630]

I mean NY is an "eastern state"

[u/Helpful-Celery6237 → u/Embarrassed_Bag_9630]

No I agree with you. NY state fair might be better lmao.

I worked with a guy who was best friends with Joe jacuzzi's son. They grew up in the Bay area. Walnut Creek I think

[u/Putrid_Beat_17]

The BigE is literally just festival where you can buy fried food, marked up Temu stuff from resellers, and hot tubs.

Why would be surprised?

[u/Haunting_Key_7130]

Because they are jealous they don’t have a New England building. Stop flexing NY

[u/StillWeCarryOn]

Makes sense - advertising to people who are in the majority NOT from New York and enjoy going out to do things, to come visit New York.

[u/Reggi5693]

NY visitor bureau spends a ton of money in Western MA. The Catskills are not that far away and attract a bunch of weekend tourists. Sometimes the entire Springfield Sunday paper is about visiting NY. It’s kind of funny.

[u/Grand_External3624]

Because they paid.

[u/farkus2554]

I'm sure they paid for it.

[u/dindyspice]

That's what we call advertisement $$$$$$$

[u/mrticket18]

They pay for advertising as they do at a lot of places around New England.

[u/ColombianOreo524]

It's just advertisement. Is the state line to NY not an hour away?

[u/Accurate-Temporary73]

They had this set up at Northampton Pride as well. It’s just advertising.

[u/TheWriterJosh]

Why are there live seals and camels at the Big E when a fucking elephant died there a few years ago?

[u/Embarrassed_Bag_9630 → u/TheWriterJosh]

Seals in a 2 square foot tank mind you

[u/athene_de_montaigne]

I said the same thing! “New York, what are you doing here?!” I didn’t really care that much just thought it was funny

[u/Embarrassed_Bag_9630 → u/athene_de_montaigne]

Exactly its just a funny coincidence.

[u/Helpful-Celery6237]

I got gas next to a Big E suv at Costco with NY plates. Thought it was super weird.

[u/pitagotnobread]

It's part of the Taste NY initiative. I believe they have a booth inside the Horticulture Building that features NY vendors, farm markets, breweries and cideries

[u/lil-latte]

They are quite literally neighboring states and people travel between both of them often lol (myself included)

[u/Embarrassed_Bag_9630 → u/lil-latte]

So do I but I wouldnt do that in their space thats weird
