14. Yondu – Tennessee
Tennessee became the 16th state to join the Union on June 1, 1796. Since then, Tennessee has created some of the tastiest things in the world.
First off, there’s the moon pie. According to moonpie.com, the treat was created when a coal miner named Earl Mitchell asked a traveling salesman for a snack “as big as the moon.” When he returned, The Chattanooga Bakery gave him the snack they called a moon pie. Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey was created in Lynchburg, Tennessee in 1864.
Yondu may be from space, but he has a very southern accent and he loves to drink. Since he’s a drinker, he’d love Jack Daniels. There aren’t many places in the world that can boast that they have one of the most popular brands of whiskey in the world and is the birthplace of Mountain Dew.
Yondu also looks like the type of person who’d love country music and what other place birthplace of country music (Bristol, Tennessee)? Yondu would visit Tennessee and never want to leave. His group of Ravagers may decide to stay as well. However, I don’t think Ravagers hopped up on Mountain Dew is a good idea.
