New York State Inventions You Didn’t Know About [LIST]

I've lived in New York State my entire life and I went through this list, having used most if not all of these products with no clue they were invented not too far from here. How many of these did you know?

New York Upstate put together a list of 29 things you probably didn't know were invented in New York State. Some of the inventions are obvious, like the potato chip being invented in Saratoga or buffalo wings from Buffalo but I took some of the most surprising for you. You can read the whole list on their website.
