In Pennsylvania it's called the Hershey squirts.
- This sounds like a joke, but we really do say that!
  
  My dad used to say this. None of my family has ever even been to Pennsylvania to my knowledge though, lol
  
  Same, I don't think this is a Pennsylvania-ism
- I have heard it called that and I physically recoil every time I hear it.
  
  And underwear streaks are referred to as Hershey Highways.
- Hershey PA contained by far the largest morbidly obese humans I've ever seen, like fascinating. All seats must be benches.
