From lobster rolls to Block Island to Bakery Pizza, here are 15 signs you are a true Rhode Islander, and not just a summer time fake.
1. You cringe when you witness someone sip Del’s lemonade with a straw.
2. You order coffee milk when you go out for breakfast.
3. Calamari is your go-to appetizer, no matter what month.
It is the official state appetizer.

5. You keep a beach chair in your car.
Because you never know when you might need it.

What does everyone else in the country eat at birthday parties?

Oh those wooden spoons.

8. You take spontaneous day trips to Block Island.
Because why not?
9. You run into someone you know wherever you go.
“Oh hello second grade teacher,” you say awkwardly while shopping for tampons.
10. Iced Coffee everyday is a must.
Even when there’s a foot of snow on the ground.
