According to a great many folks the People's Republic of New Jersey does not have a wonderful reputation for much other than as a good place to be from. Besides yours truly, (and I've beat flippers out of there) it is hard to come up with many really good things either from or associated with New Jersey.
However, in all fairness, New Jersey does grow really good tomatoes and corn in their season (Must be from all the political manure laying around.) Since everyone knows what corn and tomatoes are there is no need to expound upon them further. The other great thing related to NJ is the Iowa class battleship the New Jersey, BB-62. It is strange that a world-class gunnery platform like the New Jersey is named after such a liberal anti-gun / anti-Second Amendment state. Oh well....

The end of
an era.
The USS New Jersey during its 3-day transit
of the Panama Canal going through the Miaflores
locks. This is its final voyage before being decommissioned
and becoming a museum in New Jersey.
Do you think they'll require trigger locks on those 16 inchers?
