Sick of the same old, same old? New York City, Napa Valley, Miami. (Actually, no, never sick of those spots.) Check out this hilarious list of truly inspired spots to check out on your next trip to Exchange Rate Heaven.
We could also call this article: Dude, Are You For Real?

The world’s largest ball of twine, Minnesota
It's four metres in diameter, if you must know. (And we know you must.)
 
London Bridge, Arizona
Apparently the buyer knew he wasn't getting Tower Bridge. (We remain skeptical.)
 
The Spam Museum, Minnesota
Gee, wonder what their museum restaurant sells?
 
Cadillac Ranch, Texas
You've seen them before: 10 Caddys buried nose first in the desert.
 
The General Lee, Tennessee

We're talking about the original Dukes of Hazzard vehicle, not the Johnny Knoxville/Jessica Simpson vehicle.
 
Chicken, Alaska
They wanted to name the town Ptarmigan, but couldn't decide how to spell it. Maybe this one is better as trivia.
 
Jolly Green Giant Statue, Minnesota
He's 55 feet tall (and fortunately wearing undies).
 
Devils Tower, Wyoming
The USA's first national monument also played a role in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Roswell UFO Museum, New Mexico
Across the street from the only UFO-themed McDonald's. That, I am loving.
 
 
And for credit where credit is due: this list came from TrekAmerica, the company that puts together cool, small group travel for folks aged 18-38. Find out more here.
