Stop Renting Cars In Southern Utah… THIS IS CHEAPER!
At one point or another in your life, you've probably needed to rent a car, right? But it can be SO EXPENSIVE! What looks cheap, can EASILY turn expensive and hundreds of dollars a day for a car!
You know what's even worse? Flying into a city and THERE'S NO CARS LEFT TO RENT! What do you do?!
I GOT YOU COVERED!
UHAUL!
Now here me out... Nobody wants to drive a big storage truck around, but what if it was a fraction of the cost of a car rental? I'm talking... AT LEAST half the price! If you wanted a tiny little car for a week, that could run you $250, minimum! But renting a UHAUL truck would be a fraction of that!
UHAUL rents their trucks at $20 a day! TWENTY BUCKS! YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT!
A friend of mine, Brayden Phillips, used to work for Enterprise Rent-A-Car and he's even used this hack before in his own life. "Sometime's we run out of cars and people don't know what to do! I tell them to go rent a UHAUL for $20 a day!"
Phillips recalls a time where he passed that advice on to a man who flew into town for a softball tournament. "After the tournament was over, he told me what a great idea it was to rent the UHAUL. Him and his buddies piled in the back between games, and had a place to hang out!"
ALSO... You only have to be 18 years old to rent a UHAUL, instead of 25 for most car rental companies. That's BIG!

YIKES: Things That Offend You If You're A Southern Utahn
1. Being told a certain Drive-In on St. George Blvd is "GREAT" but "Expensive":
Where were ya'll when they closed down?! This business has an ARMY of people coming after me for saying their food is expensive. Apparently, I need a higher paying job and "go to yelp, if I NEED to write a review" wtf.
2. The words "GREATER ZION":
Don't you DARE say those words. "Greater Zion" is like the guy your girl told you not to worry about, then you break up and she's doing the Walk-Of-Shame out of his house at 7am. We HATE those words!
3. Change. Any change. AT ALL:
Don't change the flag! Stop building homes! Stop bringing in new restaurants! Stop making this place better! We want to pretend it's 1970 forever!
4. A California License plate:
If your car has a California plate, just HIDE! They're coming after you. You'll catch a middle finger. You'll get cut off in traffic. Did you commit murder? No... You just have a California License plate!
5. Anything with the words "Drag" and "Show" in the title:
Don't EVER pair those words up. Don't even JOKE about those words together. Those words don't belong here! Send those words back to where they came from!
6. Saying Crumbl's cookies are good:
Don't you dare tell someone Crumbl has a good cookie! You must eat it in secret in an alley, like you're cheating on your wife! Don't you dare go admitting that it actually tastes good!
7. Saying Cumbl's cookies are NOT good:
Don't you dare tell someone Crumbl sucks! This is a local Utah company! You are not allowed to have an opinion on Crumbl! They have millions of followers online! Just shut up about Crumbl. Don't even THINK of saying anything.
8. Pronouncing Zion "Zy-On":
Hey pal... It's ZY-IN like LION. You're clearly not from here, and now you need to leave! We can't have you out here saying ZY-ON. What're you... A CALIFORNIAN?!
9. Protesting ANYTHING Publicly:
Wait! You're angry about something?! Well I'm angry that you're angry about it! Protesting at Planned Parenthood? Protesting BLM on Main Street? Here come the guys with GIANT LIFTED TRUCKS to save the day!
10. Posting a photo of a celebrity you met in town:
"LEAVE THEM ALONE! THEY'RE JUST A NORMAL PERSON!" It would be AWESOME to meet your favorite celebrity at Cafe Rio here in town, but if you post that photo... Get ready for all the "LET THEM BE! THEY DON'T DESERVE THIS" comments. GUYS... RELAX!
Utah: TRUE FACTS That Sound Fake!
It's no surprise, Utah is America's favorite state! Here are some FACTS about The Beehive State that sound 100% made up!
Utah has the YOUNGEST population in the nation!
It's true! When you think Utah, you may think OLD TIMERS, RETIRED PEOPLE, GRANDPARENTS! But approximately 30% of Utah is under 18 years old! Utah's average age of the population is 31.5 years old!

Gayest City in America?
That's right! Salt Lake City was named America's GAYEST city in 2012 by Advocate.com. Salt Lake already has a HUGE Pride Parade every June, but they also had International Mr. Leather semifinalist, nude yoga classes, an LGBT bookstore, and Sundance Festival.
The first KFC was in Utah!
The Colonel lived in Utah? That's right! The first KFC is located at 3890 S. State Street, in Salt Lake City. The name 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' actually came from the painter that was creating a sign for 'Harman's Cafe', and the name KFC stuck!
The WORST AIR in the WHOLE WORLD?
