Oh, Roadsnacks. Didn’t mamma ever tell you? If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Well, the answer is an apparent no because the infotainment site recently released its list of what it calls “the dumbest cities in California.”
Before you get too bent out of shape, Roadsnacks wants you to know that this mean old list is all in good fun.
“This article is an opinion based on facts and is meant as infotainment. Don’t freak out,” a disclaimer on the website reads.
