How did Florida become the fifth most boring state in the US?

“With its 104 boring attractions, Florida may seem like the capital of boredom at first glance,” says Solitaired.

Yet it only ranks as the fifth most boring state, as each attraction elicits very few yawns from visitors. Despite many attractions being labeled as boring by reviewers, this sentiment is such a minority that Florida only ranks as the fifth most boring state is called.”
