For Delaware, it's Kevlar--the stuff used in bulletproof vests. For Idaho, it's television. South Carolina's claim to fame is the submarine. Each of the 50 states of the United States can claim to be the location for at least one great invention. This BuzzFeed video shows them all.
Did any of them surprise you? Would you dispute the home of any of these inventions?
