A Walmart top seller in South Dakota? You better believe it. Thank you very much.

Walmart announced that it will raise entry-level wages for U.S. hourly employees to $11 an hour beginning in February, as it benefits from last month’s overhaul of the U.S. tax code. USA TODAY

South Dakotans can tell you: We don't have to be fancy to be interesting.

So when Walmart recently released its pick for an "interesting" top-25, best-selling product in 2017 for each state, we weren't surprised.

Orange juice.

That's right. It's not sexy. It's not the latest gizmo. Just a colorful fruit juice with a stonking amount of of Vitamin C.

Other states have their Disney Infinity Power Discs (Tennesee) and L.O.L. Surprise! Dolls (Arizona) or Lavender Scented Cleaning Products (Michigan).

But we South Dakotans know what's most interesting: The crisp, refreshing taste of the finest citrus known to man. A fruit that is so amazing, they named a color after it. 

Even North Dakota thinks it's better than us, with its Watermelon Flavored Gum top-seller. But you know what? Watermelon Flavored Gum never did battle with a cold and won, did it? You lose, North Dakota. Enjoy the sniffles.

Our bestseller is mom approved. It supports our fellow farmers. And those mandarin types go just great in a Jello salad with some whipped cream on top.

But most importantly, picking orange juice proves we South Dakotans may not always have the most flash and glamor. But we know what matters.

Orange juice. Yeah. Orange juice.
