Well do I know the fudgies of Northern Michigan. The name derives from the tourist propensity to purchase large blocks of flavored sugar and fat. Not only did we have the beach variety, but also the National Cherry Festival fudgies and leaf-peepers as well. They are all just fudgies to us. A saying we have in Traverse City among those dependent on the service industry for their paychecks is "The bay is half the pay." Only problem is they are always run ragged during the season and starved in the winter. When do they get to enjoy the bay? Or buy over-priced fudge, for that matter? Tourists are not necessarily all fudgies, only tourists that put locals in danger with their bad driving skills or those that treat the locals like slaves, at best. I have met many fine tourists that do not qualify for fudgiehood.
