My theory is that the humidity is what drives people crazy. It's gotta be something in the air. More realistically, I think it's probably just the culture. Just listen to Stitches or watch Scar Face and it's abundantly clear FL is culturally a circus.
Also, as someone from New England, most people are surprised when they learn I've never been to FL. It's one of the most common vacation and retirement spots for people up here. It's on my bucket lists for the next few years. Unfortunately, most of my friends either have been before or have a bad image of the state, so I'd probably have to go on a solo mission. Not gonna lie, 25% of my reason for going there would be smash lol.
