Alabama is also divided into two sections, based on their geographical location - the southern section of the state including Anniston and Decatur, and the northern portion including Baldwin, Cullman, Clarke, Jefferson, Morgan and Perry, with some counties in between. The northern section is also known as the "Deep South," due to a large number of southern counties which are part of it, such as: Anderson, Bibb, Baldwin, Blount, Clarke, Coffee, Dade, Duval, Escambia, Franklin, Fulton, Gallatin, Hendry, Hillsborough, Jackson, Jasper, Laurens, Lee, Macon, Montgomery, Morehead City, Orangeburg, Pickens, Shelby, Union, Wakulla, Walton and Wilson Counties. The southern section is also often referred to as the "Bubba" because of its "orange juice" taste, because of a famous Alabama ad campaign that featured a person from Anniston who had been "purified."
