Lol... I had to put facts mostly about food.
1. Hawaii is the only state to grow and produce its own coffee.
2. Hawaii is the only state to grow and produce its own chocolate.
3. Hawaii is the only state to have ever had a form of government other than a democracy (a monarchy), and the only to have an actual palace ('Iolani Palace).
4. Hawaii is the only state to have stations for all branches of the military.
Sorry, that was more than 3.

Some interesting facts: Tourism is the number one industry; It is the only state in the US that has a Royal Palace; when they became a state and had to select 2 people to enshrine in the US Capitol as historically significant, one of them was Father Damien, who founded the leper colony on Molokai.
