How many time zones are in the United States?

If you ask someone on the east coast, their answer would be one. Ask someone near the Great Lakes, and they would say two. Ask a left coaster and they would make damn sure that they were included and they would say three.

There is another one. A large span of land filled with actual mountains and trees. This is the land where I was born and raised. The land where TV listings trail off into nothing.

This is the Forgotten Time Zone.
