1. Is Detroit Really Thaaaat Bad?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Thanks to its portrayal in modern media, most Americans assume that Detroit is basically a third-world country. Sure, there are bad parts here like any city, but anyone who\u2019s been to Detroit knows it\u2019s actually pretty cool.<\/p>\n

2. Why Does Everyone Keep Pointing To Their Hand?<\/h2>\n

What\u2019s easier than just saying the town you\u2019re from? Pointing to a spot on your hand that corresponds to its exact location!
\nThanks to shape of this state, it\u2019s easy to tell someone where in Michigan you\u2019re from even if they\u2019re unfamiliar with the area.<\/p>\n

3. So, Is Michigan Two States? Or Just One?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s both an Upper and Lower Peninsula and they couldn\u2019t be more different, it\u2019s all united under the same \u201cMichigan.\u201d Quit thinking it\u2019s like North and South Dakota.<\/p>\n

4. How Do You Live On A Mitten?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Krista Baltroka<\/div>\n

If someone from Michigan tells an out-of-stater they live on the \u201cmitten,\u201d they might get some confused looks. This is just how the locals tend to refer to the Lower Peninsula most of the time.<\/p>\n

5. Do You Guys Think Trolls Are Real?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

The only thing connecting the UP and LP is one giant bridge. Around if you live in the Upper Peninsula, anyone living under the bridge is called a \u201ctroll.\u201d
\nThey\u2019re just normal people that are nothing like the scraggly haired, wild eyed creatures looming in the darker places of fairytales.<\/p>\n

6. What\u2019s A Yooper?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Trolls might live in the LP, but if someone is from the Upper Peninsula, they\u2019re called a Yooper.
\nLiving a life in a summertime paradise that becomes a snowy wonderland in the winter, nothing can top Yooper Pride.<\/p>\n

7. How Can You Still Cheer For The Lions?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Sure, the last few seasons might have been a little disappointing, but the Detroit Lions are leaps and bounds from when fans would come to games shielding their faces with paper bags out of embarrassment.
\nEvery die-hard fan here knows that there are good things to come for this team.<\/p>\n

8. So It Just Tastes Like Blue, Red, And Yellow?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

A favorite in Michigan, Superman ice cream is known for its brightly colored layers. The yellow tastes like vanilla, the red tastes like some sort of sweet fruit, and the blue…I guess that really does just taste like the color blue.<\/p>\n

9. What\u2019s The Forecast Today?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Claus Rebler<\/div>\n

Most of the time, it seems like no one in Michigan actually knows what\u2019s going to happen with the weather, even the weatherpeople. Of course, this is pretty understandable. It can be a difficult thing to predict when it changes every 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

10. HOW DO I TURN LEFT!?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: quickmeme.com<\/div>\n

An essential piece of knowledge when it comes to driving in Michigan, everyone in this state knows that these special \u201cMichigan Left\u201d intersections send people planning to turn left straight through the intersection before putting them in the correct direction.<\/p>\n

11. How Do You Play Euchre Again?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User dennis<\/div>\n

A favorite in these parts, it\u2019s pretty difficult to explain this game in which Jacks are high in just a few sentences. The best way to learn it is to watch a few hands.<\/p>\n

12. Did You Know There\u2019s A Town Called Hell?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User merriehaskell (cropped)<\/div>\n

Yes, everyone in Michigan is well aware that there\u2019s a town called \u201cHell.\u201d There\u2019s also a \u201cChristmas,\u201d a \u201cParadise,\u201d and a \u201cClimax.\u201d This state has a good sense of humor when it comes to naming towns.<\/p>\n

13. Can I Pay With Canadian Change?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User t r e v y<\/div>\n

Are you in Canada? Then NO! Just because Canadian change seems to sneak its way into pockets all around the Great Lake State doesn\u2019t mean it has to be an accepted form of currency.<\/p>\n

14. Why Do We Hate Fudgies Again?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User snowpea&bokchoi<\/div>\n

Famous for driving slow and crowding all of this state\u2019s coolest places, these tourists are also well known for their addiction to fudge. Thankfully, most of them stick to just visiting Mackinac Island.<\/p>\n

15. Wait, If I Feel Sick, Why Should I Drink Pop?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Librarian Avenger<\/div>\n

In Michigan, the cure-all for seemingly any simple ailment is just a glass of Vernors. This regional favorite pop is said to help alleviate anything from a headache to indigestion.<\/p>\n

16. Can\u2019t I Just Cheer For Both Teams?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Monica\u2019s Dad<\/div>\n

Few rivalries are as intense as the one that continues to rage between Michigan and Michigan State athletics. Competing every year for a statue of the legendary Paul Bunyan, everyone in this state is forced to pick one side or the other and stick with their decision for life.<\/p>\n

17. You Support Other Midwest States, Right?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User @photogoofer<\/div>\n

Another huge rivalry for folks in Michigan is the one that exists between their state and the nearby Ohio. Mostly stemming from the Wolverine\u2019s rivalry with Buckeye\u2019s on the gridiron, don\u2019t expect these two states to be buddy-buddy anytime soon.<\/p>\n

18. What\u2019s That Hot Dog Sauce Called Again?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User stevendepolo<\/div>\n

Coney Sauce isn\u2019t just a Coney Island thing. This chili based hot dog topping is popular all across this state, often accompanied by onions and mustard.<\/p>\n

19. Mack-e-nack? Mack-eye-nec? Mack-o-now? How Do I Say It Again?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Boston Public Library<\/div>\n

It\u2019s pronounced \u201cMac-i-gnaw!\u201d Saying anything else might get you laughed out of Michigan.<\/p>\n

20. And I Can\u2019t Drive My Car There?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User russteaches<\/div>\n

Known nationwide for its one-of-a-kind appeal, nothing that\u2019s got four wheels and runs on gas is allowed on Michigan\u2019s Mackinac Island with the exception of certain emergency vehicles. Around here, a bicycle is the best way to go.<\/p>\n

21. I Can Just Toss This Bottle In The Trash, Right<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User eschuipu<\/div>\n

Cans are basically like gold in Michigan.
\nWith a 2004 law making it illegal to simply dispose of \u201cbeverage containers,\u201d everyone in Michigan knows that they can get some cash back for every can or bottle they save. That\u2019s probably why the redemption rate is around 95%.<\/p>\n

22. Pasty? Like Something People Wear?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User TheeErin (cropped)<\/div>\n

In Michigan, the only pasty you\u2019ll be seeing is one you want to stick in your mouth. These flaky and savory pastries are a favorite in the Great Lakes State. No two are created alike, so it\u2019s best to just try as many as you can find.<\/p>\n

23. So There\u2019s No McDonald\u2019s. Just This Bridge?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User ThiloG<\/div>\n

If someone says they\u2019re taking the \u201cBig Mac\u201d everyone knows they\u2019re not talking about that triple-bunned burger with special sauce. It\u2019s the Mackinac Bridge and it\u2019s the easiest way to get from one peninsula to the other.<\/p>\n

24. Why Don\u2019t You Drink Cheap Beer?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User thetejon<\/div>\n

If you\u2019re drinking cheap beer in Michigan, you\u2019re doing it wrong. This state is home to some of the finest craft brews around.<\/p>\n

25. How Do You Drive In All That Snow?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User BLB07030<\/div>\n

Snow isn\u2019t really that big of a deal in Michigan. Even if there\u2019s a foot on the ground, life goes on. Don\u2019t be that guy that\u2019s always caught complaining.<\/p>\n

26. Why Does It Smell Like Worms?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Allan Henderson<\/div>\n

Nothing says you\u2019re back home again in Michigan like the earthy smell of lake water. It might seem a little strange at first to someone that\u2019s not used to it, but this smell has its way of growing on you.<\/p>\n

27. Whoa! Where Did That Deer Come From?!<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User donjd2<\/div>\n

It\u2019s no secret that the deer in Michigan aren\u2019t huge fans of the local traffic laws, often making collisions inevitable. If you\u2019re on the roadways at night, proceed with caution. The name of the game is to be smarter than the deer. Repeat: be smarter than the deer.<\/p>\n

28. Can I Get My Costume At The Party Store?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User *_*<\/div>\n

Umm\u2026 no. The Party Store is where you buy the most essential ingredient to the party\u2026 the booze, itself.<\/p>\n

29. What Do You Call Someone From Michigan?<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User snre<\/div>\n

Michiganese? Michiganer? Michiganite? While you might hear any of these names on the streets of this state, the most popular and widely accepted term is Michigander, one of the most unique nicknames in the country.
\nBut the main answer? Lucky. You call someone living in Michigan lucky. Hear that, rest of the world?
