1. \u201cWhy Would You Live In Minnesota?\u201d<\/h2>\n

Until someone visits this state during the summer, people are often baffled that other Americans would choose to live in a place that\u2019s so notoriously cold. If you leave the Land of 10,000 Lakes, expect people to assume you\u2019re really just experiencing life for the first time.<\/p>\n

2. No One Knows Where Minnesota Is<\/h2>\n

Everyone knows it\u2019s one of those cold states up by Canada, but unless they recognize its unique shape, they\u2019ll probably have a bit of a problem putting it on a map. Just try to hold in your anger when they confuse it for Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

3. It Might Be Hard To Find A Jucy\/Juicy Lucy<\/h2>\n

One of the finest foods coming out of Minnesota, bars across the entire state can be caught serving up this burger stuffed with molten cheese and every Minnesotan has their favorite place to get it.
\nUnfortunately, once you leave the region it\u2019s rarely on menus. Make sure you get your fix before you say goodbye.<\/p>\n

4. Clarify Which Prince You\u2019re Bragging About<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

Every Minnesotan has a hard time holding back their love for hometown hero and world famous musician Prince. Unfortunately, most Americans might think you\u2019re talking about the ruler type of prince if you\u2019re casually bring him up mid-conversation.
\nIf can be a bit awkward when they finally realize you don\u2019t actually know royalty.<\/p>\n

5. People Will Assume You\u2019re Basically Bear Grylls<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

All most Americans know about Minnesota is that it gets cold. That being said, they\u2019ll probably assume you lived in some isolated cabin hunting for your dinner and collecting wood for fire all day long.
\nWhile that might not sound like a bad time, make sure they know that Minnesotans have similar living conditions to the rest of the country. It\u2019s all part of the joint effort to eliminate these inaccurate stereotypes one at a time.<\/p>\n

6. You\u2019ll Discover You Have Quite The Accent<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

The second you open your mouth, you\u2019ll stick out like a sore thumb anywhere else around the country.
\nThanks to the very unique accent that Minnesotans share, often called the \u201cFargo accent\u201d by outsiders (despite Fargo being a North Dakotan town), everyone you meet will know you aren\u2019t from around there.<\/p>\n

7. You\u2019ll Never Have More Viking Pride<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re leaving Minnesota for somewhere warmer, you\u2019ll quickly discover that the Viking fan base doesn\u2019t travel much. That won\u2019t keep you from holding back come game day though, you\u2019ll be a more vibrant Viking fan than ever\u2026 just expect a few jokes from locals.<\/p>\n

8. No Fair Will Compare<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

With close to 2 million people attending the Minnesota State Fair every year, it\u2019s easy to see how this giant party is one of the best around. With plenty of rides and more fried food than you can handle, come the end of August, you\u2019re sure to miss it if you can\u2019t go.<\/p>\n

9. You Can Stop Fearing Mosquitos<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Carly & Art<\/div>\n

With all the lakes in Minnesota, it\u2019s not surprising that the mosquito is often mistaken for the state bird. Fortunately, most other places in the country don\u2019t have the same level of bug problem.
\nLook forward to not dreading time spent outside when the bug spray isn\u2019t within arm\u2019s reach.<\/p>\n

10. You\u2019ll Get Treated Like A Canadian<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

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

While half the change in your pocket might be Canadian, that doesn\u2019t make you any less America. Unfortunately, many outsiders you meet will assume that Minnesotans are basically just like our neighbors to the north.
\nIt might get a bit annoying at times when they keep comparing the two places.<\/p>\n

11. Ketchup On Steak = Insanity<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User ozz13x<\/div>\n

Minnesotans might treat ketchup like a fix-all spice that can be put on everything, but it\u2019s sure to turn heads if you put ketchup on your steak outside of this state. Expect a few questions if you do this in front of new friends.<\/p>\n

12. People Won\u2019t Be As Nice\u2026 Like, At All<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User e3000<\/div>\n

There \u201cnice\u201d and then there\u2019s \u201cMinnesota nice.\u201d You\u2019ll surely meet friendly people wherever you travel but you\u2019ll never be in a place with more inherent hospitality that the Land of 10,000 Lakes.<\/p>\n

13. People Won\u2019t Be So Passive Aggressive<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Brian Lane Winfield Moore<\/div>\n

If you screw up anywhere else in the country, expect someone to get in your face about it. Subtle put-downs and insults that are common in Minnesota, like the famous \u201cthat\u2019s interesting\u2026\u201d don\u2019t travel much.<\/p>\n

14. Timberwolves Fans Are Impossible To Find<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Joe Bielawa<\/div>\n

Thanks to several lackluster years, even some Minnesotans have disowned their local NBA team. If you leave the state, you\u2019ll probably never find another fan to watch these basketball games with.<\/p>\n

15. \u201cWho Are The Wild, Again?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

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

If people outside of Minnesota ignore the Timberwolves, the Wild might as well be nonexistent. With hockey not quite as popular in the rest of the country, many Americans won\u2019t even know who the Wild are.<\/p>\n

16. You\u2019ll Be Avoiding Plenty Of Packers Fans<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

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

While Minnesotan fans might not get out much, Green Bay fans are lurking in every dive bar across the country. While you might have plenty of experience talking trash at rivalry games back home, you\u2019ll probably be outnumbered anywhere else in the world.<\/p>\n

17. No One Wants To Try Your Lutefisk<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

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

A popular Norwegian dish, there are plenty of people snacking on this gelatinous protein in the Gopher State. Expect new friends to be a little tentative before they stick this in their mouth.<\/p>\n

18. No One Else Knows How To Drive In Snow<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User William Brawley<\/div>\n

While Minnesotans have mastered the art of maintaining the speed limit with a couple inches of powder on the ground, the rest of the country isn\u2019t quite so brave.
\nYou\u2019ll probably want to just avoid the roads altogether on a snow day to avoid the frustration of traffic jams and extreeeeeemely slow driving.<\/p>\n

19. \u201cWhat Did You Just Say?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

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

Aside from just an accent, Minnesotans also have a few sayings sure to catch outsiders off guard. Use of phrases like \u201cuff da,\u201d \u201cdoncha,\u201d \u201cyou betcha\u201d, and the ever-present\u201d yeah\u201d are sure to get pointed out.<\/p>\n

20. Things Won\u2019t Be So Wet And Wild<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

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

While heading to the lake is a normal summer activity in Minnesota, most places aren\u2019t so fortunate when it comes to outdoor activities. You\u2019ll definitely be let down if you move somewhere that doesn\u2019t let you get outside so much.<\/p>\n

21. Most Salads Don\u2019t Have Jell-O, Marshmallows, And Fruit In Them<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

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

A favorite amongst Minnesotans, a bowl of fruit salad can be found at every special occasion. Don\u2019t let the name fool you, it\u2019s not as healthy as it sounds.<\/p>\n

22. You Might Have To Start Drinking Starbucks<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

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

While Caribou Coffee might be your go-to place for a cup of Joe back home, this brand can\u2019t be found everywhere around the country. You might have to settle for a larger chain like Starbucks or Dunkin\u2019.<\/p>\n

23. Sometimes You CAN Buy Booze On Sunday<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Tennett Stowe<\/div>\n

Just because Minnesota has some wacky liquor laws preventing the Sunday sales of booze at liquor store doesn\u2019t mean most states fall into the same category.
\nIn most places around the country, you\u2019ll have no problem making a quick beer run before Sunday Night Football if you don\u2019t have enough to drink already stocked in the fridge.<\/p>\n

24. A \u201cHot Dish\u201d Might Not Be What You\u2019re Expecting<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User regan76<\/div>\n

The term \u201chot dish\u201d usually just refers to anything that\u2019s warm in most states. If you order something from the \u201chot dish\u201d menu expecting a filling casserole, you\u2019ll probably be a bit disappointed.<\/p>\n

25. Its Duck, Duck, Goose<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

A favorite childhood game in Minnesota, most Americans aren\u2019t playing \u201cduck, duck, grey duck\u201d, they\u2019re waiting for the term \u201cgoose\u201d to be called instead. Make sure your kids know about this minor change before hitting the playground.<\/p>\n

26. Nowhere Else Will Embrace Winter Like You Do<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Tony Webster<\/div>\n

Most Americans tend to cower inside when the temperatures drop, but not Minnesotans. They throw parties like the Saint Paul Winter Carnival, full of snow, ice, and thousands of people.<\/p>\n

27. It\u2019s Assumed You\u2019re A Mall Rat<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Aine D<\/div>\n

One of the most famous tourist attractions in Minnesota, if someone knows one thing about your state, they\u2019ll probably know about that its home to the Mall of America.
\nMuch to their surprise, locals don\u2019t really go to the Mall of America anymore, as there are tons of other cheaper, less crowded places in the same area, as well as this thing called the internet.<\/p>\n

28. \u201cCold Temps\u201d Will Be A Breeze<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re coming from somewhere where it\u2019s necessary to plug your car in at night to make sure it starts in the morning, any other cold weather you encounter elsewhere will seem like a walk in the park.<\/p>\n

29. Everyone Always Forgets The Twins<\/h2>\n

\"31<\/p>\n

While Minnesotans might not have a problem throwing their support behind the local MLB team, the Twins aren\u2019t too popular around the rest of the country. They\u2019re one of those teams that you\u2019ll mention and people will have a lightbulb moment as they remember they exist.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve spent years of your life in Minnesota, no other place will really feel like home. Blame it on the friendly people, hearty meals, and the beautiful lakes, but everywhere else you go will always fall short.
\nThankfully, the Land of 10,000 Lakes will always welcome you back with open arms.
