1. \u201cWhich One Is Missouri Again?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Wikimedia Commons (edited)<\/div>\n

Most people tend to lump Missouri in with all of the other squarish fly-over states in the Midwest.
\nWell, there are plenty of reasons for out-of-towners to visit this uniquely shaped state. Try not to get too annoyed with outsiders\u2019 general lack of knowledge when it comes to Midwest geography.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cAre You Saying \u2018Miss U\u2019?\u201d<\/h2>\n

If we were saying \u201cMiss U\u201d we\u2019d probably be talking about Mississippi University. The top dog when it comes to college sports here is Mizzou, home to the Tigers.<\/p>\n

3. \u201cWait, So Kansas City Is In Missouri?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Hey Paul Studios<\/div>\n

For the last time, just because the word \u201cKansas\u201d is in its name doesn\u2019t mean this city has to actually be in Kansas. Both Missouri and Kansas share this huge metropolitan area with a majority of the cool stuff landing in the Show-Me State.<\/p>\n

4. \u201cIs That The Springfield From The Simpsons?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, several years ago writer Matt Groening admitted that the Springfield the Simpsons are from is actually set in Oregon. Whatever. His loss.<\/p>\n

5. \u201cHow Do You Get To The Top Of The Arch?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

The first time people see the St. Louis arch, many are shocked you can actually go up in it. The view is great, but cramming into a tiny car with a bunch of strangers while you slowly get pulled to the top? Not so much.<\/p>\n

6. \u201cDoes Everyone Here Cheer For The Cardinals?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

When it comes to baseball in Missouri, fans get pretty polarized. All of the people in the eastern part of the state will be rooting for the Cards, while the Western half is filled with die-hard Royals fans. One state. Two awesome teams.<\/p>\n

7. \u201cWhy Is Everyone Drinking Budweiser?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Jo Jakeman<\/div>\n

Introduced to America in 1876, St. Louis has a long history of pumping out cans of Bud for the rest of the country to enjoy. This is one place where drinking local means the same thing as drinking macro.<\/p>\n

8. \u201cWhy Do You Burn Your Meat?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

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

To many, it\u2019s hard to understand how eating something that\u2019s burnt can be appealing in any sort of way. Those people have never tried burnt ends.
\nFamously coming out of the Kansas City area, burnt ends are noted for their juiciness thanks to their high fat content.<\/p>\n

9. \u201cAre The Ram Leavings?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User GMO66<\/div>\n

Recently tons of rumors have been floating around about the Rams possibly moving to Los Angeles. It\u2019s not like people in Missouri have an inside source\u2026they\u2019ve got access to the same information as everyone else.
\nHowever, the latest report does say they\u2019re staying for a bit longer.<\/p>\n

10. \u201cHow Do You Deep Fry Pasta?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

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

Deep-frying pasta is as easy as deep-frying anything else. You just bread the noodle and toss it in some piping hot oil. After trying the St. Louis Classic, fried ravioli, you\u2019ll be wondering why this trend is taking so long to catch on elsewhere.<\/p>\n

11. \u201cWhat\u2019s The Forecast For Today?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Jamie McCaffrey<\/div>\n

Nestled deep in the Midwest, trying to predict the weather in Missouri can seem like a game of chance sometimes. It\u2019s best to just prepare for absolutely any possible scenario.<\/p>\n

12. \u201cWhat\u2019s A Billiken?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

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

Known around this state for being the mascot of Saint Louis University athletics, a Billiken was a charm doll created by an art teacher from Kansas City. Purchasing one of these guys is said to bring good luck.<\/p>\n

13. \u201cWhy Is It Called The Show-Me State?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User CollegeDegrees360<\/div>\n

This nickname might seem a bit strange, but it\u2019s had a long history in Missouri.
\nThe most widely accepted origin story has to do with a Missourian congressman refusing to be impressed by eloquent words from politicians claiming that he needed to be SHOWN something before he could believe it.<\/p>\n

14. \u201cShouldn\u2019t We Be Hiding If The Storm Sirens Are Going Off?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

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

When a storm siren goes off in Missouri, the recommended procedure is to head to safety. Unfortunately, the first response for most Missourians is to step outside with a beer and watch the clouds roll in.<\/p>\n

15. \u201cYou Guys Actually Go Caving?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

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

With over 6,000 caves in Missouri, it\u2019s no surprise that this state is full of spelunkers. Who said the only cool stuff to see in this country was above ground?<\/p>\n

16. \u201cAre We Supposed To Eat These?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

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

One popular Missourian pastime that you won\u2019t find everywhere is frog-gigging. With tons of people around the Show-Me State using tiny pronged spears to hunt these hoppy critters, don\u2019t be surprised if a few of their deep-fried legs end up on your dinner plate.<\/p>\n

17. \u201cSo You Just Sit On An Inner Tube And Float?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

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

Another favorite activity in Missouri is river floating. It\u2019s as simple as it sounds: find some sort of slowly flowing water, grab a few friends with rafts, a case of beer, and you\u2019re on your way to a very relaxing afternoon.<\/p>\n

18. \u201cDid You Know There\u2019s A Cuba And A Paris Here?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

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

While there are less than 5,000 people living in Cuba and Paris combined, most Missourians will be well aware that these two cities are in their state, mostly thanks to road signs.<\/p>\n

19. \u201cIs Your Barbecue Really Thaaaaat Good?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

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

Yes, yes it is. Slow-smoked in a pit before being covered by thick, flavorful sauces, no barbecue is as succulent or as delicious as the stuff you\u2019ll find in the Kansas City area.<\/p>\n

20. \u201cWhat\u2019s Provel Cheese?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Famous for giving St. Louis Pizza its unique twist, Provel cheese is a blend of cheddar, Swiss, and provolone that\u2019s known for maintaining its gooeyness after being cooked. You won\u2019t find this on most grocery store shelves.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re headed to Lambert\u2019s Caf\u00e9, here\u2019s a heads up\u2026they throw dinner rolls at you. Originating in Sikeston, MO, this place is now famous around the entire country thanks to their crazy antics.<\/p>\n

22. \u201cHow Do You Pronounce Missouri Properly?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User eVo photo<\/div>\n

Even people from the Show-Me State can\u2019t agree on a single way to say \u201cMissouri.\u201d Depending on the person you\u2019re talking to its either \u201cMissour-ee\u201d or it\u2019s \u201cMissour-uh.\u201d Everyone thinks they\u2019re right and they\u2019ll be willing to fight you over it.<\/p>\n

23. \u201cHow Much Butter Exactly Goes Into Gooey Butter Cake?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User James G. Milles<\/div>\n

With a name like that, it\u2019s no wonder many outsiders sense an underlying fear for their life as they bite into this Missouri favorite.
\nWhile it might seem as if you\u2019re basically biting into a stick of butter, there are tons of other unhealthy ingredients in this treat as well. Don\u2019t worry though, it\u2019s worth every calorie.<\/p>\n

24. \u201cWhy Are There So Many Mark Twain Things?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

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

One hometown hero that will never leave, the writer that created the characters of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn is from Florida, Missouri.
\nThanks to that fact, there are now tons of memorials, statues, and even festivals around this state all commemorating Mark Twain and everything he did with his pen.<\/p>\n

25. \u201cCan Tractors Just Drive On The Road Like That?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User D H Wright<\/div>\n

With a huge farming culture in rural Missouri, it\u2019s not uncommon to encounter tractors on the roads. Not surprisingly, farmers have to get from one place to another just like everyone else. Try not to get too frustrated, as the farming industry plays an essential role in this state\u2019s economy. You\u2019ll be able to pass soon\u2026hopefully.<\/p>\n

26. \u201cHow Do You Play Cornhole?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Playing cornhole is as simple as tossing bags filled with corn at a target 45 feet away. Land on the board, get a point\u2026land in the hole, get 3!<\/p>\n

27. \u201cSo People Here Actually Cheer For The Kansas City Chiefs?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Josta Photo<\/div>\n

Again, just because the word \u201cKansas\u201d is in this team\u2019s name doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re actually headquartered in Kansas. If you\u2019re anywhere on the western side of Missouri, you\u2019re sure to encounter a sea of red come Sunday.<\/p>\n

28. \u201cWhy Would You Ever Leave Missouri?\u201d<\/h2>\n

Home to a awesomely fresh food, easy access to two huge cities, and some of the friendliest people you\u2019ll ever meet, it\u2019s hard to make an argument against living in Missouri. It doesn\u2019t take long in this state to realize just how special the Show-Me State really is.
