1. Coloradans Love For Orange And Blue Never Waivers
Coloradans still get seasick when thinking of their embarrassing loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the 2014 Super Bowl. There is even perhaps a bit of denial over the whole thing.
But Bronco fans still have mad love for their team and their loyalty perseveres—as evidenced by the sea of orange and blue on game day and the chant “In-com-plete!”
2. For Coloradans The Hardest Question Isn’t Should They Drink A Colorado Microbrew, It’s Which One?
Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber said it best: Colorado is a place where “the beer flows like wine.” When there’s 99 bottles of beer on the wall all the time, it presents you with some difficult decisions. Do you go with the double IPA or the dry-hopped ale? The imperial stout or the smoked porter? Coloradans are known for their undying love of all things hoppy and there is no such thing as a bad beer here.
There are more than 150 breweries in the state specializing in microbrews and craft concoctions. And Coloradans don’t just drink their suds, they make their own too. Home brewing is huge here, and everyone is an expert. That’s something we can all toast to.
3. Every Coloradan’s Other Car Is A Subaru
Coloradans are practical if nothing, and driving a Subaru is just an extension of this solid common sense. Everyone drives one—everyone!
Subarus are so proliferous that Coloradans have been known to open another person’s car, mistaking it for theirs. But hey, there is a need for fuel efficiency and all-wheel drive what with the mountains, and snowy weather, so who can blame them?
4. Even When A Blizzard Hits, Coloradans Stay Frosty…
In a state where snowstorms are a regular occurrence, Coloradans laugh at the phrase “record snow fall.” That’s like every day of their life for seven friggin months! So no, a little snow doesn’t faze these guys. Highways may shut down, but school is still in session!
Despite what the rest of the country may think, you don’t actually ski to work. That’s what the Subaru is for! You just make do with dry skin and always keep a backup ice scraper in the car. And you are convinced that you alone are keeping North Face in business.
5. That’s Probably Because, Coloradans Are Addicted To Fresh Powder
With majestic mountains, world-class ski resorts, and ample, feathery, perfect snowfall, Colorado is ski country. It has the best powder for snowboarding, a reality that all Coloradans come to know at a very young age.
6. The Springs Puts A… Well… Spring In Conservative Coloradans’ Step
If you’re conservative in Colorado you either live in Colorado Springs, or wish you did.
That’s because Coloradans who reside here tend to hang to the right a bit.
In fact, the town was recently named the No. 2 best place for conservatives to live.
7. To Folks In Colorado Real Pizza Has Honey
One doesn’t normally associate honey as an acceptable dipping sauce for pizza, but at Beau Jo’s, it’s not only an acceptable condiment, it’s a required one.
The “Colorado Mountain Style Pizza” even has honey in its crust, and honey tops the tables alongside the Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Yum.
8. Folks In Colorado Keep The Wild West Spirit Alive And Bootscootin’
Every heard of the cowboy shuffle? It was practically invented here. There’s a little bit of Cowboy in all Coloradans.
Sure, the cowboys here may ride fence lines and herd cattle with ATVs instead of horses, but they still rock their western wear. Wranglers and Stetsons only, please.
9.To Coloradans Non-Renewable Energy Really Blows
Coloradans take an aggressive stance on renewable energy. They are serious about alternative energy solutions, and have even gone so far as to adopt an energy standard requiring 30 percent of the state’s electricity to come from renewable energy by the year 2020.
Coloradans are committed to exploring all avenues, including solar, biomass, geothermal, and—you guessed it—wind power.
10. Everyone In Colorado Knows That No Other State Can Compare With Theirs
Coloradans voted against hosting the Olympics in Denver in 1976. Who does that?! Coloradans do, that’s who… They have mad love for their state and they want to keep it all to themselves. After all, it does have endless days of sunshine, the most majestic sunsets ever (Coloradans are closer to the sun), and epic beer. And let’s not forget, you can legally get high in Rocky Mountain High.
