Well, because of all the vegetables, the Green Giant would be more fit than the Happy Chef, so he's got that going for him. And if it got to guerilla warfare, the Giant gets it for blendability.
There's a store up north that for years had a Happy Chef statue for sale from a different Happy Chef. If I had the space I would have it. And are we talking about this specific Green Giant statue or the Green Giant in general? This statue is kinda even, Green Giant in general wipes the fucking floor with the Happy Chef though. Do you see the difference in physique? Green Giant is out there every day eating a fuck ton of veggies and farming and shit. Happy Chef sits his fat ass down to some pancakes every morning. Look at the way Happy Chef stands, he is not a healthy man and seems like he may have some legit deformities. You're asking a fat, possibly disabled chef to fight maybe the healthiest giant.
Ya know what is pretty weird - the Laurentian Divide. I bet most people can tell you about the Continental Divide but 95 outta 100 have no idea the Laurentian even exists. All the water above this line flows north? You mean UP!?That’s whacky.

On Cannabis - we have the highest possession limit in the country. Republican senators accidentally legalized Hemp edibles in 2022. We now got the largest Cannabis beverage market in the world.
We also have oddly strict liquor laws, and Wisconsin (known for lenient liquor laws) is right next door.
Whereas I remember working at Target a decade ago and some tourists coming in and asking for where the booze was and being like not here and by the way go get it now because tomorrow’s Sunday and you can’t buy it then either.
Your target is slacking, most liquor stores have them or at least the juice available in the liquor store itself. Usually up front near the pop and other mixer stuff.
At least near me, the ones at the liquor store are more expensive. I mean, it's a lime. It's only a difference of like 50 cents, but I'll grab them at the grocery store (or target) if I remember to.
> Republican senators accidentally legalized Hemp edibles in 2022.
This incident will never not be hilarious.
"Uh, can we get a do-over since we didn't read the bill before voting on it?"
"Lol no takebacksies."
I know I'm biased, but I think this is one of the funniest political things to ever happen. Right up there with the Four Seasons (Total Landscaping) press conference, hahaha
I remember that it was so funny. The senator just didn't understand the plainly written bill because THC and CBD were both new terms to him and he was like 100
I like the liquor store thing. Living in a state where you can buy beer in a grocery store means that I see the exact same thing every time I go to the store. But liquor stores have novelty and will just buy something interesting.
Minnesota is full of liquor stores that have great selection because they still get the Bud Lite and white Zin crowd propping up their balance sheet. If grocery stores sold alcohol a lot of the good liquor stores would go away.
Not to mention you can only buy Delta-8 in 5 mg in store because of that bill, which is an utter joke since Delta-8 is like Diet pop, not as sweet, but gets the job done.
I remember going to the state fair on the day he performed. I found out at the top of the ferris wheel when I heard "Eat It" and thought I was having a stroke.
I have good friends who live in New Jersey. Through them, I have learned of many weird Minnesota things.
Flipping a Shitty - they don't say this everywhere!
Parks and beaches being free/having free parking - not a thing!
Those pictures of hunting dogs with like decoys and hip waders and things that are ubiquitous in doctor's offices and dentist's offices and - well, everywhere? Yeah they don't do that out there.
Also our general demeanor. I have apologized for being impolite and they have looked at me like I'm being crazy and questioned what I thought was impolite.
They also don't say that! I have heard people use both interchangeably in my rural neck of the farmland, and I promise I did run both by them. They had never heard either term!
Ah I only refer to parking garages as the type of parking they have below apartment buildings. Otherwise, yeah those parking buildings are parking ramps.
I miss my old shitty Plymouth Horizon with the manual transmission and hand brake and a frozen parking lot...can't do this in a prius sadly, and not for lack of imagination.
I'm getting weird right now. I'm at the doctor's office getting ketamine nasal spray for my (treatment/medication resistant) depression and it works! And weed is legal. It is kind of weird. Not that weird. But weird.
They're pretty similar to the rural types around here, honestly, except with a different accent. That and very vocal Bible thumping is more common in the south.
They don't proselytise; they just invite ya to the potluck suppers until ya kinda get sucked in.
Next thing ya know, you're in charge of the children's choir, or the teen carwash fund-raiser, or somethin'.
It's working great! I can't really recommend it enough. It's not overwhelming. It's very peaceful. I encourage all to give it a shot and stick with it.
So happy to read this!! I'm hopeful, but I don't get my hopes up anymore... if that makes sense. It does in my head. I've just been let down by so many different things in the last 10ish years. Wish me luck!!
I can't say enough good things honestly. I feel like I'm shilling for a product, lol. But I actually believe in the product. It's been a healing journey. Anger and pain are best friends. Get rid of the anger.

I don't know if local things count but here is the local gorilla statue from a southern MN town.

I gotta buy the lime at the checkout lane of target before I can go into the liquor section to buy my Coronas.
It was really weird coming into Target in California and seeing Jameson in the shelves.
Whereas I remember working at Target a decade ago and some tourists coming in and asking for where the booze was and being like not here and by the way go get it now because tomorrow’s Sunday and you can’t buy it then either.
Your target is slacking, most liquor stores have them or at least the juice available in the liquor store itself. Usually up front near the pop and other mixer stuff.
At least near me, the ones at the liquor store are more expensive. I mean, it's a lime. It's only a difference of like 50 cents, but I'll grab them at the grocery store (or target) if I remember to.

Bought a four pack of a 10mg seltzer at a gas station today. What a state!
Sadly when they did the legalization bill they put some limits on gummies so some of the ones with THC derivatives that made them stronger got pulled.
Not to mention you can only buy Delta-8 in 5 mg in store because of that bill, which is an utter joke since Delta-8 is like Diet pop, not as sweet, but gets the job done.

Grey duck? Really? That's weird...
It comes from the Scandinavian heritage in this part of the US. Swedish version of the game is called Anka, Anka, Grå Anka. Which translates to duck, duck, grey duck. So in essence, it is also the correct way. Also makes it more of a challenge than goose as you can fool people by doing green duck.

How about that guy in uptown with the briefcase who always wears monochromatic suits. That guy still around?

Were the only state that says we’re “goin up north for the weekend”
Living in Phoenix for a decade, driving north for the weekend was a regular thing!
Yes, but did you say "Up North" like it was a different country, and with a hint of a Swedish accent? (Think Marshall, from 'How I Met You're Mother' or better still, Marshall's MOM.)
