When you turn your garage as second living room from March to November, Claiming Dibs for a parking spot, you have second refrigerator full of pop, beer, in your garage
👍👍 You are NOT wrong. California and New York are foreign to most Americans. I'm from Pittsburgh, Although that's in PA, I feel more "at home" in Cleveland or Milwaukee than I do when I'm even in Philly. (Northwest New York STATE, Like say Buffalo) is kind of normal though. LOL.
Loved your comment on farm equipment on the highway. My grandfather was hauling a manure spreader on route 6 and a car was trying to get around him and honking his horn. Some bozo from the Quad Cities most likely. After being harassed by this car, he finally stopped and turned on the PTO shaft and gave the annoying car behind him a "shower" of sorts. Was this just a grandpa story? Maybe, but it makes me laugh just thinking about it.
You nailed quite a lot of them, ya. I do think Midwesterners also eat a ton of cheese. As a native Minnesotan I am supposedly required by law to hate Wisconsin but I don't, unless they are playing the Vikings. I do absolutely adore cheese curds especially Wisconsin ones (served with a nice beer brat of course) and am shocked that you often cannot find them outside of this region. I also drink milk with most meals, that's probably a Midwest thing too. When I want my curds, thank goodness for Culver's!
Great video! Loved the one that it takes FOREVER to say goodbye. Yes, the state and county fairs (and festivals) are a big deal. Brings to mind the Bean festival in Wayne City. And the Popcorn festival in Ridgeway. And tractors on the highway, yes.
Remember Prairie Home Companion on NPR ? Garrison Keillor sometimes used to have a funny song about how long it takes to say “goodbye “ in the Midwest. I wish I could find it.
im from indiana and the deer keep prancing around like they own the place right until you yell at them you are going to eat them then they tend to run away
Every winter I see high schoolers walking to school in shorts while it is snowing. Those Florida comments about "how cold it is outside" when it is somewhere in the 60's, just makes me laugh. Any time of year, 60's is shorts season. Oh, and no coats needed until below 35. The weather can change quickly. I've finished work and ended up scraping snow from my windshield while wearing a sundress and no coat.
I'm from Florida but currently live here in Indiana, though most of the family I know of either lives in or is from the Midwest, often times both, my mom is included in this statistic as she's from Chicagoland. Admittedly it took me until I watched Midwestern related videos to learn that most people don't measure in time since I always did that. I mean, my dad was from New England and even he did this. It also took me until I saw a bag of puppy chow, I'm sorry, Muddy Buddies, in stores that I actually learned their real name. I still call soda soda though, and as far as I'm aware, my mom always did the same despite being from Northeastern Illinois, I've also never heard suckers outside of that one iCarly episode, no I don't remember the exact one though. I do know the scene had Spencer and some delivery man with a big lollipop and attempts to fight him with it.
I have lollipops. I don’t think I have ever heard lollipops referred to as suckers. Except for the toffee candy on a stick that it seems to take you all day to fully consume (all day suckers)
Sody- not soda, not pop. Tractors, so true! Deer like to commit suicide. 4-H and county fairs. You left out Burgoo!!!! Small Town parades with horses floats and tractors along with a high school marching band. Good video ☺️
@@StuckInTheKernfield I am from West Central Illinois. Between Jacksonville and Pittsfield. Burgoo is like a vegetable soup or stew. Oxtail, beef, chicken and wild game can be in Burgoo. Made in big kettles over a wood fire. Volunteers stay up all night to stir. Sold by the gallon. The Methodist church makes it as a fundraiser every year. Our local chapter of Odd Fellows is making some this spring.
I'm from Pittsburgh and calling drinks like Pepsi or Coke "soda" is just weird. It's "pop"! And yeah, It's "suckers". Despite being in PA, I'm convinced Pittsburgh is a "Midwest" city. I feel more "at home" in Cleveland than I do in Philadelphia.
I've always understood a sucker to be the flat candy on a stick and a lollipop was a ball shaped one with chocolate inside. Maybe that's a Chicago thing? (Full disclosure: I've lived half my life on the West Coast, too.)
Im in southern Illinois. Im not a fan of swimming in lakes, I'd rather fish, it's soda, not pop for me, and this morning, it was 31, and the high is 67. I played padiddle and slug bug in high school, high school football and basketball are more than just sports, they're lifestyles. Last school year, we hosted an exchange student from Italy. They play a game over there that if they see a yellow car while in a car, they say "Yellow car!", then hit the person nearest to them.
Midwest represent. It's soda in Springfield. Lakes and minutes are right. I made weed infused puppy chow 1 year. Tractors drive past my house. It was the same weather here, bc were close. 50 is correct Goodbye is loooooong Illini 4 lyfe Our state fair sucks I was in ffa, bc my welding teacher required it Deer can fuck off 😤
In Ogle and Stephenson Counties they have or used to have spectacular steam and threshing demonstrations. My dad used to take me there when I was little.
Western New York snowbelt here. Attend 10 or more tractor shows a year. A third in Pennsylvania and another third in Ohio. 2 to 3 hours away for most. See we don't use miles to measure distance either. More deer than people. Truck needing repair from the latest one.
I call it pop my husband calls it sody pop. suckers, long goodbyes, lots of festivals and 4-H. How long it takes to get some place is far more important then how far it is. If your are going to someones house you don't tell them how far it is, just when you will arrive. I'm showing my age but in the late 70s everyone wore blue jeans and swede/leather shoes instead of sneakers (same may call them tennis shoes). Something I wonder about is if you ever made potato soup with dumplings, potatoes, onions, condensed milk and very watery, not thick? That seems to be a very mid west recipe.
@@StuckInTheKernfield Actually the star in this soup is the dumplings, which are like egg and flour noodles. I'm surprised you haven't had this recipe. At work I found people from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois that have this recipe. It was the only thing I knew how to make 30 some years ago my husband liked.
50 degrees in the fall is with cold wind and lots of wet air in it. But in spring, the weather is much drier and the wind is warmer. I mean in Indiana I have the same feelings. lol...
I 90 is also always under construction especially between Rockford and Chicago.
In Minnesota we use lakes all year long and if you live more than 5 minutes from a lake, it’s weird.
When you turn your garage as second living room from March to November, Claiming Dibs for a parking spot, you have second refrigerator full of pop, beer, in your garage
Northern Indiana here definitely accurate video lol
If you don’t like the present weather, wait 5 minutes. 😏. A dj on a Chicago radio station used to say that.
We say that in Pittsburgh too. We also share the great word "Jagoff" with Chicago. The only thing Pittsburgh shares with Philly is the word "hoagie".
I'm gonna hang onto this so I can watch it when I have to go outside the United Staes (say California or New York.)

Soda comes from Arm and Hammer and comes in a box.
I thought all this was normal. I'm in NW IL, and we call it pop. While in the navy, I was told I was calling it the wrong thing.
I'm from Pittsburgh (So TECHNICALLY Northeast) But here it's POP. Calling it soda is just...Weird.
They were lying. It's pop.
There is a lot of deer in Riverside, but they aren't usually in traffic.
My dad grew up on a farm in Quincy, IL and he was in the 4H club

My two cousins from Maryland came to visit me in Iowa. They looked at me crazy when, I started dipping my pizza in ranch dressing
You nailed quite a lot of them, ya.

In Carroll county there is a Shadfly Festival in August.
I was President of my FFA Chapter. We were in Green Bay so we were an "urban" chapter.

Midwestern deer work for insurance companies, only programmed for newer vehicles….goood luck tho.
Mine is newer. I just want a different one.
@@StuckInTheKernfield may I suggest more evening/night driving lol
Guilty. We also grew up not locking our doors but that was probably more of a small town thing.
So true. Nothing more peaceful than 4 cornfields intersected by gravel roads crossing.
im from indiana and the deer keep prancing around like they own the place right until you yell at them you are going to eat them then they tend to run away
Winter and Construction isn't the most accurate. It's Construction and slightly less construction while it's cold and annoying lol
NW Ohio Farm girl here!! So accurate!! Being behind tractors never bothers me!
The infamous "Ope let me sneak right past ya"
Excellent as always!
Thanks! 🥰
🎉 Raising my children in a rural area, The county there was the one thing that you looked forward to all summer.
50 degrees in spring is tee shirt weather
Exactly! 🤣
Until night when the wind gets to blowing
30 degrees after a cold winter is t shirt and shorts weather

I'm from Pittsburgh, PA (So TECHNICALLY "North East" But it's always been "pop" and "suckers"! LOL.
I measure distance by miles. I am from Illinois and was born here.
From Schaumburg IL to Chicago O'Hare International Airport it only 20 minutes away
I have lollipops. I don’t think I have ever heard lollipops referred to as suckers. Except for the toffee candy on a stick that it seems to take you all day to fully consume (all day suckers)
I was born and raised in Will County, and I never heard of padiddle until I watched the movie "Black Dog ",so I thought it was an Eastern game
Sody- not soda, not pop. Tractors, so true! Deer like to commit suicide. 4-H and county fairs. You left out Burgoo!!!! Small Town parades with horses floats and tractors along with a high school marching band. Good video ☺️
Thanks! What is Burgoo, and in what area is it found?

That's not that far from where I'm from. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it before.
Marching bands that featured the instrumental song “The Horse” originally done by Cliff Nobles. 😎
@@leannesmith3660 Sounds like road kill stew.

It's "a ways away" anyways you guys!
I will say there are some states i consiter calling part of the eastern midwest.. ky (i know there the south)
I've always understood a sucker to be the flat candy on a stick and a lollipop was a ball shaped one with chocolate inside. Maybe that's a Chicago thing? (Full disclosure: I've lived half my life on the West Coast, too.)
I always understood a sucker to be a naive, easily swindled person. As PT Barnum said “There’s one born every minute.” 😕
I have seen All Day Suckers which were a taffy like candy on a stick and it took you a long time to consume one. Hence the name All Day Sucker.
The ball shaped candy with the chocolate inside is the Tootsie Roll Pop. There are lollipops that are ball shaped but are just solid hard candy
The deer kamakaze is real
Where I'm at it's known as a cheese toastie not grilled cheese
I grew up calling it toasted cheese.

I'm not usually a fan of soup, but that recipe sounds even less palatable than most.

Minnesota and Pennsylvania are brother and sister
Fall is football
I call it soda or Pepsi,,,not from the mid west tho
I would rather swim in a lake, not the ocean, sharks live in the ocean
What about lake sharks?
