Synopsis:
Many worry that these United States are becoming to much like each other -- but Minnesotans know differently. Fun for all ages, this trivia-cum-brag-book highlights and celebrates the North Star State''s different traditions, fashions, cuisine, and history with humor.
For example, you''ll know you''re in Minnesota when...
>You drink your coffee light and often
>You know buy alcohol from an onsale or an offsale
>The mosquito is the real state bird
>You know the sport ringette
>You can jump from one bank of the Mississippi River to the other
>Supporting the Green Bay Packers is treason
>Lefse is a holiday staple
>You bowl with a frozen turkey
>Betty Crocker is a considered a local
>Sweatshirts are the unofficial uniform
