25+ Midwest Memes for Nice Folks Who Say Ope (May 31, 2024)

I’m convinced that midwesterners know how to take advantage of good weather better than anyone else. We’re so conditioned for misery, that even a single shred of sunlight calls for a parade. In the Midwest, you get used to long stretches of cold, wet, horribleness. It becomes your time to self-reflect, go inward, and not …

‘One thing they show on TV about America that is actually real’: British eaters wholesomely praise US diner culture

There are few arguments on the internet that are more fiercely fought than the US vs. UK food wars. More often than not, it seems like we just can’t wrap our heads around the dubious delights of one another’s cuisines. This makes it all the more special when we put down the Red 40 and …

Midwest snacks are top-tier. Whether you call them muddy buddies, puppy chow, or some secret third thing, those little Chex pieces covered in chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar… those hit hard. Especially if they’re lingering around at a church potluck. Something about the setting. Dots Pretzels are another Midwest-born and bred hit. Though they might seem …

35+ Hot Dog Memes Served With Ketchup and Mustard

The hotdog is perhaps the most quintessentially American food we have. Yes, it’s just a weird approximation of a Western Europe sausage situation, but its over-processed and readily-available nature renders it as American as the stars and stripes.  There’s nothing quite like a good glizzy in the summertime. They’re a staple of Fourth of July barbecues, pool …

Midwesterners have a reputation for being some of the nicest people in the world. I may be biased, but I think there’s a lot of truth to it. We’re not plagued by coastal elitism, we drive friendly, and niceness is not usually a thin veil concealing an ulterior motive. Midwesterners usually tell it like it is. The flatness of the region makes us calm, …

One of the best things about the Midwest is its commitment to dairy. In other parts of the world (cough cough the coasts), diary-free options run amok, with oat and almond ruling the average coffee order. And I’m all for that for them. For some, it’s easier on the stomach, and I have nothing but ears for those people. …

Spring in the Midwest is a total grab-bag of sensations. One day it might be 70 and sunny and everyone you know especially your Uncle Terry is wearing shorts, firing up the grill, and getting a game of bags going. The next, though, it might hit the low 40s and you’re wondering where you put your wool scarf. It’s seasonal and emotional whiplash. But it’s …

25+ Olive Garden Memes That Will Fill up on Unlimited Breadsticks

Dinner at the Olive Garden is a quintessential American experience. It’s the same everywhere, and I think that’s beautiful. It’s always the same rustic, dated Italian decor, the same long wait for a table, and the same ecstatic delight when the first hot breadstick hits your mouth. Whether you’re in Pacoima or Philadelphia, when you’re …

Cheese curds are a singular delicacy so delicious I’ll forgive them for being a product of Wisconsin. Hey, I can’t help it I had a really annoying art teacher in middle school who was a huge Packers fan so now I have a negative association with all things Cheese Head. Except for the cheese itself, …

‘They don’t serve you enough water in Europe’: Americans develop strange belief that Europe ‘makes you dehydrated’

Americans are obsessed with water. Between Stanley cups, and bottle filling stations, to that bottle that holds scent cartridges that make your water smell good… we’re always getting nifty with our H20. And for good reason! Water is essential to not only survive but thrive. But does that apply when we’re abroad? Apparently not, according …
