Illinois is a completely normal state. I'm serious I live in a town called normal, Illinois

[@mattless5869]

Go Redbirds baby

[@junipersloane3944]

I always thought Bloomington and Normal were the same town when I'd see the signs on I-90. I live out by Seattle now and the lack of Bears fans and merch pisses me off.

[@olezelin7710]

[@intreoo]

The US is a *very* diverse country. If you compare a state like New Hampshire to a state like Wisconsin it’ll seem like you’re visiting a different country.

Nate Price I'm about 35 mins north of ypsi and I busted out laughing when they tried to pronounce it

[@tmsw22]

Sxcred Let's be real, we just call it Ypsi!

[@an_impasse]

Mate, it's not common for 'y' used as a vowel pronounced as 'yi'. It's normal to think it's pronounced either as the 'y' consonant or 'ih' - a short, sharp vowel sound. It's not a frequent Anglophone pronounciation.

[@cephalomainia]

Sxcred I know rite!

I live in Michigan and I knew them all

[@ggdanceit]

I live in Wisconsin. If I knew the town I could pronounce it fine, and if I had never heard of it, my guess was right

[@avawilson3421]

Same -_-

[@jadenmccallum17]

Gracie _ It's like we're born with the knowledge of midwestern pronunciation.

[@elleb3496]

[@EthanBoBethan]

Oh my God I thought I would never find this comment

[@handfulmousefly]

Being from the Midwest, hearing "menomonie" and then having one of them breaking out into "manamana" cracked me up big time. That's EXACTLY what I think of.

[@sydneyfelix6485]

[@ToastyDoasty]

Mackinac City and Island are the 2 greatest tourist attractions if you want some beautiful flowers and some Mackinac Island Fudge

[@alliehamilton2395]

People saying Mackinac makes me cringe

[@alyssahalene]

Mackinac island is such a fun place to drive up to

[@lindadavis6876]

I cringed as well.

[@MrHoodie]

+Xxx Alyssa xxX You can't drive to mackinac...it's an island....

[@alyssahalene]

[@larencurry5230]

When you've been to all of them and are genuinly triggered

[@PupCake1025]

"Cold" You weren't in Minnesota on the Fourth of July a few years back, were you. (Aka the time I almost passed out because nobody thought to give the people on the float some water or something during the 2 hour parade in 104 degree heat)

[@TheSnowmenKing]

Well you don't have that almost every day of late June through early august every year

[@madisonlafave7997]

PupCake1025 It's June and where I live it's 59 degrees. During the summer Minnesota can get really hot, but in the winter it can go really cold.

[@rosegleek4330]

PupCake1025 Doesn't mean you didn't have -30 degree windchills this winter!!!

[@redhead42098]

PupCake1025 the midwest sucks because the winters are cold as hell but the summers can be just as hot as southern states, plus it gets humid really easily.

[@kyeoptawerk93ah]

I think people forget that the Midwest actually experiences ALL 4 seasons unlike the rest of the states who experience like what 2 seasons? We aren't just cold 365 haha

[@hawkgirl5669]

Shout out to all my Michiganders!!💛💙

[@RachelWadsworth]

Hawk Girl GO BLUE!

[@MoogieTheCow]

U OF M FOR LIFE

[@nataliastutz1683]

Go green

[@nataliastutz1683]

But blue is good too

[@keegan6356]

Yikes... go green

[@johnwcyne8847]

You guys enjoy your 2 seasons hot and hotter. Average fall temp here in fall during football season is 65

[@BadgerCheese94]

Sam Wilson I cant wait for fall ;) Let's be honest though, 65 is more like mid-September. Around here the highs around 49 beginning in late October and snows can happen from then through April. But I love it cold anyway!

[@flykope9211]

cracks my chicagoin knuckles "IM ON IT"

[@lizizhappy2185]

Just realized... they pronounced Ypsilanti wrong AND put it in the wrong location. We're not at the very bottom of Michigan, guys, we're closer to Detroit at the base of the thumb. (I live in Ypsilanti)

[@alexthepotato]

I live in Ypsilanti too and I was like NOO WHAT?!?

[@faithvan6831]

+Alexis Albright I live right by Yspi and I had the same exact reaction!!!!

[@BangBam1]

I was just thinking that, I had to pause and was confused lol

[@PocketyDemon]

+LizIzHappy Yep. They totally pronounced it wrong. It's "Ip si lan tea" Not "Yip si lant tea"

[@MrJackMoen]

I live in Waukegan!! Sorry the Midwest is never portrayed anywhere so I got excited

[@uligee774]

Yeah im in waukegan too! Near ben diamond park!

[@MrJackMoen]

Bro my mom just moved in on South near Lewis Ave

[@pepally4181]

Ay! Waukegan represent!!

[@rachelupson521]

Ikr until football season everyone forgets about Wisconsin and they even forget about us then sometimes

[@lexchamp]

You're right. As soon as I saw an Illinois city I was super excited!

[@HH-lr2zt]

When you're from Indiana and get them all right...

[@rebekahvomas4754]

Waukegan, IL. Its weird hearing people talk about somewhere thats about 30 minutes away from me 😂
