This Girl Perfectly Sums Up What Living In American Midwest Feels Like In 14 Hilarious Tweets
Midwest is definitely a region like no other. Also known as the Heartland of America, Midwest is notorious for its extremely hot summers and bone-chilling winters. However, there's so much more to know about this corn loving region. Fortunately, Twitter user mackenziem317 created a list of things that describe life in Midwest the best and it's quite hilarious.
Scroll below to see if you relate to any of these things!

Ranch + pizza = match made in heaven Thought this was a West Coast thing because I have never seen it in New England and didn't have it until I moved to California. For those who are thinking "Ewww", don't knock it 'till you've tried it especially with homemade ranch dressing (not knocking Hidden Valley, but the fresh made stuff is way better.)
AKA "Walking Tacos" - most commonly eaten with Nacho Cheese Doritos. Just had some last week - in Iowa!
Most of the southern U.S.experiences this as well, particularly Florida. In fact, any coastal region anywhere.
And Irish weather. Reminds me of this great song by Creedence Clearwater Revival https://youtu.be/Gu2pVPWGYMQ

This also applies to most of the world... Lol I love how everyone thinks the weather is so unique to where they live... Weather fluctuates often in the majority of the world. It's where the weather DOESN'T fluctuate that it's uncommon
So.... Korea? The weather here is more stable and more predictable than by the Adriatic Sea in Europe....

Monday- Freezing and snowing... Tuesday- Sunny and warm (remind me that it's winter too) Wednesday- Chilly/no snow Thursday- Thunderstorms/Lightning/OOF Friday- Sunny/Cold Saturday- SO COLD OUT! MY NOSTRILS MADE A HOME FOR FROSTY! THEY'RE BUILDING ICICLES! Sunday- The nicest day of the week... all sunny and warm... Hey! Thanks for reminding us that tomorrow's Monday!
Uh hello? Go to Texas for a day, and you'll get all 4 seasons in basically an hour
Try living in Australia, you think it's a nice sunny day then all of a sudden there's a storm. There won't even be any clouds beforehand.
I've seen that in Texas too. Also raining mud because of all the dust.
This is literally The Netherlands! Almost all year! Though this year we are now in the middle of a few hot weeks without any rain. But normally, this is The Netherlands everyday except for winter.
According to one set of metrics, the states with most unpredictability are North Dakota, South Dakota and about 2/3rds of Minnesota (my home state). https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/which-city-has-the-most-unpredictable-weather/
I meant US states, obviously. I don't know any US area compares to other countries/areas. Didn't google that.

Popular saying: " if you don't like the weather in Wyoming, wait five minutes and it will be different"
It's not uncommon where I live to go from say, 32 to 75 or 95 to 60 in just a few hours!
One time the meterologist actually said to pick your weather and head to it and all in the same state. hot, cold, rainy, windy. windy/rainy/cold.
Ok, nobody will understand this and they will fight about it that it happens everywhere, but let me tell you NO IT DOES NOT HAPPEN THE WAY IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDWEST, I actually have family members that are afraid of the weather in my state because it a gets so crazy!!!!
Old saying: If you don't like the weather in Chicago, wait five minutes.
Especially Wisconsin cheese curds. As a Wisco girl, I can say that if you go to a restaurant out of the state and they don't advertise they are Wisconsin Cheese Curds they won't be as good.... Heck, the Ellsworth Cheese Curd Festival was just last weekend!
Uhhh...? I don't think this gal gets around to other parts of the country very often (if at all). She probably didn't do her research either before posting about things that she feels are very specific to the midwest. I'm in the south and this relates to us as well.
Well she looks like she might be in high school, so I doubt she is very well traveled.

I noticed quite a few which are also common in The Netherlands.

Grew up in the midwest. Every one of these things are absolutely spot on. One more. Mumbling.
And one more after that, being wishy-washy. If you're from the midwest you'll know what that means.

I was visiting my Aunt in PA when I was little and she asked me if I wanted "pop". I thought she meant my grandfather, who I called PopPop, and I was very confused when she handed me a can of soda.

Most all of this applies to country living, I think, as I live in new England and its muggy as hell out, 😁
I'm from eastern Canada, and honestly most of the things in this list applied to me as well... I get the hunch she doesn't travel very much...
I thought taco pizza was an Oregon thing, never heard of it till we moved here from California and had it at Abby's.
Very much like the South. Hi snow cousins! But we have cheese straws instead of cheese curds.
I think she's from West Virginia. I've seen or had most of these things since childhood.
Just goes to show how much we all have in common with people all over the world!!! :) I had to laugh though, just because I've lived in the Midwest my whole life, but I've also traveled to a lot of different places too
She forgot waving to passing cars/walkers or waving on a car to go first at an intersection... even if you don't have the right of way at a 4 way stop it seems like one of the other cars will wave you to go first. Or even waving at the car that let you merge into the lane as a way to say "thanks pal."
down arrowed. Most of these things aren't just a Midwest thing. Corn, cheese, and potatoes are the only thing that comes to mind to me when I think of Midwest.
