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.
No it doesn’t cornhole means a game using bean bags and two boards propped up.

I'm from Nebraska, we just badly want it to be our thing since we have nothing else.
The name is horrific. We always called it bean bag toss in Northern Ohio. I was in my 30's before I herd it called "cornhole."
Considering that the American Cornhole Championships are held in Alabama this year, and there are competitors from all around the world, I wouldn't call it a midwestern thing.
If the cornhole championships are held in Alabama, are siblings allowed to compete together?

I don't know the (translated) name, but I even played this in my youth in The Netherlands!
Just. Say. Beanbag toss. (jk Cornhole is way more fun) (also my computer automatically capitalized Cornhole :D)
I live in NC, we play here. I visited my friend in Colorado, they play it there too. I visited my husband in Morocco. They play there too.
Yes, I lived in NC too and we played it a lot. It's down in Florida too.

This is def a midwestern thing! I've lived in Louisiana and Florida for most of my life and had never even heard of cornhole until I went to Inidiana.
That's actually interesting. I lived in North Carolina and now Florida and I've seen it plenty of times. Especially in North Carolina, it was at many public gatherings, and even in the two years I've lives in Florida I've seen it at school games and the July 4 festival and other people's houses in general.

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.
