I grew up in Wisconsin, but have live in AZ for the past 20+ years. One of my friends sent this and I thought that some of you would enjoy it. Take care and God bless.

A big BUMP for the cheeseheads!

Don't forget the long, green "Escape to Wisconsin" bumper-stickers.

And ya gotta love the sailing farmers license plates.

I wonder where the pop/soda line really is. I know if you ask someone in western and northern Wisconsin for another name for soft drink, the correct answer will POP into their heads.

GREEN BAY PACKER MNF BUMP.

Might also fit the UP. One community I've visited in the Upper Peninsula (east of Ashland, WI.,)is home to the Turdy Below Liquor Store...

[Incorrigible]

Bump for a laugh.

[WIMom]

Oh, how true! Thanks for the laugh! We do refer to the Packers as 'we'......

[Fiddlstix]

Bump

[riri]

I grew up using the term soda in upstate new York (still do here in Arizona, hence my small children do). I cringe when I hear people say POP.

[DManA]

Wanna come with?

That sounds completely natural to my MN ears.

[trad_anglican]

You know the difference between up by and down by.

You know what a cheesehead does with a sheepshead.

[d14truth]

You can give me a 'soda', but never a 'pop'(bottle of pop or can of pop, maybe)--south central WI native.
