Visit Minnesota – 10 Things That Will SHOCK You About Minnesota

43 Comments

1. Minnesota: The state that can't decide what season it wants to be at any given time. (I am a certified Minnesotan to talk about this.)
   – Can get hotter than Georgia.
   – Can get colder than Antarctica.
   – Had a blizzard during April 2019
   – Had a heat wave literally two months after that.
   – Then fall lasted too long.
   – Minnesota can't decide what it wants.

2. He said that Minnesota is safe when the biggest execution was held here

3. I love my state so much

4. As a Minnesotan this is 100% fact

5. We have lights to get on the freeway here in SoCal too. I know it’s a little weird.

6. Would love to visit Minnesota one day. I am from Germany and a huge Vikings / Gophers fan

7. We're used to the cold, but by no means do we love it. Minnesota's known for it's amazing safety (as the video said), hospitals (Mayo Clinic), and just overall togetherness. But people don't come for the snow. That's just the price to live here.

   Any of you wonder why Minnesotans talk about the weather? It's practically unpredictable. We had that polar vortex last winter and we had 11 days off from school, not counting delays or early outs. It got so bad that even teachers were struggling. (The polar vortex actually killed like 22 people in Minnesota, I think)

   What's hysterical is that I don't remember being cold last year, even though it hit the negative 60's with windchill. I just remember a lot of snow. So much snow.

   We just got our first snowfall yesterday actually. And man, was he right about roads clearing up fast. We've got an army of people on snowplows.

8. fun fact you mentioned portable potties…. here in europe the city of minneapolis is mostly known because if you use the stand up part of such a potty you're looking right on the manufacturer's label…. and it seems most of these are made in Minnaepolis 😉

9. You can buy liquor in Minnesota on Sundays. Law was lifted like last year

10. 1. Natural Beauty
    2. Friendly People
    3. Love of MN/UMD
    4. Cleanliness
    5. Safety
    6. Haulers But No Semis
    7. Traffic lights on on-ramps
    8. Snow and cold
    9. No alcohol on Sundays
    10. MN accent

11. I lived in Boise for 3 years. When they got 5" of snow they called it "snowmagetten" and I giggled. Minnesota is great but avoid Duluth jan to march, trust me.

12. I've been to Glensheen a few times before and I love it ?

13. hey we changed sundays you can buy booze now ?

14. Minnesota has far more than 10,000 lakes my friend. All great for fishing. Bring a rod and reel and sit back and enjoy. Then go inside after 5pm because the unofficial state bird begins to flock in vast numbers at that time and will suck you dry of your blood. No kidding!

15. 11 things. Two ads.. gross.

16. Minnesotans aren’t friendly or nice that’s a myth ! There’s a lot of nasty people out there too! The Old people here are just rude and nasty! Minnesota isn’t safe either !

    You aren’t safe here people are cold and nasty !
    Have you seen our winters ?

17. ❤️❤️❤️

18. 30 degrees is shorts and t-shirt no jacket or sweatshirt.
    When people do the Minnesota accent because it is really annoying so please don't do it

19. You fly here from anywhere in the winter you well be shocked how freaking Cold it gets here,be prepared and make sure you dress warm or you well freeze your ass off.

20. North mn isn't that clean. Downtown isn't too

21. I live in Minnesota but I’ve never herd a minasotan accent

22. I already live in Minnesota

23. 11. More than half of the state is corn fields.

24. Time to update this video – you can buy booze on Sundays now.

25. Another fun fact the state capital was actually supposed to be St. Peter MN in Nicollet county but someone stole the documents for it to become official and buried it! Every year at the community center they have a activity to “find the medallion” of Saint Peter and the winner gets a prize varying every year. It’s a nice sized town a little over 12,000 in population I believe with nice restaurants and is 12 miles above Mankato if you follow highway 169. Saint peter also sits right next to the Minnesota river and was originally my home town!

26. I don't leave Minnesota because every place else I've been to is full of litter and assholes.

27. We do honk at each other occasionally, but we have perfected the art of honking nicely.

28. Thx for making or state sound awesome and we are all really nice so please don't be afraid if you need directions, help or just want to talk we are always happy to see new people

29. We call forewheelers and snowmobiles, toys

30. Why I love my home

31. It’s pronounced MINNIE SODA, okay?! Lol jk that’s just my upper Midwest accent speaking.

32. Wait, it’s normal for people to be rude and places to be dirty?! Woahhhhh? I obviously live in mn and I’ve only known people to be friendly and everything to be clean. That’s shocking tbh

33. Born and raised in MN. Thank you for liking the state.

34. Laughed at your comment about hauling, I haul plants home on the bus.

35. You can buy alcohol on Sundays now just so you know

36. You can now buy liquor on Sunday ?

37. Amazing video!

38. Correction. Now you can buy beer on Sundays.

39. The funny thing is even Minnesotan bears are friendly, well mainly the black bears. Just be carful around them because there still a wild animal, especially if they have cubs. Other than that, there pretty friendly and you could pet one if it got close enough.

40. Lol! It used to be like that in Massachusetts years ago. You could not buy liquor on sundays. I actually miss some of them old ways. Sundays were always family days. Nothing would be open.

41. Good thing no one makes these videos from southern Minnesota cuz that area getto
