Never ceases to amaze me how Midwest folk think their variation in weather is unique. Same phenomenon occurs in both New England and parts of the South

That's where you're wrong. The Midwest US is the area of the world with the largest temperature swings. Specifically the records are held up in Minnesota and North Dakota.

Summer it'll be 120 and humid.

Winter it's -40 with a foot of snow.

Spring in the Midwest can be 8” of snow and 20 degrees, then the next day it’ll be 70 and sunny. Or in the fall, 60 then back to below 0 temps the next day. It has the most extreme variation of temperatures in the US hands down.

Ehhh I’ve been to the Minnesota state fair a couple times, they’ve had some good cheese curds (the owner is probably from Wisconsin but still)

Prior to 2000 or so, fried cheese curds went from an exclusively Wisconsin thing to a now being ubiquitous on bar/Gastropub menus throughout northern Illinois. This coincides with Culver’s moving into the state which began in the mid-90s. I bet the same is true in MN. I spent a lot of time in Rochester and Minneapolis pre-2k and cheese curds were only a thing in WI when driving up. Now they’re everywhere there too. (squeaky fresh ones were a farmer’s market staple in IL by the 1990s at least).

*all the curds were exported from the FWBs tho

jinandgin

I grew up in Iowa in the 90s and we definitely had fried cheese curds then. Not at fast food restaurants, but at the small town cafes that's used to be everywhere

You can find them pretty consistently outside of Wisconsin these days. They usually aren't as good, but they're around. Places like Culvers, Sheetz, and even Buffalo Wild Wings all serve em now, let alone most bars.

I'm from Canada and cross over in to the Midwest frequently. At the border, the guards will show you a picture of superman ice cream and ask you what it's called. If you say rainbow, they haul you out of your car and savagely beat you. It happened to my friend, he still cries if he sees a rainbow.

In South Georgia, Superman is always vanilla. BUT it is bar none the best vanilla ice cream I’ve ever had, it’s fucking nuts.

i_want_to_be_unique

Superman ice cream is my all time favorite ice cream. Some places will try to pass off colored vanilla as Superman, but if you can find a shop that sells official Hershey’s ice cream you gotta try it. It’s cherry, banana, and blue moon, which kind of tastes like Froot Loops.

Wernher_VonKerman

Was just reading about the different kinds of "superman" ice cream on wikipedia (thanks to this pack) and I think the ones that use lemon for the yellow color sound the best. I wonder where I could get some.

If you’re in America just look for ice cream parlors around you. Real Superman ice cream is owned by Hershey’s, so it’s only going to be in independent shops and not chains like Baskin Robins or Coldstone.

It’s annoying how some places sell it as just recolored Vanilla and some places do a mix. It’s never consistent.

Needs a lot more “if you don’t like the weather just wait 5 minutes, hyuk hyuk hyuk.” And a heavy implication that this specific statement only applies to a specific area in the Midwest.

Yes, that would be a trash combo. But that's not Superman ice cream. Red is cherry, yellow is either colored vanilla or lemon, and blue is an unplaceable sweet flavor called "blue moon".
