You might be a “Southie” if...

Northern Southies might drink sweet tea, but Southern Southies such as myself drink it straight.

The funny thing is that I have some friends from Texas, and my dad was born in Lousiana, and all of them hate sweet tea! So yeah, it might be a thing...

Sugar or Tea?

Both, but separate.

I honestly never even heard of sweet tea until my first trip back to WV. I learned pretty quick to order it ‘unsweet’. Those poor waitresses always looked so confused.

That was the same trip that I went to McD’s & ordered an egg McMuffin with no meat on it. It took two employees, the manager & one very embarrassing announcement over the loudspeaker to get my breakfast. My BIL was ready to crawl into a hole & die.

@duluthralphie , LOVE your humor!! I'm a Wisconsinite and hardy as hell!! When it's 40'F my kids won't wear coats, one year my son went to school in shorts all year long. That's Wisconsin!! You betchya!

Me too. To all of it. You betcha! I have friends from down south that always call me Sarah palin because of my “accent” but really it is them with the funny accent and not me! Hey?!

I know. I know. But I think the map is a little wrong because my friends and family from Tennessee and south of that are relentless teasing me about my “yankee ways” and “northern accent”... so I’m not so convinced map makers hit the nail on the head with that one. Just say the word “tavern” or (Wisconsin specific) “bubbler” down south of the Indiana state line and you’ll find out fast, us Wisconsinites are widely viewed as northerners. I’m cool with either label to be honest. Both have their own endearing qualities. One thing is for damn certain though, I’d sooner eat dirt than greens or okra. Or some of the stuff my Tennessee born and raised grandmother ate, for example, gizzards and opossum stew. No. Thank. You. I’ll take a slice of corn bread but pass on the rest from the southern menu. I like cheese and corn. So I do think I am definitely leaning more towards the “yankee side” of life as my Deep-South residing uncle says.
