Here Are 12 Signs You've Spent Way Too Much Time In Iowa

If you grew up in a town with as many churches as there were houses or bars, you’re probably from Iowa. If deer season is treated as a national holiday back home, you’re probably from Iowa. If you drink “pop,” go “into town,” or fish in a “crick,” you’re probably from Iowa. Still not sure? Here are 12 more signs you’re from Iowa, or have spent way too much time here:

1. You've met more presidential candidates than you can remember, but almost no celebrities.

2. You know the difference between field corn and the corn you eat.

3. Your idea of a traffic jam is a line of cars stuck behind a slow-moving tractor.

4. Your perfect breakfast in bed is Casey's breakfast pizza.

5. 50 degree weather in March means shorts season.

6. You know what's supposed to be knee high by Fourth of July.

7. You know that brats are something you eat.

9. The only three seasonings you use are salt, pepper, and ranch.

10. Your idea of a vacation is a day at Adventureland.

11. And you know the answer to: "Is this heaven?"

12. People from out of state always tell you that you're too nice.

Of course, none of these are bad things. In fact, we’re proud to be guilty of every single one of these. There’s no better place to spend too much time than Iowa.
