8 Undying Habits That Prove You Can Never Take Detroit Out Of The Detroiter
We Detroiters have our own habits that no one will truly understand. They might seem weird to out-of-towners, but we aren’t ashamed of what we do! From throwing octopus at hockey games to drinking Vernor’s to cure our colds, these are eight undying habits we Detroiters have that we will always defend.

Vernor's Ginger Ale is used by a number of people to cure stomachaches, hangovers, and even the common cold. We don't care how crazy this sounds; it isn't stopping Detroiters from drinking it to cure just about anything.

No matter how good or bad the Detroit Lions are doing, we will support them until we die and we will continue to paint our faces blue to show how much we love our home team.

This might be one of the most common questions a Detroiter will hear from outsiders. No, we don't all know Eminem, and no we do not all live on or near 8-mile; however, we do like the rapper and we're proud so say he's from the Motor City.
