In Minnesota we have a lot of state pride, in fact, more state pride than you can experience in most states. We support our neighbors and our communities and we love to celebrate our accomplishments. However, along with all this state pride, is somewhat of a lack of bragging. A lot of Minnesotans aren’t the type to brag, which is maybe why so few people understand how great this state truly is, and how crucial it is to the country, and even the world. So since you’re all too nice to do it, we’ll do it for you. Here are 47 of the things that only Minnesotans can brag about:
1. Our state fair is unmatched by any other in the county.
10. We're also home to the iconic Mayo Clinic, and Minnesotans have made some of the most important medical breakthroughs of the last century, especially in cardiology.
13. Finally we are home to some of the most creative inventors ever known to the world. This is where our right to brag truly comes into play because aside from all the beauty and magic of the state's land and culture, we carved our place in history by inventing the... Bundt Cake...
