Milwaukee is a unique city, and people that are from here have some pretty strange habits. Whether you hear someone using a language you've never heard of or making strange comments about their cheese, you'll know you're in Milwaukee. Here are seven things only a Milwaukeean will do, and they're just plain weird.
1. Every summer we watch sausages race around a baseball field.
No Brewers game would be complete without the racing sausages. You better believe a Milwaukeean will turn to their neighbor and bet on the race too!
2. We use words you’ve never even heard of.
It's like Milwaukeean's have a whole language of their own. What's a bubbler? Where's "up north"? A tyme machine? Huh?
3. We make sure our cheese squeaks.
If it doesn't squeak, it's not a real cheese curd.
4. We hang out with The Bronze Fonz.
The Fonz from Happy Days is alive and well on Milwaukee's RiverWalk... in bronze statue form, that is. You'll often find a Milwaukeean hanging out with the Fonz, and we still snap selfies with him, even though we probably already have hundreds.
5. We'll drink PBR like other beer doesn’t exist.
Milwaukee is full of great breweries and we can't love every single one, yet somehow we never turn away from a good ole' PBR, and you'll find a special deal on it at just about every bar in town.
6. Milwaukeeans laugh in the face of bad weather.
Snow doesn't scare us. We're pros at driving in 10 inches of it!
7. In fact, they’ll probably be wearing shorts.
You can always spot a Milwaukeean by their confusing winter attire.
Those were just seven weird things Milwaukeeans do, what else is something extremely weird that you might see in MKE? Let us know in the comments!
