If you’ve been outside of Maine, you’ve no doubt been asked a lot of questions about where you’re from. From confusion over the weather we’ve chosen to live with to the way we speak, it seems the rest of the country has quite a few questions about life in Vacationland. Good thing we love to talk about Maine! Here are some of the funniest questions it seems the rest of America has for us.

Yep! Patrick Dempsey grew up in Lewiston and still does a lot to support the community! Lewiston is where The Dempsey Challenge takes place.

It's Maine's most famous drink! Once used medicinally, it's now synonymous with the old days in Maine. Although, you can find it in just about any grocery store here.

Have you ever heard of mud season? Most of us are actually pretty glad when the snow covers up all the pot holes and ditches in the roads from the rain and ice of last year.
No way! Snow just means a more annoying commute. If we look outside and see this, we set the alarm and know we're waking up for work.
That's easy! It's when all our moms get together to hear about the things we've done wrong in school for the past 6 months. Most kids dread bean suppers!
Yes. It's just a special kind of English that includes dropping our "r" sounds and agreeing with a simple "ayuh!"
