10 Ways You Can Always Spot Someone From Illinois

Isn’t it great when you are on vacation in the middle of nowhere and find someone from your state? Instantly, you have something in common. But how can you tell someone is from Illinois even before they tell you? Here are ten ways:

1. You'll never see them putting ketchup on a hot dog.

2. They probably refer to a group of people as "yous guys."

3. They miss no opportunity to remind a Packers fan that the Bears are better.

4. They would say this Italian beef sandwich is too dry.

5. They express strong opinions about the change from the Sears Tower to the Willis Tower.

6. They'll cringe if you say "What's it like living in Illinoissssssssss?"

8. They ask why the pizza is so darn thin.

9. They get super annoyed when they tell someone they live in Illinois and the other person asks what it's like living in Chicago.

10. This will definitely be their reaction if you say they have an accent.
