9 Undeniable Things You’ll Find In Every Buffalo Home
Buffalonians are known for several things. Our willingness to go above and beyond for our neighbors, the fact that we can survive some of the harshest winters in the Northeast, and the unconditional love we have for our sports teams. While these characteristics have the potential to give us away, stepping inside anyone’s house in the 716 provides concrete evidence that they are, in fact, a Buffalo native. You might be a Buffalonian if… you can find these 9 things in your home at any given time.
We eat this stuff for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Some of us even sprinkle it on our cocktails (bloody mary, anyone?). It's no surprise that Frank's is a staple item in every Buffalo home.
If you're welcomed into a Buffalonian's home without being offered a pop, have you even been welcomed at all? Cans or bottles, the fizzy stuff is always on-hand in our homes.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a garage, shed, or backyard in Buffalo that doesn't have a Kan-Jam set. The backyard game is basically a way of life around here!
Buffalonians take any chance we can to show our Buffalove. Our homes are no exception to the rule! Every Buffalo home has at least one 716-themed decor item.
Whether you use a Keurig or an old-school coffee maker, Tim Horton's coffee grounds are typically on hand in every Buffalo home for a much-needed caffeine fix.
We bleed blue and gold. Red and blue. Orange and black. And any other color our sports teams happen to wear during the season. Whether it be in the form of New Era caps, Zubaz pants, 26 Shirts, or authentic apparel, you'll find it in the closets of every Buffalo home.
Buffalonians love our local brewery scene, and it shows in our fridges! We stay stocked up on local brews and spirits, from IPAs to locally-distilled gins and everything in-between.
You're not a true Buffalonian if you don't have a package of Sahlen's hot dogs on hand at all times. Keep them in the fridge during the summer months or in the freezer for when the craving hits in the winter. No Buffalo home would be complete without this Western New York staple item!
If you live in Buffalo and don't have a bag of this in your garage or near your front door, you probably haven't ever learned the tough lesson of wiping out on a slippery sidewalk! Most Buffalo homes will keep this stuff handy from November straight through April, saving our butts and making shoveling snow just a tiny bit easier.
