18 Things Every True Ohioan Has Done—At Least Once
There are some undeniable things that make us all true Ohioans. Whether it’s simply eating a food that’s specifically Ohio made or religiously attending certain events once a year, it’s the commonality we share that sets us apart from the other states. (The less cooler states, of course.)
1) You have owned something Buckeye related at one point or another. (Even if it was just the candy kind.)
8) Informed foreigners about all the important people who have came out of Ohio such as astronauts and presidents whenever someone (ignorantly) claims that nothing cool comes out of Ohio.
10) Drove to IHOP/Steak N’ Shake/Waffle House/any restaurant open 24 hours at an unreasonably late hour to eat with your friends just because it’s something to do and you only live once and food is great and so are your friends so why the heck not.
17) Also, you’ve been to Cedar Point at least once and can attest to the fact that no other amusement park really compares when it comes to roller coasters.
