9 Reasons Why People From Wisconsin Are Unbelievably Tough

Wisconsinites are tough. It’s in our genes, and it’s a product of where we live. Our teenage girls can jump-start cars and our grandmas brave negative temperatures to attend Packers games. Maybe all the beer gives us the courage. But anyway, here are nine reasons why people from Wisconsin are the toughest:

1. We deal with subzero temperatures. All the time.

2. We do tough jobs

5. We've got farming genes

Our state has faced tough times politically that have strained our unity--but at heart, we are all Wisconsinites.

Why else are Wisconsinites tough? Let us know in the comments.
