Speaking as a girl from Wisconsin, it annoys us when you call our state West-consin. There is no East-consin. And stop giggling when we say the word bubbler, amirite?

Bubbler...?

A bong.

Sorta. It looks like a Sherlock Holmes pipe, but in the bottom of the bowl piece there's a sort of tube looking thing that goes down to the bottom and into the water. A bong usually has a male piece and a female piece to take a hit, a bubbler usually has a carb.

Oooohhh, ok. :D that's a cute way to say water fountain! ^_^

Haha thanks. The water just kinda bubbles out. So we call it a bubbler. A water fountain is something you throw pennies in.

Its called a bubbler in WI because Kohler Company (based in Sheboygan) made a "water fountain" called the bubbler.

Well, I call it soda but yes, fried cheese curds are pretty much one of the most amazing things on the planet. One more amazing thing about Wisconsin: SUNDROP. :)

wait they dont sell sundrop other places? im from WI and i didnt know that

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No. It's based out of Shawano, WI. (Only a fifteen minute drive from where I live, so Sundrop in glass bottles are frequently available in my household. :) ) If you go into a restaurant outside of Wisconsin and ask for a Sundrop in a bottle, they look at you like you're insane.

It's 2011, I really don't think states have many "special things" anymore. The world is too mixed up to claim so much individuality.

Do you say "y'all" and "yes sir/m'am" to literally everyone over 30?

I will always laugh when I hear the word bubbler.

Hehe... Bubbler...

Yup Im from Wisconsin too. We also say "budging in line" instead of cutting in line, and "stop n' go lights" instead of traffic lights. Milk can sometimes be pronouced either "milk or melk" Tailgating means grilling out behind your car before a football or baseball game, and depending on what part of the state your from, aunt can be pronounced as "ant or aw-nt" These may be true for other parts of the country too, Im not sure. Oh and for those that are wondering, cow tipping is physically impossible to do.
