Ohio people are the best people. Sure, we can’t drive in the winter and like our chili served on top of spaghetti, but there’s more to people from Ohio than just a few qualities and quirks. There are deep-rooted parts of our culture that we’re immensely proud of, even if the Bengals have still never won a Super Bowl. These things are hills every Ohioan is willing to die on, and we bet you’ll find yourself shaking your head in agreement as you read along!
Chili is best served on top of spaghetti, Cincinnati-style.

We’ll admit it: we can’t drive in the snow. Or ice. Or sometimes, even rain.

Speaking of weather, fall is our favorite.

Every September, all Ohioans are German for a weekend of polka dancing and bratwursts and beer!

We will always, always hold out hope that the Bengals will win a Super Bowl.

While we may be completely split in our allegiance between the Bengals and the Browns, one thing we all agree on is that OSU reigns supreme, and Michigan is the worst.

We have a lot of pride here in the Buckeye State, and maybe we’re a bit stubborn at times, but these are hills every Ohioan is willing to die on — and happily, if it’s a hill of cheddar cheese atop a 3-Way.
