When you get down to it, what are the REAL differences between Minnesota and Wisconsin? They’re practically interchangeable! ~

One has more cheese. One became the location of the school of Frank Lloyd Wright. One is also the nations'  leader in growing ginseng. One does not have Jesse Ventura and Al Franken. 

One has a real football team. The other has the Vikings. 

One can claim amazing people like Harry Houdini, the Ringling Brothers (by choice rather than birth), Orson Welles, Frank Lloyd Wright, Chris Farley, Steve Miller, the Violent Femmes, Bon Iver, and Just Asking. The other got Jesse Ventura. 

One is internationally known for having the best cheese, has the country's largest water park, produces more cranberries than all other states combined, and apparently produces more ginseng than all other states combined. The other got Al Franken.
