Michigan and Wisconsin are fighting over who gets to call themselves the “Mitten State.” If you’ve ever met someone from Wisconsin or (lower) Michigan they explain where they are from by holding up their hand like a mitten and pointing at the part of the mitten where they are from. This is fine, even if the Michiganders always ignore the U.P., which they perceive to be a resource colony populated by felons.
Anyway, you’ll note that Minnesota is a Pac-Man eating Wisconsin. I am from the part of Pac-Man that is pointing at Michigan as if to say, “You’re next!”
Some are not convinced that the U.P actually exists:
