7 Things That Seem Weird if you Aren’t From Idaho

To us, playing on the blue is a way of life. Boise State is world famous for Albertsons Stadium's blue turf. Trying to explain this to a green-turfer (we just made that term up for anyone who's football team plays on boring old green grass) can be a long endeavor.

New York City can keep their big stupid ball. We're Idaho, we drop a giant potato on New Years Eve! Seriously, find someone who doesn't laugh when you tell them that.

Seriously, what are you doing with your life if you don't dip your pizza in ranch dressing? Any proper Idaho pizzeria will offer a side of ranch with your 'za.

You can't escape it. Drive a few miles outside of Boise and you're bound to spot a truck that you can literally walk under.

Talking to a person you're not familiar with can be difficult, but not for us Idahoans. We love to make a friend out of a stranger! There's a reason they say the people from Boise are friendly. We truly are. It's contagious.

If it's Freak Alley, Table Rock, or Bogus Basin, we love to take photos of our gorgeous state. Most Instagram accounts stay pretty bland, but you know you're seeing some of the best scenery America has to offer with an Idaho Insta account.

Idaho is ranked as one of the most giving states in the country when it comes to giving to charity and volunteering. We love our state, want to take care of her, and all the people who live here.
