Proper Midwest parents design the Halloween costumes to fit over the snowsuit
"It teaches us to lower our expectations” 10000% truth
I felt that one in my soul.
Ha ha ha
The puke bucket brought back so many memories! 😂
Same. I now have one for my kids. But….i don’t use it for food. I just can’t anymore.
It was always a pot. Next day pasta was in it. Good lord.
My mom never reused them for food but she did use washed ice cream buckets, the ones with the handle. She would wash them and save them for any time somebody got sick.
Your parents must have been nice. I got a pillow and blanket on the bathroom floor.
We don't call them "hot dishes" here in my part of Iowa. We call them "casseroles."
I am from southwest Wisconsin, and I agree! Hot dishes are made on top of the stove. Casseroles, like the tater tot casserole, are baked in the oven.
Same in Michigan!
Same from Northeastern Wisconsin, but I have heard both
Yeah well Iowa is full of dumb people (my cousins, mostly) who don’t know what they’re talking about. 😆
-Minnesota gang
Same in Texas
My husband was excited to see a Sweet Martha's cookie container in the fridge, only to be massively let down when he discovered left-over broccoli in it. 😀
It do be like that
The biggest disappointment!
That infamous, blue tin that claims it holds Danish butter cookies. We all know it’s a sewing kit!
That’s a dirty trick 🤭
@icarubinns, you are cracking me up! 🤣🤣🤣 I have had one of those sewing tins for decades 😁
Growing up, the cool whip containers were in the garage on the tool bench holding random nuts, bolts, screws, and reused nails
I was going to comment that we keep fish bait in them but maybe that's going too far 🤷♂ 😄
Cool Whip containers were too valuable to us for that - for random hardware we used Folgers Coffee cans.
@@mirrorblue100 That's a core memory for sure! Even in our Lumber Co. miscellaneous hardware was sitting in rusty Folgers Cans ☺
I was born in south Alabama. If you think the butter container has butter in it, you’re wrong virtually every single time.
Same in South Carolina 🤣
Western New York is where the Midwest starts Buffalo New York Rochester the surrounding areas this is where the Midwest starts
My mom always brings me food or sends me home with leftovers in butter containers lol
The butter cookie tin is a lie. Universal law. Why is it in the pantry, despite being filled with sewing notions? No one knows.
Butter containers are for cranberry sauce after Thanksgiving. Everyone knows that.
Roller skating in the basement was definitely one of my favorite memories of my 80s midwest childhood!❤️
In the ‘70s I was an Olympic roller skating champ in my sort-of-finished basement.
1000% agree, a Midwest childhood is the best childhood!!!
the best. Malta, Illinois
And then we all move to actual good places to live like cali or florida 🤣
Midwest childhood BEFORE cell phones, social media, internet even is what it's all about. 80s and 90s FTW!
ok boomer lol
My mom always made my costume so my winter jacket could fit underneath it. The 91 blizzard was the only time I wore my coat over my costume. My dad and I went home 4 times for more clothes. I started the night in a hoodie and jeans and ended it in boots, snowpants, winter jacket, 2 sweat shirts, stocking cap, and mittens. Still my most favorite haloween ever. Plus, school was canceled the next day, which made it super amazing.
1. It's a casserole
2. They're scotcheroos
I'd fight to the death over the first one.
Ditto!
I thought "hot dish" was from the South.
1. 100% a casserole. I'll watch your back, homie.
2. Peanut Butter Krispies 'round these parts.
I never had scotcheroos or whatever they’re called… growing up diabetic was kinda rough
We always threw up into the left over ice cream buckets lol, and showering in the unfinished basement!
Last month I was given Snickers salad in a Cool Whip container to take home from a get-together. Gotta love Wisconsin grandmas. The "salad" table at potlucks is always half-filled with sweet things chopped up and mixed with Cool Whip.
BLIZZARD OF 91 GANG
Yup😊 That was the last year I went trick er treating! Trekked through the snow down the block and then back home 😊
YO.
I am from Wisconsin and I approve this message!
If I could give this 1,000 👍 I would (although frugal family from Ohio)
As someone born and raised in Wisconsin - this is 100% correct.
We had an unfinished basement and would roller skate all day long - steel skates with leather straps, concrete floors, steel support poles, ping pong table, workbench, thick 2x4 wooden shelves, etc., it is a wonder any of us survived. Then my parents got it 3/4 finished (1/4 was unfinished backroom with W&D, cast iron sink, work bench, water softener, half finished toilet and shower), carpet without padding, fake wood paneling, 2x4 fiberglass ceiling tiles, can lights, and pool table. Hide and seek became the new pastime. Spent hours upon hours with my brother and sister - love them dearly.
Same here. Loved it. Had to shower down in the basement after a long day splitting wood. Also did my difficult gymnastics beam routine on the railing of the back porch I helped build when I was 7.
Michigan here, Miles described the good ol days to the T
We always had rice Krispies
My mom's big thing is using zip loc bags for like 5-10 years and washing them over and over. I told her we would bury her with her collection someday.
Of course, I still do that, we were lucky to have ziploc bags..and if you threw one away..oh noo!
My mom does that, and I just started. 😂they’re so bad for the environment and it’s so wasteful not to
I've been reusing them my whole life but have you noticed they started making the zippers to break?? I still have a Ziploc from my childhood that's still totally fine but I can't get the new ones to last very long
@@melanieruddy399 I use the plastic containers and wash them then I never have any leaks.
My mom also saved butter tubs. I don't eat butter except at their house.
that's awesome😂
The only recipe you need is "this will probably taste good together".
& cheese for anything 🔥
I STILL have an old yellow blue bonnet margarine bowl that's over 30 years old that we use as a cereal bowl 😂
The halloween one hits hard
I'm a veteran of the Halloween Blizzard of '91. Still got half a pillow case filled.
I started going as a zombie hunter my winter coat was orange I stipend have a halloween picture of me in it with snow pants on
From Minnesota and 100% did EVERYTHING you talk about
Floor hockey, Nerf wars and PS1 in our Michigan basement......take me back
Oh my gosh my boyfriend grew up in California and I told him about how jealous I was of kids who lived in California or Florida because here in Michigan it was either you wear your costume over your coat or yes wore it under your coat 😂😂
I'm from Michigan too
🤜🤛 I always wore princess, ballerina, butterfly type costumes so I hated that it ruined my whole look lol
Most families can’t even afford Halloween in places like California. You just roll around in some dirt and say your dressed up as a homeless person like everyone else did.
My goodness, that ending "I turned out fine" is peak MN parent/grandparent
My brother and I ate cereal out of those emptied butter and Cool Whip containers. Those "bowls" were only thrown out after they'd eventually crack and fail to retain milk.
Lol same
You'd think that growing up here and experiencing all those halloweens would have taught me to buy my kids a size larger costume, but to no avail.
I love the popcorn-vomit bucket
My family it was an empty gallon ice cream bucket.
Hey you mix your baked goods in there too. Dont under sell the bucket
@@puremaledark8305 so true. We also stored watermelon in there too
Those nights where you and the friends go in the basement and clear out a spot to do whatever shenanigans we had planned.. memories
My grandfather owned Arrow Plastics for decades, the maker of the "puke bowl" you have... LMAO. Let me know if you need a care package with extras! I have the hook up.
Your Grandfather the proud producer of medical equipment ❤
What else are you supposed to do with empty food containers, put them in the recycling? Blasphemy 😂
This can't be limited to the midwest. Surely everyone does this?
So I thought the midwest side dish was green jello mold with shaved carrots on a bed of lettuce. Ever church function had at least 5 growing up.
Yep ! As a boomer in Illinois , grew up w/ the " Joys of Jello " recipe book & a year's worth of seasonal jello molds . As recently as a few years ago at my mom's Lutheran after-funeral lunch served by the L. ladies , there were jello dishes - my mom would have approved !! 😇😅
Don’t remember snicker salad but everything else is spot on
The ping-pong table is so true haha spot on as usual Miles😅
@youbetcha…. I hope you and your families are all ok after the outbreak yesterday. God be with the people of Iowa and Nebraska!!!! 🌪️💔 was one of the most incredible things Ive ever seen.
After I met my wife, I learned to line your puke bowl with a plastic bag or two. That way, it's not "quite" as gross when you're eating pasta salad out of it next week. Blew my mind
We just used an old ice cream pail when we were sick. My dad thought the bowl was gross.
As a 42 year old male from Winnipeg MB, this hit home hard!
Yup, it was the same in SK!
It’s not a bowl, it’s a reused ice cream pail!! Reduce, reuse, and recycle, Amiright!
I’m old and I’ve lived in Detroit nearly my whole life, and yes, the love of containers is 100% real. It hurts my soul to put a container in the recycle bin.
I'm from the Detroit area but my dad is a Yooper so our vacations were either long drives up there to visit my grandparents, or camping. 😁
You forgot two road trip spots that pretty much every Midwestern goes to Mall of America and Valley fair
@Chubbs- it's pretty much the Disney Land of Minnesota it's located on the outskirts of Minneapolis in Shakopee if we where really lucky growing up one day we would go to Mall of America and the next we would go to Valley Fair
Do people from out of state come to Valley Fair?
@fredtrunce5931 as a kid my family would go it was like a once a summer thing and we lived about 4 hours away in North Dakota. And Mall of America was a twice a year thing.
I've never been to any of these places, I feel robbed.
Mall of America didn't exist when I was a kid and we never went to valley Fair. Dad did take me to the world series when the twins won and the parade afterwards
Rhode Island here. That Snickers situation sounds scrumptious.
I grew up in the Midwest and we never went to Mt. Rushmore or the Wisconsin Dells. However, we did go many times to Cedar Point as well as sea world in Ohio.
The unfinished basement! 😂
I'm a born & raised Minnesotan and this video is very true.
Took me three tries to find the butter at Mom's house the other day. Not bad considering I had 7 choices of butter tubs to choose from.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't forget a bag full of bags.
The second I saw the red bowl, I was like, PUKE BOWL!!!
Lol yupper I remember mom running for it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Grew up in Wisconsin and still here. My dad would save Dannon yogurt cups for regular drinking cups. 🙄
My grandma would use empty Kaukauna cheese spread containers as cups
That's pretty much spot on. Our MN unfinished basement was awesome. We played soccer indoors during the winter for decades and I remember my road trip to the Dells fondly.
Omg, i laughed so hard at the puke bucket. I needed this laugh. My little girl has puked her guts out today. She is literally laying on the couch propped up with pillows, watching cartoons, with the remote in one hand and an arm wrapped around a puke bucket. It's a gallon ice cream bucket. No food goes in it, but it's used for other things. I grew up so midwest. 😂
We used the gallon ice cream bucket as well growing up. It was also the soapy water bucket for washing, and the kitchen scraps bucket.
whenever the bowl wasn't used for puke or measuring it was 24/7 used as a fruit bowl. I remember the fruit laying strewn across the counter because we finally bothered to make a cake or one of my siblings bothered with the cake threw it up. lol
You could not have described my childhood any better. Scotcharoos are gluten-free and dairy-free! I became that aunt who now brings them to every family holiday 😂
You gotta get an extra big Halloween costume to go OVER the coat and snow pants
Dude had a midwesterner give me scotcheroos and now i make them every year for my birthday. Im just now realizing im a grown ass man i can make scotcheroos whenever the hell i want them.... im going to the store for beer and scotcheroo ingredients!
Basement at my house had a poker table, a full kitchen(with cabinets) because my house was constantly under “construction,” a water bed(used for folding clothes on,) the washer and dryer, and a make shift roller rink obstacle course(for rainy days and the long Midwest winters.) Naturally mold and mildew smell, and the classic urinal that is the ejector pit.
Can’t wait to teach my boys that last one.
As a child I was raised in Wisconsin up until I turned 14 when we moved to Washington. This video was so cute and funny. It was also accurate. 😊
The butter containers 😂 specifically country crock
riding in the back seat of dad's ramcharger pulling a camper from the 1960's across nebraska to see mount rushmore. tail-whip all the way there, my 3 year old brother barfing his brains out in mom's dumped out purse, lunch at flintstones land, mom got a bunch huge boulders that we loaded in the front of the camper, and seeing carhenge on the way home.
Man. That Halloween weather still makes me sad to think about.
Family vacations - 10-hour drive to the Northwoods, and watching the Min-Aqua-Bats!
Yes the spagetti stains in the container 😂
northern indiana here, that halloween one hit on such a personal level lol
Being from Montana we would have our Halloween costumes 2 to 3 times the size just because we could where the winter gear under the costumes
Oh hell yeah Scotcheroos
You mean special K bars
You mean PB+Choco bars. Or as my one friend called them, "Reeses bars"
You mean there's no Rice Krispies in it?
The popcorn bowl that you puke in and still use is so on point lol 😂
You could exchange Midwest for Pacific Northwest here and everything would be just as accurate, except trick or treating because here you also needed am umbrella as well as a winter coat!
I rollerskated in our MN basement! It was great. If there's peanut allergy friends coming to your party you can be nice and make Special K bars with Tahini and sprinkle sesame seeds on top so everyone can tell the peanut from the sesame flavored bars.
My Canadian childhood sure had a lot in common with your Midwestern one. 👍
So true😂 I think my mom still has most of those same cool whip containers! She'd always bring in those huge ice cream buckets to put next to your bed if you were puking. Lol. And yes, I can't count the many times traveling to Wisconsin Dells, Mt Rushmore, out west. Never planes. Midwest kids traveled by road trips only. 😂
I can still feel the wind, snow, cold sleet that came down every Halloween. It goes right through ya and the memory is forever.
My puke bowl, whenever my mom thought I was going to puke, she brought it up. When we had popcorn she gave me same bowl. I don't know where that bowl went but I miss it.
We called them toffee bars, is that okay? And we were about 3 hours from the Dells if you took 94/90 but my dad took the county highways so it took for-frickin-EVER.
As an Iowan, we have officially done the Mt. Rushmore and Wisconsin Dells vacations. Will be going to the Dells this summer, hopefully....after we already went on Spring Break. It's a great place, what can I say?
I’m not even from the midwest but I’m always watching these videos 😂
I felt that "depends on who you ask" bit...
Those kids that got to go to Wisconsin Dells sure were lucky. The only place we went to for vacation was Duluth. Not that there’s anything wrong with Duluth. I love going there, but it sure would have been nice to go somewhere else at least once.
I grew up in Duluth. No vacationing where you live...
I moved from California to South Dakota with my kids and learned after our first Halloween that kids here DO NOT walk to trick or treat. You puke in the van and mom drives you from house to house - yes every individual house! My poor kids absolutely froze our first Halloween
We also use containers for left overs in Australia! It's always a lucky dip what you're gonna find in my Mum's fridge!!
Yep-puke bucket, Halloween coats, random casseroles…. All went down in a west side Cleveland suburb.
Puke bowl is the mixing bowl.....1000% true.
Nothing beats spending thanksgiving day in an indoor water park and having pizza for supper
OMG! I grew up in MN, so a jacket on Halloween, YES! Saving plastic tubs, I still do that. My dad was a biker, and we took a couple road trips with the family to Sturgis, because he never missed the rally. I have pictures at Mount Rushmore as a kid 😂😂😂.
3:35 this was my parents basement. It was unfinished and had a toilet in the middle of it. Right above it was the hole in the upstairs linen closet where they would drop dirty clothes. So if you were sitting on the toilet and they opened the door they could see you 😂 In one section we had an old area rug with an old living room set with an old 70’s console tv. On the right side was a 8 track under the lid and the left had a record player. If we weren’t playing a video game we were watching mtv videos. I spent most of the 80’s down there with my friends.
Grew up in the very most mid-west place of Kansas. We vacationed in Roaring River to fish every year despite there being five daughters. Right on target about Scotcheroos and reusing butter tubs. But the red vomit bucket is new-/you know how I know? We bought this same one at dollar tree last year. And yes wasn’t need to back to being a mixing bowl.
The Halloween one was too real
The wearing the winter gear over the Halloween costume is so relatable and sad 😢
Hell yeah growing up in Texas my mom used butter containers for everything from leftover gumbo to baked chicken
I had cousins in Kenosha, so even though I grew up in California, I still experienced most of these a time or two.
😂the ol’ puke bowl😂😂 ours is a Christmas bowl🤣🤣🤣
Never been more accurate
Northeast New England can relate. Rhode Island native here
I was talking to my friends from California and I was mentioning my aunt’s puppy chow recipe and they had no clue what I was talking about…they only knew it as muddy buddies
Lol. Feel the Halloween thing. Guaranteed in Oregon it will rain on October 31st.
Lmao! I had a sour cream container at work that I had to throw away because I wasn't able to wash it out and I felt like it was sacrilege!
This really made my day better 😄So relatable and funny! Thank you 😃
OMG. I just learned why I never had a Scotcharoo until I was an adult! My mom made Special K bars! 🤣
Born and raised in northwest Ohio steeped in Michigan/Indiana/Wisconsin/Midwest. These videos hit so hard it hurts. Now I live in northeast Ohio and it's freaky how only a few hundred miles away and still in the same state I'm in a completely different world! They actually think I'm the odd one. Oofda!
And reusing food containers and bowls that had a sketchy past? Absolutely. We even had to open our birthday and Christmas presents very carefully because of course the wrapping paper could be used again!!!
