The BEST WAYS To Tell If Someone Is From Utah!
Imagine you’re at the happiest place on earth: Disneyland. You see a family next to you, and something about them reminds you of home. THEY HAVE TO BE FROM UTAH!
HERE ARE THE BEST WAYS TO TELL IF SOMEONE IS FROM UTAH!
They’re white:
Yeah… That’s a good start for the most part! Utah is a WHOPPING 88% white! Followed by 3% asian, 2% Native American and 1.5% Black.
They’re wearing a BYU shirt:
Let’s be honest here… If you’re not from Utah, you wouldn’t be caught DEAD in a BYU shirt or hat. Not a chance in hell!
Mom, Dad, and WAY TOO MANY KIDS:
Utah loves procreating! If you’re from Utah, you probably know someone with at least 8 siblings! You’ve got two parents in the park trying to keep up with 8 kids? Seems nearly impossible!
They’re blessing their Disneyland Churro or Corndog:
If you’ve walked past them, and they’re blessing for that corndog to nourish and strengthen their body, I’m willing to bet that family is from Utah!
Mom’s face:
The lips are fake and huge, the cheeks are fake and huge, the eye skin has been pulled back so far she looks like she just saw a ghost, and OTHER THINGS are very clearly huge and fake… There’s a great chance they’re from Utah. I mean, Utah has the SECOND MOST Plastic Surgeons per capita in the entire United States!
Those cringy matching Disneyland t-shirts:
I’m not talking about the shirts that everyone has mickey on them. I’m talking about the “JENSEN FAMILY DISNEYLAND TRIP 2023!” T-shirts… Everyone is sporting one, and they’ll never wear it again. What a waste of money!
