Montana
Spot On Or Way Off? Post About Life In Montana Goes Viral.
Folks from all over the world visit Montana, and while most people enjoy their time here in Big Sky Country, it’s sometimes humorous when you come across a description of the state or the people who live here.
While it’s been said that many Americans aren’t familiar with the way the world works outside the United States, a recent post on social media shows that those living outside of America might not be aware of what happens here either.
A recent post is making the rounds on social media where someone living in England was asked to describe each of the 50 states and what happens there, and let’s just say, when it comes to Montana, they were a bit off.
While Montana is known for its cowboys, rodeos, National Parks, and outdoor activities, we’re also home to high-tech businesses, fine dining, and 5-star resorts for the rich and famous. The website Shareably posted remarks regarding all 50 states, including the one about The Treasure State.
So what did our English friend say about Montana?
Our buddy across the pond believes that Montana might not be as sophisticated as it is, when the person tweeted the following.
To the best of my knowledge Montana is famous for being a mountain that people live on.
It didn’t stop there, as mentioned all 50 states were talked about, so what about some of our neighbors? What did our foreign friend have to say about them? Regarding North Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah the following was said.
To the best of my knowledge North Dakota is famous for nothing. I’ve literally never heard of it.
To the best of my knowledge Wyoming is nothing more than a big field with a Buffalo in the middle of it.
To the best of my knowledge Idaho is famous for making and eating potatoes
To the best of my knowledge Utah is a place where all you morons, preppers and general nutjobs gather to be alone.
While I’m guessing that some of this was meant to be funny, it seems that our friend across the pond probably isn’t a big fan of the 4th of July or anything else America-related.

New Montana license plate supports Kalispell pee wee baseball
KALISPELL, Mont. — A new Montana license plate is now available at the Kalispell DMV to help support pee wee baseball.
Each plate can be purchased for $30 and will help to boost off season revenue.
The baseball plate was designed by Alexandra Sheneman who helped pitch design ideas to the board.
Proceeds will benefit the youth baseball program by funding new equipment and maintenance upgrades at the Kidsports Complex.
That includes bats, baseballs, nets, and new concrete.
Leftover funding will help families afford the baseball program.
“Once that number starts going up, it will generate some sponsorship funding so that we can help families that need support that can’t afford it,” said Kalispell pee wee baseball president Andy Wilson.
This is a great way to step up to the plate and help keep the youth baseball program strong for future seasons.

‘Hannah Montana’ fans question Starbucks drink. ‘She hates raspberry’.
Miley Cyrus recalls ‘Hannah Montana’ casting journey
Miley Cyrus thanks Disney for taking a “chance” on her in “Hannah Montana” as the show celebrates its 20th anniversary with a new special.
Hannah Montana once sang that “Nobody’s Perfect,” a sentiment fans are echoing regarding Starbucks’ new drink honoring the fictional pop star ahead of her iconic Disney TV show’s 20th anniversary special.
Thought to be a drink that Hannah Montana would order at Starbucks, the coffee chain launched the Secret Popstar Refresher on March 23 as a celebration ahead of the “Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special”, set to be released on Disney+ on March 24. The drink consists of a grande Strawberry Acai Refresher with raspberry cold foam, two pumps of raspberry syrup and no strawberry inclusions – the dried strawberries typically in the refresher, according to the Starbucks app.
However, fans were quick to point out that the beloved TV show’s main character, Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus), who lives a double life as teen pop star Hannah Montana, notoriously hates raspberries. Her disdain for raspberries was established in Season 1 of the show.
Stewart’s disgust is rooted in a childhood experience, during which she got sick after eating too much raspberry pie. Her hate for the fruit is exacerbated when Hannah Montana has to advertise a raspberry-scented perfume.
Now, fans of the show have taken to social media to speculate on Starbucks’ inclusion of raspberry.
Fans react to the raspberry Hannah Montana drink
Fans on social media quickly caught the raspberry reference after the drink’s launch on March 23, which many felt was an oversight by Starbucks, as they seemingly did not take Hannah Montana’s past into account.
Multiple comments on Starbucks’ Instagram post announcing the drink question the product’s flavor, including messages like “Why raspberry tho…didn’t Miley/Hannah hate raspberry,” “but she hates raspberry,” and “brooo there’s an episode in Hannah Montana (the perfume ad) where she doesn’t like raspberry!!!!”
The post’s caption appears to poke fun at the episode, reading: “For the fans who remember the raspberry saga, this one’s for you.”
Other comments under the post from Disney accounts also seem to acknowledge the raspberry inclusion as intentional, with the official Disney+ account commenting, “This completes the circle,” and the official Disney Channel account commenting, “the raspberry lore lives on!”
How to order a Hannah Montana drink at Starbucks
The Secret Popstar Refresher will be available for order through the Starbucks mobile app until April 5, according to a Starbucks statement obtained by USA TODAY.
The drink is a “secret menu exclusive,” meaning it is not on the official Starbucks menu in stores or drive-thru. Customers who know the recipe or use the Starbucks mobile app can order the refresher variation.
However, like any drink variation at the coffee chain, the refresher can be ordered at any time, as long as Starbucks has the required ingredients.
How to watch ‘Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special’?
The “Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special” became available to stream on Disney+ on March 24.
Reflecting on the past two decades, the special is an intimate sit-down interview with Miley Cyrus and “Call Her Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper. The interview was filmed in front of a live audience in a recreation of the iconic Stewart ranch-style home.
