It’s a little-known fact that this year’s Super Bowl, or what I am legally required to refer to as The Big Game™, is happening right here in Minnesota! Did you know that? While it’ll be cool to see the North Star State capture the world’s attention for a few hours on Sunday, one thing is absolutely certain: the announcers will definitely play into our stereotypes. It’s guaranteed to happen. But since I have no legitimate rooting interest in the actual game itself (other than desperately hoping the Patriots lose), I thought us Minnesotans could have a little fun with our very own drinking game. And if you don’t drink, don’t worry – you can still play along with water, soda, milk, or a can of La Croix. The choice is yours.

So without further adieu, here is your unofficial Minnesota Super Bowl Drinking Game Minnesota The Big Game© Drinking Game™:

Anytime the announcers mention how cold it is in Minnesota (did you know it’s sometimes cold here??) – drink once

“Lutefisk” – drink three times

“Minnesota Nice” – drink once (please drink responsibly)

Whenever an announcer imitates a Minnesota accent – drink once

“Don’t CHA know” – drink once

“OOFDAH!” – drink five times
