Hi Imgur!
I'm posting this to see if there's anyone else here who's from Iowa.
I know Disney (among others) tends to pick on Iowa in their movies/TV shows, so I'm curious what kinds of stereotypes anyone and everyone has heard about Iowa, not just from Disney. Post them in the comments and I will try to confirm or deny them.
As for the photo: this is little Joey. He's my hand-made caramel apple plushy that I bought at a convention i went to the weekend in July.
TL;DR, OP wants to know if there are any other Iowans here, and what kinds of stereotypes about Iowa you've all heard.

I can honestly not think of a single stereotype about Iowa.

I once picked up a horse from Mystic, Iowa and most of the village was shut down because they were making a movie. 1/2

Turns out Mystic, Iowa was the Meth Capitol of the US, per capita, and they were making a documentary about it. 2/2

Sounds about right

I live in Iowa and from Illinois. I like it a lot more than Illinois

I bet-I would be terrified to live in Illinois. I've heard the drivers there aren't the most polite.

Funny, we say you iowa folks are terrible drivers here in IL.

Hey Des Moines people maybe we should have a meet up somewhere
asmallbluepebble
I'm honestly way too lazy to even want to think of something like that, ever. So no worries :)

I'd be up for this but please don't murder me and wear my face as a mask.. If I have to call in sick to work they'll kill me.

Crap I replied to my own comment instead of yours
asmallbluepebble
What kind of meeting place? I personally prefer somewhere really public because it makes me feel safer about meeting people I don't know :)
hyperhippie
Anywhere. Wherever. Coffee, gateway park, up down, etc.
asmallbluepebble
There's a coffee shop in valley junction too isn't there?
asmallbluepebble
There's a Starbucks by the Merle hay mall, or a food court if you don't like coffee :)
hyperhippie
Coffee is great!
