What would Google do in Wisconsin?
Can't we all just get along?

We’ve always known that Wisconsinites planned their lives around a C-word, but it may surprise most to know that the word isn’t cheese, it’s chemistry.

While the 42nd link on Google provided yet another challenge, it also gave this reporter a deeper look into what really makes the 30th state tick.

What type of chemistry exactly makes Wisconsin such an expert?  Electrons and Neutrons? Dating advice? How the cheese stays solid at room temperature?

  1. Love

We see it in the movies and hear about it in the classifieds, but love, when researched to its roots, is all about chemistry.  Could this be the key behind the Badger State’s success?  Maybe the chemistry between Minnesota and Iowa produced a large child named Wisconsin.  The people that inhabit Wisconsin have seemingly formed such a large bond that everyone gets along.  This is always a viable option.

  1. Cheese Glue

When someone yells Wisconsin, the first though of most is cheese.  This product is so famous that the state’s football team has fans known as Cheeseheads.  This is so important to the state’s image that focus is kept from the real secret…how the cheese stays solid.  It’s always been a mystery why something so obviously gooey and delicious can fight off the wrath of 72 degrees up in its grill.  That’s why is more important than the previous option.  The secret that is cheese is held between these bricks.

  1. Electrons and Neutrons

Nah, not a chance this stuff is what happens in Wisconsin.

I’ll leave it up to the ledger faithful to decide what the chemistry of Wisconsin is really up to at the university.  I’ve laid out the options (please do a little research and e-mail me at with your opinions), so it’s up to our 250 weekly readers to rise up an reveal how our neighbor of the North has hiding up its sleeves.
