Half serious answer: Blueberry (Indigenous), Lingonberry (Scandinavian), and Coffee (Horn of Africa)?
Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image
No matter the ingredients, the rest of the country would still call it Minneanapolitan.
Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image
...And sooner or later, St. Paul would get really jealous and ask the state for a subsidy to create a new, competing flavor.
Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image
My suggestion for Minneapolitan ice cream: road salt, snow, and dog shit.

Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image
Izzy's has an annual contest where it picks a few customer-suggested flavors. I could see JordanWasaN's suggestion having a shot.
Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image
Mintneapolitan -- just take neapolitan and replace one of the flavors with mint chocolate chip. Or replace the whole thing with mint chocolate chip.

Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image
There really ought to be some sort of federal legislation against job poaching. If city x or state y wants to have their property taxes or corporate income taxes at such and such a rate, that's fine, but the specific breaks for individual bunches of "jobs" are just dumb and hurt us all collectively.Northeastern Illinois municipalities have a bad habit of giving away tax revenues to lure businesses to move from one suburb to the next or from a suburb to the City of Chicago, because they believe it will grow their overall tax base and create jobs locally.

542,000 jobs in the Chicago loop... damn that's a lot.
Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image
Job poaching is a symptom of the extremely fragmented nature of local government in the US, not the problem itself. The US desperately needs a way to make it easier for metropolitan centers to annex their suburbs.There really ought to be some sort of federal legislation against job poaching.

Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image
Well, state and regional poaching is just as bad, though it looks less silly. There's def a case for annexation to a certain extent.

Ouch, Chicago. Several people sent that to me as I was driving back from Chicago following the election.
