For those familiar with my obsession with the shape of the state of Minnesota, I was so thrilled to find a chocolate sucker in the shape of the great state of "sky tinted water" (Souix meaning for Minnesota). Speaking of 'sky tinted', I had to look more into the translation. It directly translates to cloudy in the native language. So, Minnesota really means 'cloudy water'. Isn't that pleasant. Of course, sky-tinted sounds better. In fact, so good, that Hamm's used it as their marketing theme for decades. "From The Land of Sky Blue Waters...Refreshing".

See original 1960's commercial here. 

But I digress.  I found this sucker at the Cooco Bean in downtown Northfield.  Eileen also informed me that her MN cookie cutters were on back order.  I need to get back there.

So, I waited as long as I could and ended up eating it as I drove away.  I took a bite and realized in just a second I took out the Aarowhead region of Minnesota.  Those poor souls up in St Louis County and the BWCA.  (notice the photo while driving....dumb).

BTW, it's not just 10,000 lakes.  It's 15,761.  Nice job counting early-Minnesotan's.
