This admittedly is pure candy for a Michigander, but it sure is entertaining.

We stumbled across this gem of Texans attempting to say words commonly used in Michigan or Michigan locations – [and as one of our team is originally from Texas](https://www.dailydetroit.com/2015/08/08/10-things-you-think-when-you-move-to-detroit/), we’re going to have to test her when she gets in tomorrow.

Words attempted include:

Ontonagon  
Dowagiac  
Hamtramck  
Mackinac Island  
Charlotte  
Sault Ste. Marie  
Pinconning  
Ypsilanti  
Gratiot  
Gogebic  
Paczki  
Poutine

Poutine is one of those things that has really become popular around restaurants here as of late – I don’t remember it much as a kid in Detroit, but everyone’s mileage may vary.
