Cheese on a pop tart....an Iowa thing?

But did you grow up playing Duck, Duck, Goose or Duck, Duck, Gray Duck before your meal of a cinnamon roll and chili (something I'd also never heard of in my 40 years in Iowa before very recently)?
Yeah we didn't do this at Ames, and have never heard of anyone doing this before.
I feel sorry for the Iowans that weren't shown the glory of the chili/cinnamon roll combo. Maybe its just a small town thing? I've even seen this combo on restaurant menus in more than one small town.
Probably one of those assclowns that wears an Iowa sweatshirt while attending ISU.
Grew up in eastern Iowa. This is the first I've ever heard about cinnamon rolls and chili - and I wish I'd never heard about it. That just sounds revolting. I mean, who thinks of this ****? "Yeah, this chili is pretty good, but I wonder what could make it better.... Hey, here's an idea - let's pour it into a cinnamon roll bowl." Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Don't feel sorry for me. I've made it 39 years without ever having to even comprehend such a thing. I'm good.
Spent my whole life in central Iowa and I've never heard of cinnamon rolls and chili, but it doesn't sound near as disgusting as cheese and a pop tart. I would try it. According to this article it's not unique to Iowa.

I'm sorry you've been sheltered from this.How can you be sure if its disgusting if you've never had it? Its a good sweet n spicy combo.
I've never licked a butthole, but I'm pretty sure I can safely say that's disgusting.
My condolences to Mrs. Airbag.
We were talking about chili. NOT the chili ring...
Yes, I've seen where Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Washington all claim to be the origin of cinnamon rolls and Chili. There also seems to be just as many from all these areas that have never heard of it as that have.
And according to the original article the cheese and pop tarts is fake. It was a publicity stunt/dare.
Come on now, I'm sure you've licked a hawkeye or two in your day...

I grew up in Webster City and my wife in Red Oak. Both schools had chili and cinnamon rolls as school lunch probably twice a month. It’s still on our kids school menus. I have a lunch meeting for about 50 customers every winter and we serve homemade chili and cinnamon rolls. All of them love it.
