I believe the Guest House is Tator Tot Gold!!
Somebody at Crayola clearly took a wrong turn onto Highway 61 and never made it back, because this box of Minnesota Crayon Colors captures the state better than any tourism brochure ever has.
Boundary Waters Blue and North Shore Slate cover the scenery side, but the real personality shows up further down the box. Juicy Lucy Brown melts cheese right into the wrapper description. TaterOt Gold and Hotdish Beige belong in every church basement in the state. Mosquito Bite Red needs no further explanation to anyone who's spent a June evening on a dock.
Cabin Smoke Gray and Aurora Borealis Green round out the moodier end of the palette, and Purple Rain Purple closes the whole thing out as the only correct way to end a Minnesota-themed anything.
Nobody asked for a crayon box built entirely out of regional inside jokes. Minnesota made one anyway, and somehow every single color makes complete sense to anyone who's lived here.
