"The Minneapple" was a popular nickname for the city of Minneapolis in the 1980s, in contrast to the "The Big Apple" (New York City). This postcard shows a Minneapolitan's distorted view of the world.
This is a display of some of my "minneapples" that I have above my kitchen sink. My favorites are the ones with the faces. My apple collection started with a vintage cookie jar. I realized that I didn't have space for a cookie jar collection, so I started collecting apple salt and pepper shakers and other thingies of a similar size. Most of my apples are kitchen related, but I have other types of apple thingies also.

I love your apples, and my favorites are the ones with the faces too. Those are really cute! I have one apple cookie jar, it is yellow and I think it is a McCoy. Loved looking at your cuties today. Have a great VTT.
what a cool collection :-)
I like your apple collections, so cute looking.
Enjoyed seeing your fun collection and the neat postcard. I live in a suburb of Minneapolis. Take care~
I do not recall seeing these before, but they are just the cutest. They make a nice display.
Oh, they're all so cute! I wouldn't mind a few in my fruity kitchen!
Such a darling collection. I love apples and have featured mine awhile back. It contains salt and pepper shakers.

That Minneapples picture is hysterical - - - the Atlantic Ocean is RIGHT THERE!!!
I do love your apple collection, and OBVIOUSLY the faces are THE BEST!!!!
What a cute collection!
I love your apple collection! The pair with the bows are just too adorable...What a wonderfully cheerful collection!
Love the Minneapolis take on that classic New Yorker cover! I grew up in New York then went to college in Minneapolis!
These are so funny! The faces on the ones on the middle shelf are just a hoot, they look like they're planning something *L*
These make me want to go eat an apple;)
Funny little apples!
What can be more cheery than having fruit smiling at you! Great items!
great apples, and great postcard. I hadn't seen that one before.
How fun is that to look at while working at the sink! Love them.
Oh, I giggled immediately when I saw your apple collection! How FUN!
I love your collection! I believe the fruit/veggies with faces are called "Anthropomorphic" and are highly collectible! (I think I spelled that right!)
those smiling faces would make every day sweeter!!
have a wonderful day...

How adorable! I don't think I'll ever look at apples in the same light again.
Such happy little faces they have!

What fun to see this cooky card, since I just had a wonderful visit from a friend who lives in St. Paul and works in Minneapolis. (One of my brothers lives in Duluth, the other in Mankato.....but those cities don't count in the eyes of a Minneapplite?)
Does anyone know where to get a print of that Minneapple poster?
