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

You know what's really good, that cheesy hashbrown casserole recipe. We only make it at Christmas. I think I might add bacon to it this year. One of my daughters may not like it but, if she doesn't, that's because she's weird. Right?
My school in Western Iowa had chili WITH cinnamon rolls. Not in or on or mixed together
The eastern half of Iowa idea seems to make sense, my hometown is Aplington, which is about 25 miles west of Cedar Falls. Perhaps it's also an ethnic thing? The area I grew up is very strong German, with the majority of the residents descended from the North Sea area of Germany what they call Ostfriesland. Growing up, we also had fund raisers called chili/ oyster suppers, where people had the choice of chili or oyster stew. Never have cared for oyster stew.
It's either $5 or 5 bucks. $5 buck makes me think of a deer worth $5.
I've never heard that one either. Of course I hear "ATM machine" and "PIN number" all the time.
A $5 buck is one bill worth five dollars. $5 bucks clearly meant I sold it for 10 or more dollars. Duh.
Up around Mason City to Osage to Cresco to Decorah and surrounding areas, everyone up here I know has had or heard of it. Most schools in this area that I know of have done it I think. Some people do it at home, but it was always at school. Lot of German and Scandinavian ancestry up here.
Our town and school fund raisers are always chili/chicken soup and always came with cinnamon rolls. At home though, holidays or other occasions would be chili/oyster stew suppers.
