I was super-confused about what "Dairyland" was until I read the associated URL and realized it was just a typo.

"Dairyland" sounds like a lactose-based theme park.

EDIT: the typo in the title has been fixed.

Ok, we've replaced ai with ia in the title above.

I was even more confused, because here in Western Canada, Dairyland is the primary dairy brand (owned by Saputo) sold in most stores.

Greetings from Wisconsin, “America’s Dairyland.” We are still here!

I thought maybe Dairy Queen rebranded a decade ago in a desperate bid to save the company and changed their name to Dairyland - but I just went and checked and they're still going https://www.dairyqueen.com/en-us/ I gotta admit makes me sort of happy, Dairy Queen was always the fast food that had my heart as a kid just because I had seen it once while hitchhiking with my mom and her boyfriend between Illinois and Utah and a trucker gave us enough money to get some food there.

And their name and sign just looked a whole lot more magical than the others.

I was looking forward to reading about a dairy specific blogging platform...

Talk about milking your userbase

Cows lack toes, but I suppose eight are enough

Dairyland is in fact an insurance company https://www.dairylandinsurance.com/

No! And it's too late to edit! Oh, well, at least it opened the door to a bad pun or two.

It is apparently “The World's Leading Manufacturer of Solid-State Decoupling Products”

Honestly a lot of website names were super weird back then, I wouldn't have blinked an eye if "dairyland" really was the name of a popular 90's site.

"Dairyland" is a real nostalgia trip for me, because it was the name emblazoned on the local ice cream van when I was a kid!

Huge disappoint no info about milk goats or cows.

Having just read Breakfast of Champions, it was nice to see kilgoretrout online.

Or the Wisconsin State Fair.

I would love to visit "Dairyland"

Wisconsin is America's Dairyland
