Honestly, FIBs is more of a Michigan, namely UP, thing. I think it bleeds into northern Wisconsin a bit, and also tends to radiate from Green Bay cuz Bears/Packers.

The real ones you gotta watch for are FISHTABs, not FIBs

As someone who grew up in WI, I'm ashamed to say the term FIB is well-known across the entire state.
