Haha, yeah...us Minnesotans are a goofy bunch...I will say though, the stereotypical "Fargo" (the movie not the town, because the town isn't in MN...) accent doesn't really exist in most of the state. You have to go way up north to run into that. Those of us in the Twin Cities area are usually toned down quite a bit, but still cut off our "t"'s, for example" oh ya, we minnesodans really like to get the boad oud on the lake"

I have never dropped a T in my life. sounds like you are describing someone with sinus congestion.
 
Okay, my family originates from Kentucky so I'm really used to hearing a southern drawl.
I've definitely heard people pronounce Spider as "Spa-der" and Wash as "Warsh".
So if someone said "Spa-Der-Co" to me I would just assume they have a southern accent and not think anything of it lol.
It's like when southern people are saying My and they say "Ma".

You guys might not hear it because you're so used to it, especially being in northern MN, but I promise, stereotypically, we don't pronounce hard "t"s. For example, the common stereotypical minnesotan for "don't you know?" is "don' cha (or ja) know".

Just say the word "Minnesota" in your head a few times, sounds an awful lot like "Minnesoda" doesn't it?

nope, I only talk like that if I am making a Norwegian joke. The accent has more to do with the accents on the vowels than missing any consonants.
