It's National Junk Food Day And Here's The Most Popular Snack In Every State

If you were planning to have a kale salad for lunch, skip it, because today is National Junk Food Day!  The website Zippia.com analyzed Google searches from all 50 states to find each state's favorite snack and three categories dominated the searches:  Potato chips, candy bars, and cookies.  Here's what they figured out...

First of all, in Florida, apparently we love our mini donuts. That came in as our #1 snack. I love some Munchkins and mini donuts, but I wouldn't have picked that in a million years as our #1 junk food.


Candy bars topped the list in 10 states:  Utah, New Hampshire, Almond Joy, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Nevada, South Dakota, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

Eight states love cookies:  Oreos are the top snack in Hawaii, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, and Virginia. Chips Ahoy took the top spot in New York, while Grandma's Cookies are #1 in Missouri. Nutter Butters are #1 in Kansas and also in my heart. LOL

Different potato chips took first in seven states:  Kettle chips in Oregon, Lay's in West Virginia and Georgia, Pringles in Indiana and Iowa, Ruffles in Alabama and salt-and-vinegar chips in South Carolina. (Really? Salnt and Vinegar is the #1 junk food? Weird.)

A few more snacks that got more than one state: 

Fritos are #1 in Delaware, Kentucky, and Nebraska

Cheez-Its in Arizona and Washington

Ritz Crackers came in first in Maine and Rhode Island

Michigan and Oklahoma love South Patch Kids

Starburst snagged the top spot in North Carolina and Ohio.
