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: potato chips, candy bars, and cookies.
Maryland's favorite snack, according to their calculations, is Oreos. We don't think cookies are really a snack, and we think Oreos are pretty lame if you choose them as a cookie, but nobody asked us.
Here's what else the study found:
2. Maryland's not the only state that loves cookies: Oreos are also the top snack in Hawaii, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Virginia; Chips Ahoy took the top spot in New York; Grandma's Cookies are #1 in Missouri; Nutter Butters are #1 in Kansas.
3. Various 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.
4. 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, and Starburst snagged the top spot in North Carolina and Ohio.
5. And finally, the lamest snacks on the list: Wyoming and North Dakota are both obsessed with sunflower seeds, and granola bars are #1 in Alaska.
