America’s Favorite Munchies: A State-by-State Snackdown
A new study reveals America’s favorite snacks, state by state, and the results are as diverse as the nation itself. Data firm HubScore crunched the numbers, analyzing geotagged online reviews, search trends, and consumer behavior data to determine each state’s snacking preferences. So, what’s your state’s go-to munchie?
Rice Krispies Treats Reign Supreme:
From Alaska to Wisconsin, a whopping 18 states crowned Rice Krispies Treats as their favorite snack. This nostalgic treat, a staple of bake sales and childhood memories, clearly resonates across the country. Whether store-bought or homemade, these gooey, marshmallowy squares offer a comforting bite of childhood.
Doritos Dominate the South:
A swath of states from the Mid-Atlantic down through the South have pledged allegiance to Doritos. This crunchy, cheesy, and often fiery snack has clearly captured the hearts (and taste buds) of millions.
Cheetos Conquer the Southwest:
The Southwest and parts of the Midwest can’t get enough Cheetos. From their classic cheesy crunch to the ever-popular Flamin’ Hot varieties, Cheetos have carved out a significant chunk of the snack market.
Regional Favorites Emerge:
Chex Mix takes the top spot in Hawaii, Montana, and North Dakota, while Fritos claim Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Lay’s potato chips satisfy cravings in Connecticut and New York.
