Happy National Junk Food Day.
Fun Food Facts:
- Oreos are beloved- 5 states reach for Oreos before anything else.
- All the “itos” chips (Fritos, Doritos, and Cheetos) made the map.
- Missouri’s favorite treat, Grandma’s Cookies are a brand, not their actual grandma’s cookies- Although I’m sure those are good, too.
- Most snacks were some state’s favorites. But no one likes Butterfingers, Hi-Chews, MMs’s, Reese’s, and Twizzlers the best. This is definite proof that some states’ have crummy taste. Really, Alaska, you’d rather have a granola bar than Reese’s? I get Hi-Chew not being anyone’s favorite, but MM’s are awesome.
- Why does the Midwest like sunflower seeds so much? Both North Dakota and Wyoming’s favorite treats are sunflower seeds.
- Sweet wins over salty- 29 states’ favorite snack is sweet.
