Delaware is not one to stick to the status quo when it comes to sales tax– Or snacks. According to a new analysis by Wise Voter, the No. 1 state’s favorite snack is Kettle Brand potato chips, which didn’t top the list in any other US state.
To specify classifications, The wise voter First compiled a list of 20 classics snacksrunning the gamut from sweet (e.g., Reese’s, Chips Ahoy, Skittles) to salty (PringlesTostitos, Fritos) to sweet and salty (trail mix). Some shows, like Sour Patch Kids, stand in a class of their own. And while Cheez-Its, Cheetos, Doritos, and Goldfish can certainly be described as salty, they are more appropriately characterized by their cheesiness. In short, there’s a little bit of almost everything on the menu, but your favorite treat probably didn’t make the cut. Pretzels and popcorn are conspicuously absent, as are Oreos, Ritz crackers, and plenty of other name-brand products.
Wise Voter then used Google Trends data to determine which of the 20 selected snacks were searched for the most in each state. He was the clear winner Doritosranked first in 23 states, from Oregon to North Carolina. As you can see on the map, flavored tortilla chips seem to have a particularly strong hold in the Midwest and South. M&M’sMeanwhile, the New England and Rocky Mountain states have a near monopoly.
