Here Are the Most Popular Super Bowl Snacks in Every State, According to Google
Chili, pizza, nachos, and chicken wings are the standard Super Bowl fare around the country, but before you make too many guesses about what might be on the menu at this year’s party, take into account where you’re hanging out. If you’re partying in Idaho, brace for … salad? Indiana has fried rice to look forward to, and New Mexico will both serve and have to explain to us what “pea and peppercorn mash” is.
Google Trends are always a fascinating glimpse into the regional delicacies and traditions, and their Super Bowl breakdown of the foods searched for most uniquely in each state is no different. Buffalo chicken dip seems to be the most popular option, headlining in the host state of Georgia, but the competing teams’ home states are sticking to the healthful options: California clocks in with baked chicken breast (come on, Cali, live a little), while Massachusetts is going with gluten-free pretzels.
But if you’re looking to put a little pep in your own party, we suggest you look to Delaware (chocolate peanut butter cake), Maine (paella), and DC (bagel pigs in a blanket).
