Every State’s Most Popular Condiment
Do you have a favorite condiment you dump on everything? Like whether you’re having fries, salad, or wings, you’ve gotta have ranch on hand?
The product-ratings website Influenster.com went through about 50,000 reviews to see which condiments Americans are currently obsessed with. And they came up with the top condiment in all 50 states.
It’s not necessarily the most-used condiment in each state. More like the one that’s currently TRENDING the most. And they used a pretty loose definition of what a “condiment” is. So things like peanut butter and alfredo sauce count.
Despite that added competition, Hidden Valley Ranch still tied for first with five states. But one other product you’d NEVER expect also got five states: Nature’s Way Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Here are a few highlights from the survey . . .
1. Hidden Valley Ranch is #1 in Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.
2. Nature’s Way Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is #1 in Hawaii, Minnesota, Oregon, Alaska, and Colorado.
3. Frank’s Red Hot took the top spot in four states: Arizona, Maryland, North Carolina, and Texas.
4. Nutella, also four states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Virginia.
