Thanksgiving Google Trends:
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and chances are you’ve already been Googling a LOT of holiday-related nonsense. Like, “how to make Thanksgiving food” or “how to un-invite Uncle Rick without him getting mad?” Google Trends has released some data on what people have been “Thanksgiving Googling” so far, and here are a few highlights . . .
1) A lot of people want recipes for potato dishes, but some things are more popular in certain states, compared to others.
California is looking for potato tacos (???) . . .
Maine is Googling potato donuts . . .
Georgia is cooking the Irish dish colcannon, which is usually potatoes and cabbage . . .
And Tennessee is planning on whipping up some POTATO CANDY. (???)
2) Pies are also a common Google search, and once again, there’s the SPECIAL states . . .
Oregon is looking for tamale pie . . .
Pennsylvania has shoofly pie on the menu . . .
Louisiana is making Mississippi mud pie . . .
And Nebraska is REALLY mixing things up with FRITO CHILI PIE.
3) Overall, Texas has been the state with the MOST Thanksgiving-related searches so far.
4) Of all dishes, people are searching for green bean casserole the most. Which I think suggests that’s the one we NEVER make unless it’s Thanksgiving.
