Wow, not to ruin your day or anything but, have you thought about french fries yet today?
If you haven't, you sure are now. And now I think we're all going to have to go out and get some french fries. Why did I do this to myself?!
Anyway, have you ever had a serious debate with your friends regarding the best french fries around? We always loooove to argue why In N Out is the best burger, but usually it's followed by "but their fries aren't like McDonald's" or something along the lines.
If you want to put an end to the "best fries" argument, some lovely people at Spruce analyzed some Google Trends data to discover what the most sought-after french fry in each state is. And the results are, both surprising and unsurprising.
In shocking news, here in California the favorite fry apparently comes from Jack in the Box. And I'm not saying I don't love a good curly fry from Jack in the Box every once in a while, I just was surprised that it would be the #1 french fry for people of California.
I would have expected McDonald's - though that was a fan-favorite in 16 states, the most out of any one place. In second for the most states, Burger King and Taco Bell were tied. But I really don't think of Taco Bell as a french fry place so, I'm a big confused.
