When it comes to food, people in different parts of the U.S. have some very different ideas. New Yorkers and Chicagoans don’t see eye-to-eye on pizza. When it comes to chili, people from Cincinnati disagree with pretty much everyone.
However, french fries are one of the foods that can unite people no matter where they’re from.

Spruce, which is a company that produces CBD products, recently analyzed Google Trends data to determine the most popular fast food fries and most popular style of french fries in each state.
It may be no surprise that the most popular fry comes from the chain that brags about “billions served.” McDonald’s had the top fries in 16 states. And those states were geographically spread across the country, from New England to the Midwest to the West Coast to Hawaii.

Burger King and Taco Bell were tied with six states each for the second-most popular fry. However, Taco Bell’s nacho fries were recently pulled from its menus. The good news for T-Bell fans is that the restaurant’s website states that the nacho fries “come and go,” so there’s a good chance they will return at some point.
Arby’s and Popeyes also made respectable showings with four states each.

There were several states that stood alone with their favorite fries. Texas stands by Whataburger, while New York favors Shake Shack.
Spruce also looked at the most popular styles of fries in each state. Broken down regionally, the Midwest was split between waffles fries and curly fries. The South was all-in on waffle fries. The West was also split, but between curly fries and cheese fries. The Northeast favored home fries.
