Whether it’s called "stuffing" or "dressing," Americans appear to be split on the popular Thanksgiving side dish.
The crumbly, starchy side has been a top searched term on Google in the last month as the holiday draws closer, according to search data collected by Google Trends, a search engine analytics platform.
Researchers from Google News Initiative – a news-focused data parser – created an infographic based on each state's "uniquely searched stuffing."
