The Favorite Junk Foods For Louisiana And Texas Residents
It's no secret one of my favorite topics is food. I bet you can't guess Louisiana's favorite junk food, I think it's going to surprise you.
The website, Zippia.com, researched Google searches from all 50 states to find out what we are stuffing our faces with.

Three categories dominated their findings:
- potato chips were #1 in 13 states
- candy bars were #1 in 10 states
- and cookies were #1 in nine states
Who were the lamest states on the list? That dubious award goes to Alaska and its apparent love for granola bars. Coming in at a strong second is Wyoming and North Dakota, which are both obsessed with sunflower seeds.
One thing about the South is we love some amazing junk food. Take, for example, the states that border Louisiana:
- Texas' #1 junk food is Funyons
- Arkansas' #1 junk food is Doritos
- Mississippi's #1 junk food is Twinkies
All right, without further tooth decay...I mean delay, Louisiana's favorite junk food, according to our Google searches, is the PayDay candy bar. I gotta be honest, that surprised me. I figured it would be Zapp's chips, cracklins, or pork rinds.
