Zinnia.com, a website for job seekers, recently analyzed Google Trends to determine each states favorite snack food.

It found that Oreos are the favorite in five states, sunflower seeds are popular in the Midwest and most of us prefer sweet over salty snacks.

In Pennsylvania, Zinnia determined that our favorite snack food is Hersheys.

We like that answer. Not only because it is local but also because there are a gazillion kinds of candy under Hersheys.

There, of course, are the obvious milk chocolate, dark chocolate, Hershey Kisses.

But the brand also includes miniatures, snack mixes, nuggets, syrups, Kit Kat, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Krackel, Mr. Goodbar, Hugs, Reeses Pieces, Twizzlers, Mounds, Almond Joy, York Peppermint Patties and the variations of some of those big peanut butter cups, little peanut butter cups, white chocolate peanut butter cups, Kisses with almonds, Cookies and Cream Kisses, Caramel Kisses and so on.

The study also found that Pringles, Fritos, Doritos, Cheez Its and Cheetos were popular along with Alaskas granola bars (really Alaska?).

Illinois likes Skinny Pop, Kansas likes Nutter Butter cookies and Michigan snackers are reaching for South Patch Kids.

Zinnia said it compiled the results after looking at 45 different favorite snack foods in Google Trends.

We, being sane reasonable humans, excluded gum and sodas from out pretend vending machine snack roulette. Hopefully, you dont swallow gum. Plus, liquid isnt a snack its a liquid. We then selected a range of popular chips, cookies, candies and a few other vending machine favorites.

I am moving to Montana their favorite is Rice Krispy Treats. Or Kentucky, I like Fritos, too.
