Americans consume 7 BILLION hot dogs between Memorial Day and Labor Day every year. And a chunk of that went down over the past few days. So what was the most interesting hot dog request at YOUR cookout?
Google Trends put out some data on hot dog-related searches . . . for the most “uniquely” popular hot dog styles in each state. A “chili dog” was #1 in 12 states, including Pennsylvania, Colorado, and almost all of the Southeast.
A lot of states chose regionally themed dogs, like: Chicago Hot Dog in Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio . . . but NOT Illinois. Korean Hot Dogs were #1 in Utah, Oregon, Nevada, and Minnesota . . . Mexican Dogs in Wyoming . . . Colombian Dogs in Florida . . . Sonoran Hot Dogs in Arizona . . . and Italian Dogs in New Jersey.
Some went REALLY local. Michigan searches “Michigan Hot Dogs,” and Kansas wants “Kansas City Hot Dogs.” And California likes Street Hot Dogs.
There are even stranger results. Illinois and Missouri like “Carrot Hot Dogs” . . . Connecticut searches for “Hot Dog Jello” . . . Hawaii likes Waffle Hot Dogs . . . and people in South Dakota are looking for recipes for Hot Dog Bean Soup. On the flipside, Maine went really boring, searching for “Grilled Hot Dog.”
