The Go To Snack Illinois Residents Eat When Dealing with Breakups
We have all been there, the breakup and the aftermath in dealing with it. Some of us just bounce right back, others take some tie, but according to a Google Trend search, Illinois residents seem to eat one snack in particular when dealing with a breakup.

It's not chocolate, ice cream, or any sort of candy, the winner is....popcorn. yeah, kinda surprised me too. Out of everything you could possibly search to eat during a breakup, Illinois residents eat popcorn. Maybe because you can add to it, flavors, candy, chocolate, extra butter, or maybe it's simple and cheap. Whatever the case based on a google trends search, popcorn is the go-to snack for Illinois.
For Missouri, candy is the top search and for Iowa grilled cheese, thank goodness I don't live in Iowa you know how much I dislike cheese. It seems the southern states like North and South Carolina like milkshakes, whereas, Arkansas likes chicken noodle soup, and Delaware indulges in french toast.
Personally, I haven't dealt with a breakup for about 20 years, but I remember I would just eat everything I had in site no matter what it was. I think one time I was so upset I ate four slices of bread, don't worry I worked out extra after that.
