Love of ice cream may be one of the few things Americans everywhere can agree on - until you start talking about flavors, at least.
While National Ice Cream Day was Sunday, which is a perfect time to celebrate your favorite flavor, although this summer every day may feel like an ice cream day, especially with the recent heat wave across New England.
Holiday Calendar conducted a study of the top five most popular ice cream flavors in each state, through analyzing grocery shopping data of over 12 million Americans, combined with a survey of 4,500 people across 15 states to supplement the findings.
Favorite ice cream flavor in Connecticut
When it comes to favorite ice cream flavors, Nutmeggers don't stray far from the beaten path.
Like many states, including its southern and western neighbor New York, Connecticut's most popular flavor is chocolate, followed by vanilla, the country's two most popular flavors. Its third and fourth most popular flavors (rocky road and strawberry) are tops in some states.
The number 5 flavor, mango, doesn't hit number one anywhere in the country, although it appears on the top five list of over 30 states.
- Chocolate
- Vanilla
- Rocky Road
- Strawberry
- Mango
Top flavors in the country
Vanilla came out on top in the nationwide average, being the first choice in 19 states. You can draw your own conclusions on what it may say that our nation's favorite flavor is also a synonym for boring or uninteresting.
Chocolate was a close second, being the favorite in 15 states, according to Holiday Calendar's map.
While they didn't have a nationwide list, the International Dairy Foods Association supported these findings with their own data released this week.
- Vanilla
- Chocolate
- Strawberry
- Butter Pecan
