Analyzing Each States Top Google Search in 2016
(NEWSER) — Using Google Trends, Estately looked back at 2016 in Google searches to determine what each state googled more often than any other state during this “absolute garbage year.”
Every year this type of map comes out, and every year it’s a must-look.
Without further adieu, here are my favorites:
Oklahoma — Kevin Durant Decision: He left you for a prettier woman. Accept it already.
Idaho — How did Trump win?: You tell me.
Ohio — 3–1 Lead: Companies in Ohio need to ban workplace “3–1 Lead” Google searches.
California — 2016 worst year ever?: California being dramatic per usual.
Alabama — Mannequin Challenge: Nothing lost its luster quicker than the Mannequin Challenge, but the fine residents of Alabama took initiative and brought some much-needed creativity to the viral video with over 20 Guns!
Too bad they were arrested for gun possession all in the name of #content.
Utah — Gilmore Girls: The state of Utah is like a foreign country — entertainment gets hot in the Mormon streets about 10 years after the rest of the United States.
Quick Hitters:
Kansas — LGBT: Every single person in Kansas had to Google LGBT to find out what it stood for in 2016.
Alaska — Pizzagate: I don’t know what Pizzagate is, but it sounds much more interesting and delicious than Deflategate.
Missouri — McDonald's Breakfast All Day: The biggest news story of the year in Missouri is now all the fat residents of the Show-Me State can get themselves a 4PM McMuffin.
