LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Super Bowl LX is less than a month away, and every year living rooms across America transform into mini stadiums – TV blaring, jerseys on, couches full – and whether your team wins or loses, your snack game will decide whether your party becomes legendary or whether your guests quietly slip out to order pizza.
This year, Instacart decided to get in on the action. They dove into last year’s Super Bowl weekend sales and uncovered the most popular Super Bowl food purchases across the country – and let’s just say, some choices were expected.
- Tortilla Chips
- Potato Chips
- Ranch Dressing
- Salsa
- Canned Diced Tomatoes
- Puff Chips
- Scallions
- Roma Tomatoes
- Queso
- French Onion Dip
Other popular purchases ahead of Super Bowl Sunday included Buffalo sauce, frozen chicken wings, and hot sauce.
Instacart didn’t stop at the big list—they also uncovered what different parts of the country reach for when the whistle blows:
- Chicken wings dominated the Midwest, Florida, and Alaska.
- Buffalo sauce rules New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
- French onion dip is practically required in California and Arizona.
- Queso is the pride of the Northwest, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
- Beef sausage makes a big showing in the Midwest.
- And the South? They’re stocking up on processed cheeses like it’s a competitive sport—Texas through Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado are all in.
So here’s your friendly warning – if your Super Bowl party doesn’t feature at least some of these crowd‑pleasers, you might spark a full‑on fan riot before halftime.
