What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAOL and Parade Magazine both ran a map of the most popular Chick-fil-A item in every state, based on Google Trends, and I have been watching it frame by frame since dinner.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt is a list of what people searched. That is the entire experiment.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLook at the map here. Every state made a choice, and some of them committed to it. That is elite sandwich discipline.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentCommitted. They typed words into a search box.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd that is the turning point, because the whole country looked at a menu and some states still went rogue. Zero hesitation.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFinal score, then. The map gets a solid average, and I am keeping a list of your analysis errors.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentTonight's secret price for you, Kenji, is that full list.
