What's the most popular Super Bowl Food in your state?

Last week, Google Trends published the map below of the nation's most popular Super Bowl foods searched by state. Buffalo Chicken Dip has stolen the top spot from chicken wings in multiple states, surprisingly followed by cupcakes as a close second.

These are reasonable Super Bowl recipes to search. But salad, broccoli cheese soup, and pea & peppercorn mash?

Whereas Super Bowl has been known as much for the finger foods as it has for the actual game, we may be at a crossroads in the focus. Could it be that people are looking for healthier options? Or maybe they're just getting more creative with their potlucks.

From personal experience, I've noticed that a lot less people are planning to watch the Super Bowl this year, opting to ski, travel, or watch the Puppy Bowl instead. If this is the nationwide trend, then maybe people are searching non-traditional Super Bowl recipes because they're actively seeking ways to avoid getting wrapped up in the Big Game festivities this year.

Whatever the reason, please explain why so many people are searching for Lentil Soup Super Bowl recipes in Montana!?!
