What is the most beloved brand in your state? New survey has the answers

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP/NEXSTAR) – A new survey from MarketBeat asked more than 3,000 people to identify the products that inspire the most state pride.

Those selected to conduct the survey were chosen based on their gender, age, and geography. MarketBeat also used internal data sources to establish population benchmarks in order to align with the broader U.S. population accurately.

According to the survey, a healthy mix of food, apparel, and other various types of brands were chosen to represent each of the 50 U.S. states.

Some notable choices include California and the iconic In-N-Out Burger, which was chosen as the brand that best represents them.

Hershey’s Chocolate was chosen for Pennsylvania, Coca-Cola for Georgia, and Starbucks for Washington.

Several states had ice cream brands chosen as the top brand in their state, like Blue Bunny in Iowa, Blue Bell in Texas, Ben & Jerry’s in Vermont, and Yarnell’s in Arkansas.

Some non-food brands included PING Golf in Arizona, Tiffany & Co. in New York, and Louisville Slugger Baseball Bats in Kentucky.
