Pickles Are The Most Popular Burger Topping in America
As National Cheeseburger Day approaches, we take a look at how America likes to eat its cheeseburger.
Food
It’s National Cheeseburger Day on September 18 and to be honest, we love it that much that we’re secretly wishing that it was National Cheeseburger Week. Now we’re not saying that you guys should start a petition or anything, but if you did, and National Cheeseburger Week became a thing, then we’d be obliged to observe it here at National Today out of our duty to the calendar and the wishes of the people.
How do you like your cheeseburger?
Different people enjoy their burgers in different ways, but according to a survey by Grubhub, the preferred topping in America is pickles. It’s definitely a divisive ingredient that, whether they love it or hate it, people tend to be very passionate about, but the results suggest that more people really do love pickles on their burgers. Tomatoes came second, followed by lettuce, then onions, and then bacon. We’ll take all of the above, please.
Cheese on your burger?
This is National Cheeseburger Day we are talking about so the answer is obviously yes, but what kind of cheese does America want on its burger? American cheese of course. Yep, the same survey saw American Cheese come out as the nation’s preferred choice, followed by cheddar, Swiss, provolone, and Pepper Jack.
Would you like any sauce with that?
Perhaps more surprising is America’s first choice of sauce atop their cheeseburger. Whilst we just assumed it would be ketchup, it is in fact mayonnaise. Ketchup came in second and mustard third. Whilst the previous answers were to be expected, that one really is a turn up for the books.
So to summarise, America’s burger comes with pickles, a slice of American cheese, and mayonnaise. Well, it probably has some tomatoes, lettuce, and onions too. That sounds pretty darn tasty, right?. Now, how far did we get with National Cheeseburger Week again?
