Top 10 Foods/Drinks Comsumed By Americans

The #1 on this list of food is the hamburger. Honestly, I’m not surprised at all because out of all the beef commercially served hamburgers make up 71% of it.  Altogether, Americans eat 13 billion hamburgers a year, which is enough to circle the earth 13 times!

Number 2 happens to be hotdogs. Hotdogs are part of the 4^th of July tradition, and the average American is said to consume 50 hot dogs a year!

French fries are the 3^rd most popular food in America. I mean, what’s a burger without some fries? They make up one-fourth of all potatoes sold in the US, and Americans eat 2 million tons of fries per year (probably because of the fast food industry).

Number 4 is surprisingly Oreos! Who would’ve thought?! About 7.5 billion Oreos are consumed each year, and they’re so popular that they are part of other favorite foods such as milkshakes and ice cream. In America it is the top selling packaged cookie.

Pizza is number 5 on the list. Funny ‘cause pizza didn’t even originate in America! About 3 million pizzas are sold every year and 94% of Americans eat it regularly. We’ve even made October national pizza month which is funny because I had pizza for dinner!

Pop makes number six on the list. On average Americans consume 1 glass of pop per day. This isn’t so good since sugary drinks like pop lead to obesity, and there are 22 teaspoons of sugar in a pop.

Number seven on the list is chicken tenders or chicken nuggets. Chicken tenders are served at a lot of American restaurants including many fast food places.  

Ice cream makes it as number 8! Americans have dedicated July as national ice cream and we are top ice cream consumers worldwide because we eat about 48 pints of ice cream per person per year!  In 2013 it was recorded that the top 15 ice cream flavors start with vanilla then chocolate, butter pecan, strawberry, Neapolitan, chocolate chip, french vanilla, cookies and cream, vanilla fudge ripple, praline pecan, cherry, chocolate almond, coffee, rocky road, and last but not least chocolate marshmallow.

Doughnuts make it on the list as number nine. 344,700 doughnuts are produced each week in the US. There are more than 10 million made every year and the US Doughnut industry is worth about 3.6 billion dollars. Also, in America the first Friday of June is celebrated as National Doughnut Day.    

Number ten on this list is potato chips. People in America eat about 1.2 billion pounds of potato chips per year and the most popular flavors are onion, sour cream, and barbecue.
