You enter a term, and through the magic of the internet, you can find out the relative amount each state searched for that term.

So far, VT is #1 for:  
Marijuana  
Cows  
Maple Syrup  
Hippies  
Subarus  
Female Orgasm

PA is first for “lesbian.” It also says there’s a positive correlation with unemployment. I guess if you don’t have a job, you have more time to look at porn.

Top for states searching for beer: PA, WI, MA, OH, MI  
Top five states searching for wine: CA, NY, WA, OR, DC

Hmmmmm.

The only thing I could find Michigan leading in was Kwame. D’oh. We suck.

Florida is apparently the nation’s leading consumer of porn.

By far, Minnesota takes first place for _Sweden_.

This seems backwards to me, unless I’m misunderstanding. I want to see what terms are popular for a particular state, not try to think of particular terms and see which states are most commonly associated with their use as a search term.

These same things – Pennsylvania and unemployment correlation – are also true of “snausages”, highly implying that I don’t want to know what y’all are doing with your dogs up there.

Washington and Oregon are tied for being all about the Ninjas. For Pirates, it’s Pennsylvania (and unemployment) again. Buncha bored jobless baseball-watching lesbian bestiality lovers, the lot of ya.

Georgia wins Coke; no surprises there. Pepsi’s stronghold is apparently Colorado by a wide margin, which I did not know.

This is interesting. I go now to kill a few otherwise-productive minutes. Thanks, SDMB! (Oddly enough, “SDMB” is most popular in Georgia. Who’da thunk?)

Oddly though, the yare first for Chipotle, quite surprising in a state where possesion of an more than an ounce of cumin is a felony.
