Montana Picked Rice Krispies as Its Favorite Cereal Somehow
When's the last time you had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, or any time of day, for that matter? It's been a minute, but golly, I love cereal. My hottest cereal take is that cereal is better without milk.
That's right. I would rather eat Cookie Crisp, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or Cap'n Crunch by the dry handfuls. Milk makes it soggy, and I don't need soggy cereal.
As I'm typing this story out, I just put down "CEREAL" on my shopping list.
Montana's Favorite Cereal is Rice Krispies
Concordia-St. Paul in Minnesota conducted a study using Google Trends data to determine every state's favorite cereal.
"To explore how tastes vary by location, we analyzed Google Trends data to identify the most‑searched‑for cereal in every U.S. state and Washington, D.C., between January 2025 and January 2026. The results offer a look at national habits, while opening the door to a broader conversation about nutrition and everyday health choices." - CSP
