Lunchables a meal state likes to hate
Must have been something missing in our school lunches as kids.
Hater, the dating app that matches people based on things they hate, continues to mine its database, this time to find out which food was hated the most in each state, as compared to the rest of Hater’s worldwide user base.
For Wisconsin? According to Hater, we hate Lunchables, those minisized meals that feature build-your-own pizzas or ham and cheese crackers.
Maybe we’re still bitter that Oscar Mayer, which makes Lunchables, left Wisconsin two years ago.
Or maybe the adults who use the app outgrew their taste for gradeschool lunches.
On the other hand, based on Hater’s data, Wisconsinites probably aren’t going to be paired up with people from states like South Dakota, Vermont and Illinois, which all express disdain for cheese.
Specifically, South Dakota hates expensive cheese plates, while Vermont hates spray cheese. Illinois still hates when people bite string cheese, which also turns out to be the thing people in Illinois hate most overall.
Nevada most hates Wisconsin-based LaCroix, although they probably don’t know how to pronounce it anyway.
Some states hate whole fast-food chains. According to Hater, California, obsessed with InN-Out Burger, hates Chick-fil-A. The “Chipotle is my life” meme probably isn’t as relatable to people in Alabama, which puts that chain at the top of the foods it loves to hate.
People in Montana will experience a special form of torture in the coming months: According to Hater, the people using the dating app in that state hate pumpkin spiced anything.
Some of the scorned foods make sense geographically. Kansas, right in the middle of the country, hates shellfish. Texas, where they take their cattle very seriously, hates steak cooked well-done. And Washington state, home of Starbucks, hates Keurig Kcups.
