I thought the board would like Ohio’s answer!
Here are the most Googled queries in each state around Christmastime - BGR

Michigan: “Amazon.com”
Ohio: “Where to buy coal”
Some others are interesting as well.

Ohio: "Do you need a condom if you're related?"
December 24th, 2018 at 12:51 AM ^
Why google amazon.com instead of simply entering it into the address bar?
December 24th, 2018 at 6:54 AM ^
Clearly you haven't met my Aunt Betsy.
December 24th, 2018 at 9:46 AM ^
My mom Google's google
December 24th, 2018 at 8:19 AM ^
Chrome browser with Google as homepage - entering "amazon.com" in the address bar is the same as searching
December 24th, 2018 at 9:08 AM ^
Right? Googling Amazon? Don’t you first have to google “yahoo.com” and then search for Amazon?
Life was so much easier when I could just Ask Jeeves.
December 24th, 2018 at 9:55 AM ^
I imagine shoppers are typing in the item they are looking for + amazon into Google. Then the report just group all of those search items into “amazon.com.”
December 24th, 2018 at 10:11 AM ^
Wait...wut? Sounds complicated.
December 24th, 2018 at 12:54 AM ^
I call BS, porn is the #1 searched thing on google, in all 50 states, 365 days a year.
And why are people going to google to search for Amazon?
December 24th, 2018 at 8:45 AM ^
I am superhuman, but really, I can't be googling from all 50 states simultaneously.
December 24th, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
Private mode bruh.
December 24th, 2018 at 11:58 AM ^
Also, use the porn sites search engine. No need to use google.com for that. Their auto fills are... helpful.
December 24th, 2018 at 1:10 AM ^
“Step mom”
December 24th, 2018 at 7:52 AM ^
December 24th, 2018 at 8:48 AM ^
Well that's kind of ironic, then, isn't it? I mean you'd imagine it'd be hot if they were hot, or cool if they were cool, according to my last physics class, at least.
December 24th, 2018 at 1:14 AM ^
Speaking for myself, I have been googling how to put together various toys.
December 24th, 2018 at 1:53 AM ^
Sex toys? <heavy breathing>
December 24th, 2018 at 8:29 AM ^
Calm down Zach...
December 24th, 2018 at 1:16 AM ^
Ha, so California's is "Is Starbucks open on Christmas." I just had a twenty minute discussion with my wife about whether In and Out Burger would be open on XMAS, as we are driving to Southern California after opening presents.
December 24th, 2018 at 5:26 AM ^
"Amazon.com"? I'm surprised so many people don't have that bookmarked...
December 24th, 2018 at 5:30 AM ^
Alaska, "What is Christmas" lol! Bunch of heathens! Planet Fitness hours in PA? Doubt it!
December 24th, 2018 at 6:26 AM ^
Oh no, Texas.
December 24th, 2018 at 6:45 AM ^
I believe there’s an autocorrect error for Ohio’s. Should be;
”Where to buy cooler”
Everyone deserves a nice, new, clean shitter for Christmas. Right, Clark?
December 24th, 2018 at 6:48 AM ^
#1 in Ann Arbor: top offensive coordinators.
December 24th, 2018 at 6:49 AM ^
Reindeer boobs didn't make the list?
December 24th, 2018 at 11:33 AM ^
It's gonna make the list in Washington now. Thanks.
December 24th, 2018 at 7:19 AM ^
Rhode Island: Tinder. Because hormones don't take holidays.
December 24th, 2018 at 7:32 AM ^
Colorado has a drinking problem.
December 24th, 2018 at 7:49 AM ^
Why would anyone google “amazon.com?” It’s faster to either 1) click the Amazon link in your favorites bar or 2) use command/control L and type amazon.com.
EDIT: I see I am not the only one confused.
December 24th, 2018 at 8:22 AM ^
Command L... I just learned something!
MGoBlog ROCKS!!!!
December 24th, 2018 at 8:29 AM ^
Keyboard commands are the way to go. They’re much faster than using the mouse or track pad. I recommend researching them online. You don’t need to learn all of them (I don’t know all of them), but think of the things you do most when browsing (or working) and see if there are keyboard commands for that. The keyboard makes my job get done quicker, too. Basically, the command/control button is your best friend when using keyboard commands.

Massachusetts - Eggnog alcohol recipe
I prefer apple pie moonshine
December 24th, 2018 at 8:10 AM ^
West Virginia...wow.
My state (NC) doesn't know what Christmas is and GA and SC are trying to shop on Christmas. We all getting kicked out of the bible belt this year!
December 24th, 2018 at 8:11 AM ^
How has no one mentioned the Texas result? Thats the best one in my opinion.
December 24th, 2018 at 8:12 AM ^
If these results are real (very highly questionable) then it just shows the intelligence level across the US. I call BS though.
December 24th, 2018 at 8:18 AM ^
1. This survey was allegedly taken by some outfit called "satelliteinternet.com," which appears to be simply a consortium of satellite internet providers. For the US, there's only two.
2. "Instead, we gathered a list of popular Christmas-related internet searches and used Google Trends to match those searches with the states googling them on December 25, 2017."
3. Any survey claiming that searching for coal isn't #1 in West Virginia instead of Ohio, and that searching for Wal-Mart isn't #1 in Arkansas, where it's based, is bunk.
4. Any survey alleging that porn isn't the #1 search everywhere in the country is even bigger bunk.
December 24th, 2018 at 8:23 AM ^
Do you have survey results to back up your claims of bunk?
December 24th, 2018 at 9:38 AM ^
In 2015, the top five states for residential coal heating were Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana.
Ohio has over 11.5 million people, and as of 2015 Ohio had less than 5000 homes heated with coal. Do you honestly believe it's likely that more people would be searching for where to buy coal than for dozens of other topics?

Maybe they are looking to buy it to put in Christmas stockings since they are all bad.
December 24th, 2018 at 8:31 AM ^
"Liquor stores open near me"
Colorado is a state after my own heart there.
Also, "Tinder", Rhode Island? Really?
December 24th, 2018 at 8:44 AM ^
TF is wrong with Wyoming? California isn't very surprising, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey have the right idea, but I'm calling Montana the winner, here.
December 24th, 2018 at 8:44 AM ^
Fart ingredients.
December 24th, 2018 at 9:13 AM ^
There is no way that Kentucky is searching for Planet Fitness hours. It’s the 46th “fittest” state in the union. I get that it’s a judgement free zone, but they’re only googling that to know when to avoid strip malls or something.
December 25th, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
Pretty sure most people actually consume more calories than they burn during a planet fitness "workout" so it all makes sense
December 24th, 2018 at 9:17 AM ^
Michigan and Florida are once again connected.
December 24th, 2018 at 9:36 AM ^
Porn, and more porn. Christmas-themed porn. More porn. And yet, more porn.
December 24th, 2018 at 11:07 AM ^
So I guess Hawaii doesn't have internet?
December 24th, 2018 at 11:36 AM ^
Id be more interested in pornhubs search results by state.
