Before we jump into that, I did find it interesting that “Wendy’s is the most common state favorite in the dataset, finishing #1 in six different states,” said Visual Capitalist. Also, another point is that “Sonic, the largest drive-in restaurant chain in America, is right behind as the favorite in five states.”

Let’s face it, fast food is popular because of the convenience and, depending on the location, the price of the meals. Also, because there are fan favorite meals.
