1. Utah and Louisiana– lead the way in sales of both breaded and unbreaded chicken wings
2. Nebraska and South Dakota – ahead of the pack when it comes to frozen pizza pies
3. New Mexico and Virginia – prevail in the potato chip category
4. Kentucky and Louisiana – the dynamo in dip sales
5. South Dakota and Indiana – the superstars of the snack mixes
6. North and South Dakota – cheer for the mixed nuts
