Election Day Food Trends Show Pizza, Margaritas and Junk Food Rule
Election Day 2020 Pizza & Margaritas Reign Supreme For Voters Watching Results
The Presidential race is still undecided, but we DO have one clear Election Day winner ... and that's the pizza industry!
According to GrubHub ... 5 of its top 8 most popular items ordered Tuesday were pizzas, and another one was a pizza-adjacent appetizer -- garlic knots with marinara.
The popular food delivery app tells TMZ its most popular food item -- based on how much more it was ordered -- was the soppressata piccante pizza. That menu item saw a whopping 202% increase compared to other Tuesdays in October.
Right behind that was Nutella pizza -- which was 192% more popular -- followed by the first non-pizza food ... meatball sliders at 181%.
Rounding out the top 8 was burrata pizza, the aforementioned garlic knots, vegan cheese pizza, loaded curly fries and finally another pizza ... Sicilian.
Every good meal needs a stiff drink, and a margarita on the rocks actually ranked right behind the burrata pizza as one of GrubHub's most-ordered items ... with a 144% increase in popularity. Impressive, but Tres de Noviembre just doesn't roll off the tongue like Cinco de Mayo
Many folks opted for an even stiffer drink ... as the old-fashioned cocktail also saw a 121% rise on Election Day. We're guessing those were ordered late in the evening as the results started tightening up.
Those who had room after pizza and booze did order dessert -- tiramisu orders spiked 181% during dinner hours.
Based on the ongoing ballot counting drama, we say ... pass the margs, por favor!
