This might be the most important ranking of the states all year.

For some reason, a career website called Zippia just released the results of a study ranking all 50 states by how much they love pickles.

The rankings are based on things like the states’ cucumber production . . . the number of searches for recipes involving pickles . . . and overall Google searches for pickles.

The 10 states that love pickles the most are:  Maine . . . Vermont . . . North Dakota . . . South Dakota . . . West Virginia . . . Arkansas . . . Minnesota . . . Mississippi . . . Kentucky . . . and Wisconsin.

And the 10 that love pickles the least are:  Hawaii . . . Nevada . . . Florida . . . New Jersey . . . Arizona . . . Maryland . . . South Carolina . . . Connecticut . . . New York . . . and Colorado.
