There something about a great snack food that just hits right, especially when watching a big game or snacking during work. Snacks offer not only a tasty little pick-me-up, but they can also help offer fuel to get you through a long day. Every state has it own, special types of foods, so it makes sense that every state would have its own favorite snack food. So, what's the most popular snack food in this state?

Tasty Snack Food Options in Nevada

Before we get to our state, what's the most popular snack food in the U.S.? According to Cozy Meal, it's simply M&M’s. "These days, this popular snack has a thousand variants in any candy aisle," they note, adding that "you can find them filled with caramel, pretzel, peanut butter and a revolving selection of seasonal and limited-time fillings. And before there were dozens of new M&M’s flavors, the now-humble Peanut M&M's had their devotees, too."

In Cozy Meal's study, No. 2 is Cheez-Its and No. 3 is Oreos. These are totally classic snack foods, and it's no surprise that they're considered among the most popular across the United States.

But, what about Nevada, specifically? The Takeout has a feature out naming the most popular snack food in each state. "Part comfort, part curiosity, and part memory-making magic, snacks are so much more than just filling your belly," they note in the piece. They add to "toss a bag of local chips in the backseat, crack open a soda you can only find in one state, or unwrap something sweet with hometown pride, and suddenly you're not just passing through — you're tasting the culture."

So, what's the most popular and iconic snack food in this state? It's Popcorn Girl Popcorn, which totally makes sense. "Las Vegas has its showgirls, but there is a new girl in town: Popcorn Girl," the Takeout says. "A local-owned shop popping up flavors ranging from jalapeño ranch to s'mores (each guaranteed to make you go mmmmm), its mix-and-match options are as over-the-top as the Las Vegas Strip itself."
