As I get older I get more and more fascinated with food statistics. I like finding out how popular foods are in the United States and in the rest of the world. Many times on my YouTube channel I have done long live streams where I chatted with my followers about my favorite worldwide foods. In this article, I focus on the Top 10 most popular foods in America. This is not an exhaustive list and is somewhat subjective, the term “popular” in and of it self is slightly subjective but has objective data to back it up. I pulled the data from many different sources (cited) and other lists, but looking at the list I tend to agree. Also, I will include links to recipes that I have for each of those items on this list. That way you can make your own if you want. Especially if you live outside of the US and want to try making one of the most popular foods in America at home. And for the most part, all of these foods are pretty easy to make. Let’s get started! If you like desserts, check out the most popular desserts in America list.

Top 10 Most Popular Foods in America – Number 10 Potato Chips

It is not surprising to see that potato chips made the list. Everywhere I go, parties, etc. I see potato chips. At the supermarket, there are rows and rows of chips and several different flavors of potato chips. According to Statista in 2020, 284.37 million Americans ate potato chips. That is an insane amount of potato chips. Do you want to know another country that eats a lot of potato chips? France! Who knew? Potato chips originated in the United States, but happy to see the people of France love them almost as much as we do here in the US. Want to learn how to make thin crispy potato chips at home?

Ever since I was a little kid, I enjoyed eating donuts. Walking to the local donut shop and picking up a few, or a dozen, haha. Such an amazing thing to eat for breakfast or a treat throughout the day. Here in the United States, it is easy to find a donut shop, Krispy Kreme, Winchell’s, Dunkin’, etc. According to this article, over 10 billion donuts are consumed in the US every year!

Number 8 – Ice Cream

Coming in at number 8 is ice cream. Another childhood favorite of mine. I have fond memories of going to the Thrifty store and getting a scoop of Thrifty brand ice cream with my family. My favorite flavor back then was Chocolate Malted Crunch. The average American consumes a whopping 23 pounds of ice cream and other related frozen desserts in a year. The most popular flavors being Vanilla first, then Chocolate. I do love some ice cream! Learn how to make this chocolate ice cream in a bag or this 3-ingredient vanilla ice cream.

Next up on the list number 7, chicken tenders. Whether you get McDonald’s chicken McNuggets, Chick-fil-A nuggets, or many other varieties, Americans love their chicken tenders. With that said according to this article that may not always be the case. There appears to be a decline for those tasty chicken morsels. I haven’t seen it though, it still seems to be one of the most popular meals for kids when parents go to Fast Food restaurants.

Would you like a drink with that?

An all too common phrase we have grown accustomed to here in the United States and many other places around the world. Coming in at the number 6 spot for the most popular foods in America is Soda. People everywhere not just in the US, can’t get enough of their sugary soda. I am not a normal person I guess, I don’t drink hardly any soda.

Just how popular is soda here in the US? According to this article, the average American drinks 45 gallons of pop/soda every year. Which is roughly 470 cans, well over 1 can of soda every day. Is it safe to say, Americans have a soda addiction?

Coca-Cola has been the number 1 soda in the US and around the world for decades.

Up next is the wildly popular food, pizza. I can see why it ranks number 5 of the top 10 most popular foods in America. I have many fond memories making and buying and eating pizza with friends and family. My family used to drive to Little Caesar’s and get a couple of pizzas as well as rent a movie at the next-door movie rental place. I have definitely eaten my fair share of pizza over the years. Pizza is actually one of my favorite foods when I feel like splurging. According to this article, Americans eat a whopping 3 Billion pizzas per year with the average American eating around 40 pizzas a year. What is the most popular pizza topping?

At number 4 on the most popular foods in America list we have Oreo cookies. These versatile sandwich cookies are simply amazing. Wether you eat them plain or dip them in milk, or use them in many different recipes, you can’t go wrong with them. Oreos aren’t my favorite cookie but I definitely enjoy them. I use them as an ingredient in my desserts quite a bit. And if you love Oreos and you love chocolate, you will love these Oreo Pops. Just how popular are Oreos? According to Statista, 71.26 Million Americans ate Oreos in 2020. That is a heap ton of Oreos. I know I ate several or used them in recipes a lot during that time.

Number 3 Most Popular Foods in America are French Fries

Time for the 3rd most popular foods in America, French Fries. I couldn’t agree more, I absolutely love French fries. I loved them as a kid and still love them. Honestly, anything potato is awesome, but French Fries are the best potato dish in my opinion. Nearly every fast food restaurant and many diners/restaurants serve a version of French fries. According to this article, Americans eat almost 30 pounds of French Fries each year! And Belgians eat even more, 1/3rd more. Which restaurant in America sells the most? You guessed it, McDonald’s.

The Number 1 Most Popular Foods in America are Hamburgers!

Oh yes, oh yes, Hamburgers are the number 1 most popular foods in America. Surprised? I am not. I am slightly addicted to eating hamburgers. If I had it my way, I would probably eat one every day, haha. Homemade burgers are my preference, but I definitely don’t mind fast food burgers, especially Wendy’s and Five Guys, which are two of my favorite places to go. Sorry McDonalds! And it is hard to be a good sit down burger joint when you have the time, and are willing to pay extra. Many households in the US grill burgers and hot dogs all year around and especially on Holidays like Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day. According to Yahoo and the USDA, Americans eat an average of 2.4 hamburgers a day, or 50 Billion burgers each year. I definitely don’t eat that many, but apparantley many Americans do.
