Few American restaurants have held the country’s attention quite like McDonald’s has, from the fast food chain’s humble beginnings in San Bernadino to the current juggernaut that spans the globe with more than 41,000 restaurants.
Still, Americans far and wide have their menu item de jour, ranging in complexity from the shoestring-thin French fries McDonald’s is known for to its “Big Mac” double cheeseburger.
In Arizona, the restaurant has an extra layer of hometown support, with the first drive-thru concept built in Sierra Vista to service Army members that weren’t supposed to be off base in their military uniforms. Therefore, it’s likely of little surprise Arizonans have a tight bond with the fast food chain.
Utilizing Google Trends, BetArizona.com took a break from Arizona sportsbooks news and analyzed the most popular McDonald’s menu items of Arizona residents by looking at the search results “McDonald’s” over the last 12 months (April 2023 to April 2024).
