Today is "Pi Day," because . . . well, you should know this if you've paid attention in math class . . . the first three digits of the "number" pi are 3.14. (It continues 3.1415926535 . . . and so on.)
Since there's not much else to say about that pi, people are talking about the other, more DELICIOUS type of pie.
Instacart just revealed its most-ordered pies on the platform . . . and not surprisingly, apple is #1. 29% of all pie deliveries are APPLE pies.
Here's the rest of the Top 10:
2. Pumpkin pie, 23%
3. Pecan pie, 9%
4. Cherry pie, 8%
5. Lemon meringue pie, 6%
6. Blueberry pie, 5%
7. Chocolate pie, 4%
8. Key lime pie, 4%
9. Peach pie, 3%. (Technically, "Other Pies" also had 3% here.)
10. Sweet potato pie, 2%.
Another report from Google Trends looked at the most-searched "easy" and "gourmet" pie RECIPES, and then broke it down by the favorite in each state.
In the "easy" category, "chicken pot pie" is popular in most of the Midwest and South Central U.S., plus California. "Shepherd's pie" is big in Florida, New York, and out West. And a few northern states looked for "peanut butter pie."
In the "gourmet" category, the Central U.S., plus California, Alaska, and North Carolina are searching for "coconut custard pie." Out West, people want some gourmet pecan . . . and the Midwest is still looking for "chicken pot pie" and "shepherd's pie."
