July marks National Ice Cream Month and if you're looking for some flavor inspiration, Instacart has got wheels turning in one sweet swirl of flavors.
The online grocery delivery and pick-up service looked at what flavor each state buys more of "than the national average," Laurentia Romaniuk, Instacart trends expert, told FOX Business.
"While nearly half the country prefers the most popular flavor — vanilla — chocolate is also a hot contender with 15 states on the East Coast buying the indulgent flavor more than anyone else," Romaniuk said.

"Notably, mint chip and coffee ice cream win the hearts of four states each, while rocky road and moose tracks entice the palates of three states. And finally, our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., stands out by favoring strawberry ice cream, setting it apart from the rest of the nation," she continued, adding that with heatwaves affecting most Americans lately, ice cream may do the trick.
To determine its findings, Instacart’s purchase data was evaluated from June 2022 to May 2023 featuring thousands of different ice cream products and uncovered which ice cream flavor each state buys the most compared to the nation overall.
