Upwards of 50,000 Tweets were collected nationally, and Washingtonians were not alone in venting their dislike of cranberry sauce. Seventeen other states also didn’t like it, including many in the Northeast. The next most reviled side was green bean casserole at 12 states and nine for stuffing.

This is not to say this is a definitive look at local Thanksgiving tastes. It may just reveal that the type of people who hate cranberry sauce are also the type who would vent about it on Twitter. Perhaps Washington fans of it don’t use Twitter as often.
