Supplementary notes

*The source calculated the score by analyzing Google Trends data for 2019. The Google explanation of the popularity scores, as presented by the source, is:
Values are calculated on a scale from 0 to 100, where 100 is the location with the most popularity as a fraction of total searches in that location, a value of 50 indicates a location which is half as popular. A value of 0 indicates a location where there was not enough data for this term.
Note: A higher value means a higher proportion of all queries, not a higher absolute query count. So a tiny country where 80% of the queries are for “bananas” will get twice the score of a giant country where only 40% of the queries are for “bananas”.
The source only analyzed U.S. cities with more than 100 thousand inhabitants.
