America's Favorite Snacks

Who doesn't like snacks? Well, according to Statista's Global Consumer Survey, 39% don't, but we're going to ignore these people for the time being. As this infographic shows, Cookies are the most popular snack food, with 59 percent of snackers saying they eat the sugary comfort food regularly. Potato chips came in a close second (58 percent), far ahead of their healthier vegetable cousins at just 24 percent.

Aside from dried fruits, pretty much every other type of snack seems to get its fair share of time on the table, with ice cream, sweets and nuts among the list of America's favorite snacks. In terms of frequency, 51 percent of people who eat snacks say they do so several times a week, while a quarter indulge daily. Unsurprisingly, after 8pm is the most popular time for snacks, for 6 percent say they eat them in the morning before 6am.
