2021 is the year of the lime, at least as far as Columbus grocery shoppers are concerned.
What's happening: Instacart released its 2021 Delivered report on the most popular grocery items in cities across America.
- We love our limes here, apparently, ordering them more than most other places.
- Other popular items include peppers, whole wheat bread and perch fillets.
Some other interesting trends:
🥗 After a tough 2020, shoppers ditched the deli salads on their 2021 orders.
🍔 But we do enjoy plant-based meat, ordering it more than 62% of other cities.
🍌 We ordered enough bananas to stack as high as 1,774 Ohio Statehouses.
🍦 The most popular ice cream flavor is cookies & creme. (We knew you all had good taste.)
🍷 The most popular drinks in various cities include moscato in Columbus; pinot grigio in Dublin and Hilliard; pinot noir in New Albany; and sauvignon blanc in Upper Arlington.
🥚 Grove City's most popular drink, however, was eggnog. What is going on down there?
💝 While most cities saw spikes in flower bouquets around Valentine's Day, those in Westerville opted for dog treats and frozen pasta meals. Priorities, priorities.
