        I have 0 level of trust for any information from this website.

        Agreed. What makes it particularly odd is their command description:

        Zippia is a website that helps you discover new jobs and career paths that are right for you. We rigorously analyze public data sets, millions of resumes, and millions of current job postings to produce comprehensive rankings and profiles of companies.

        First off, because random ice cream consumption figures doesn’t seem particularly relevant to their main mission. And secondly, because they’re supposedly experts in data analysis but they suck at it.

    Their rankings were based on how many customers went to ice cream shops. Nothing about how much ice cream was purchased in grocery stores or other non-ice cream specialty locales.

    Weak.

        It is per capita:

        Gravy Analytics used location intelligence to compare consumer attendances at ice cream venues nationwide, from January 2017 to March 2018. They then compared population number to determine which states eat the most ice cream for their size.
