It’s National Cheeseburger Day. Here’s where you can bite into some juicy deals
Heads up, cheeseburger fans. It’s National Cheeseburger Day. The beloved American classic is celebrated today for all its warm, juicy, cheesy goodness.
It’s no surprise that the most common cheese slapped on burgers is American – 35 percent, according to survey by Offers.com. Coming in a close second is cheddar at 31 percent, followed by swiss (11 percent), and provolone and jack (9 percent each).
What is interesting is what people in different states like to add to their cheeseburgers. California’s favorite add-on is good, old-fashioned condiments. Arizona’s favorite is bacon. Hawaii likes avocado, and for some strange reason burger eaters in Maine prefer lettuce.
The Offers.com survey found 21 percent of Americans eat a cheeseburger once a week. So let this be the day. Grab some extra napkins and don’t be embarrassed to lick your fingers.
