Speaker 1 (00:00):
What do you like to eat when you go through
a breakup? It's the Jewbile show text in four one
oh six to one, And a new study is going
viral that says what the most popular breakup food is
by each state. So think about where you're from and
what you like to chow down on and cry when
you're going through a breakup. Tequila.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I don't eat when I'm going through a breakup.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
You know, like you just not eat and just drink
your feelings.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, because the my tummy hurts, So you just got
to drink your feelings.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Does that not make your tummy hurt later on? After
all the alcohol, I don't know, I get a little
vacation in my brain.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
So all is good?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Hey yo?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
In Arizona, the most popular breakup food item is potato chips.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Okay, yeah, salty always hits.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yeah it does if I need like a sweet with it,
but oh that's good too. Yeah. Oh well.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
And Montana they like chicken noodle soup.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Really sounds sad.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It sounds like that that sounds extra sad for some reason,
because that's what you usually you know, it's comfort food
when you're sick, right, But if you're going through a breakup,
I mean from Montana. Chicken noodle soup is the most
popular breakup food in Montana.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I don't know why right now, I'm just picturing I'm
dumping it out of a can.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Like that's even more sad.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Because they're alone too, in that empty slurping sound. Yeah,
cans just in there and they're just like my coucha
this chicken needles soup. Sorry, based foods indicate fatigue and
a need for internal repair.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh that makes sense. I love fuff for that.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
The state of Utah, the most popular breakup food is cookies.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yes, I love a good cookie.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's so predictable. Sweet bake goods indicate self soothing through
controlled indulgence.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Donuts. Oh yeah, I grab a donut. That's why I
look the way I look.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
But your breakup food and donuts, Yeah, I mean I
I don't really break up that often, but it's more
of a diet program what you.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Do on the daily to keep me.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
From eating the donuts after the breakups. Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
The state of Nevada, French fries is the most popular
breakup fruit food.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
That's solid.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Actually, I think french fry is the perfect food in general,
for any emotion you have that salty it's kind of hot,
so it's like, you know, maybe.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
You got a crunch.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
But if it's a waffle fry, those are the best.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Kinds and you're just getting that whole experience like a hug.
Oh Man, French fries for the emotions.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Are you one of those weirdos? Does the French fry
into the milkshake? It's so weird.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I don't do it often, but when I do it,
I am happy. Don't talk to me. My eyes are
rolling back of my head. Can I have that break?
Oh gosh, It.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Says the crunch from the French fries provides sensory grounding
when trust and others has collapsed. So I know they
really did like breaking down. I can't trust anybody else.
Just these French fries. It will always be here for me,
except I finished them and now they're.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
In Ohio.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
The most popular breakup food is grilled cheese.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Oh that's also a good choice.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
But see, I like it's much better when someone else
makes it for me, like I don't like to make
it myself.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Do you like it with that?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Would be extra sad for you, Victoria. If you're going
through a breakup making a grilled cheese sandwich because you
like someone else to make it for you, but there's
nobody there to make it for you.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So I would just go hungry, but the gooey cheese
would hold you.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
It's that people who like grilled cheese sandwiches like it
because this is an individual stabilizing emotionally through symmetry and
known textures.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Ooh yeah, because she got it. Cut it into the triangles, squares,
look weird triangles. That's where it's at.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
That sounds a little questionable now, sounds like a child.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Hey, oh the trucks.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I don't think I've ever actually eaten anything after a breakup.
I don't think I've sat down have been like I'm
just gonna I'm gonna eat this away.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Who has an appetite after a breakup is my question?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well, jubils relationships.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Also, I think after your breakups you'd be happy.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Usually go out with your friends and go get away
from things. I'm like, I can eat whatever I want.
I'm not being told what to eat. To talk.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
It's cool.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I just got high five.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Ye seriously, I'm free to be me. This is crazy.
This is what life is about.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Weight lifted off your shoulder.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, I'm in Connecticut. The favorite breakup food is pizza.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
I like that one.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah. I mean you don't even need to have a
breakup for pizza infects. Oh so true, the expert says
on this a communal food consumed alone suggests unresolved attachment patterns.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I don't know what that means. You need to get
a doctor on the line. That's a stretch.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I've never been through, like a real breakup. But do
they have a Texas on there.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I feel like I would really like some Bluebell ice cream,
Like I would really dive into a pine of that
if if if it hit me hard, I don't know
if I'm like.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
It's Friday night for me, So I don't I don't
need a breakup.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well, Victoria, you're from Texas, and Texas's top breakup food
is tacos.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
But see pair of some late like late night tacos
from like a really good spot with like some tequila
from the bar earlier.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I think I'd be pretty solid.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
It's like a normal weekend, but I'm like emotionally attached
something that's no longer there, Like that would do the.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Trick just I didn't need you anyway. I'm gonna go
back and doing what I was doing.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, if you're in Alabama. The favorite breakup food for Alabamaans, Alabamians, Alabamanians.
I don't know what they're I don't know what Alabama's
Alabama milkshakes. They like milkshakes in Alabama when they're going
through a breakups. The subject seeks nostalgia and emotional regression.
Speaker 2 (06:01):

texting something four one o six one.
