How are you feeling, Georgia? Specifically, how are those apparently chronically sore nipples treating you? As revealed in Estately's latest map roundup, the questions each state Googles more than any other state certainly paint a unique and endlessly fascinating portrait of America in 2016.
To arrive at their mind-boggling findings, Estately compiled hundreds of the most Googled questions using the Google auto-complete feature. Those queries were then plugged into Google Trends to figure out which state searched each of those questions more than any other state between 2004 and 2016.
