eta- Here's the article link- http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/fort-worth/article179867551.html

Call it a case of Fake News.

A new study released Thursday from Business Insider and Foursquare named In-N-Out — not Whataburger — the most popular fast food chain in Texas.

Not naming Whataburger would have been brutal enough for Texans. Selecting the West Coast-based chain they love to hate (in favor of Whataburger, of course) was even worse.

The findings, which included a most popular chain for each state, were determined by total visits to each chain ”divided by the number of locations in that state," according to Business Insider.

So it sounds like Whataburger's 669 locations in Texas — compared to In-N-Out's 35 — might have skewed the numbers a bit. Even so, the results did not go over well.

Whataburger, the burger joint is based in Texas, which makes this all the more shocking. The Whataburger twitter account is demanding a recount.

Here's that map for those in the back-

Stay winning, In & Out.

In n Out is shit

Go Cali, you're right, Cane's is the best hands down

Need In & Out's in the great state of Washington. Don't know how Texas got them sooner.

100% accurate

Chairman85 · Oct 20, 2017

But P. Terry's is better than both?

StopMakingSense · Oct 20, 2017

This 'study' is the stupidest fucking shit.

Look at that sea of homophobic blandness.

robotrock · Oct 20, 2017

I had the Whataburger once and it didn't do much for me.

I also had Cane's twice and did not care for it either times.

Never ever seen a Cane's here in California. Obviously a mix up in the results that will soon be fixed.

How retro. Are we back in 2010?

Chick fila definitely changed up how their sandwiches taste. I don't like them that much anymore.

If you do see one, go there asap. you won't regret it.

Aeana · Oct 20, 2017

In & Out is good but I'd still rather have a honey BBQ chicken strip sandwich from Whataburger.

kris. · Oct 20, 2017

Hahahaha isn't Culver's based out of Wisconsin? They should move their HQ here. Their fried cheese curds are the secret GOAT fast food item.

Digital-Hero · Oct 20, 2017

White Castle in Nevada. That is so strange lol.

Such a stupid list. There are 2 Chik Fil Ets or whatever the fuck they're called in Oregon.

There is like 5 in Washington. So I don't get it as well.

GoldenEye 007 · Oct 20, 2017

I don't think anyone is looking to check in at a Whataburger. I'm just looking to go there and stuff my face with a massive burger and hope nobody actually finds out about it.

I don't mind In-N-Out too - especially after discovering the fries are not salted by default and you have to do it yourself. So the fries aren't as much shit as I originally experienced.

Edit: Canes is good too. Although, I get the feeling they have made their chicken strips smaller or something.

the_firewithin · Oct 20, 2017

I'm in California. Wtf is canes?

Sanjuro · Oct 20, 2017

Whataburger is no slouch though.

Also, this list is hot garbage. Chick-fil-A only has like two locations.

Busaiku · Oct 20, 2017

This is game news to the extreme.
In N Out is good for its prices, but Whataburger is better pound for pound.

StopMakingSense · Oct 20, 2017

There are only 8 Raising Cane's locations in all of California, and only in LA County.

This thing is stupid bullshit.

jph139 · Oct 20, 2017

First reaction: Wait, Cali isn't In-N-Out? What a shock.

Second reaction: How is Chick Fil A topping the charts in New England? I've literally never seen one east of NYC.

They don't even sell burgers.

But they have some damn good chicken. Clearly someone messed up.

Faddy · Oct 20, 2017

They divided by number of locations LOL.

FriendlyGoat · Oct 20, 2017

That measurement seems real dumb. Take South Dakota, for example. There are THREE popeye's locations in the entire state. It's a small state, sure, but even then three is nothing.

Delio · Oct 20, 2017

Nah. Give me Whataburger any time.

JdFoX187 · Oct 20, 2017

Whataburger is the most overrated, generic ass-tasting hamburger I've ever eaten. In-and-Out is a breath of fresh air for fast food hamburgers. Only Wendy's bacon mushroom melt beats it out.

Now, Oklahoma-GAF, we need to address the elephant in the room that is shitty Taco Bueno.

Preach.

And unlike In-N-Out you'll get some actual serviceable fries.

Throw in the spicy ketchup and it's like.

Mmm.

Nah.

I have lived here my whole life and I've never heard of it.

katsubento · Oct 20, 2017

As a Hawaii person, that map seems odd to me. Popeye's? We have them only on one island in the whole State and it's not like people ever talk about it.

ScatheZombie · Oct 20, 2017

In-N-Out Burger is continually the most overrated burger whenever it's brought up.

To be fair, Whataburger is terrible, so...

People have bad taste.

Do people still use that?

The_Inquisitor · Oct 20, 2017

Lol anyone who is accepting this without looking how they came up with the answer should read the study they used.

The Lamp · Oct 20, 2017

Whataburger can't be overrated in any sense ever because they have honey butter chicken biscuits.

But I agree

Raising Canes I think. Its aight.

Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku! · Oct 20, 2017

I had no idea raising cane's existed outside the Louisiana area wtf

robotrock · Oct 20, 2017

there's really not too many chick fil a's out in Massachusetts, no idea how it's the most popular

It is sooooooo fucking dumb.

People: this 'study' is worthless shit.

They are taking 'visits' (which near as I can tell is Four Square check-ins) and dividing it by the total number of locations. Somehow they even count restaurants that have less than 10 locations in the entire state, like Raising Canes in CA.

It is TRAAAAAAASH clickbait bullisht

Chicken, Fries and Texas toast.

Delicious! Excellent choice California.

Turok_TTZ · Oct 20, 2017

Bull. Shit.

Whataburger has the best burger in the state. In-N-Out? never seen one in Houston.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
