Internet searches for “fries near me” and “liquor stores near me” skyrocketed to all-time highs on Tuesday night as across the country, Americans desperately looked for ways to assuage their anxiety on election night.
Google Trends reported the upticks along with some useful graphs that clearly show the spike in apparent demand for late-night drinks and munchies. In addition, searches for “move to Canada” were also on the rise as the early election results showed a tight contest between President Trump and Democrat Joe Biden.
All that anxiety is likely due to the uncertainty as to who will be declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
