Methodology

  1. Top10 Meal Deliveries sought to discover the most commonly misspelled foods through global search trend data.

  2. Top10 Meal Deliveries started by collating previous articles and quizzes about the most misspelled foods from Buzzfeed, 967 The Eagle, and Grubhub as well as food names that have appeared in spelling bees from 2010, 2014 and 2015.

  3. 40 food names were extracted for investigation, and Top10 Meal Deliveries input each one into Google analytics provider Ahrefs to discover average monthly searches, as well as sourcing the most common incorrect spellings of the food names.

  4. The data was cleaned and filtered to produce a top 20 list of commonly misspelled foods.

  5. This data is correct as of 20/01/2022 and is subject to change.
