Fun Friday this week kicks off with Nutella #BiscuitsNBesties, which celebrates book clubs and other groups that bring people together. With people getting together for activities more than ever before, #BiscuitsNBesties (Nutella Biscuits) is celebrating these fun moments by offering friends the chance to win weekly prizes and even a getaway.

Ferrero's Nutella brand is encouraging fans to tag their bestie and @Nutella and use the hashtag #BiscuitsNBesties for the chance to win free biscuits and brand swag. One grand prize winner will also win a trip to New York City for themselves and their bestie, and the giveaway will end on June 16. To launch #BiscuitsNBesties, Nutella is teaming up with NBCUniversal stars including Kristen Kish, Host of Bravo's "Top Chef," and Zuri Hall.

Most popular bagel types in the U.S.

The world is a nation of bagel lovers. From the infamous Everything seasoning that went viral on TikTok to the newly launched McDonald’s breakfast bagel, the popular bread is loved far and wide. 

With this in mind, Betway has surveyed nearly 2,000 Americans across the US to find out the most popular bagel flavors and fillings that they buy and to shed light on just how many bagels people consume. 

The key findings: 

  • Hawaiians eat more bagels than any other state, with the average resident claiming they eat around 142 bagels yearly.
  • Men eat almost 40% more bagels than women per year, with 12% of men claiming they eat a bagel every day compared to 5% of women
  • The average person is willing to spend up to $400 per year on bagels, with the survey revealing the average American is happy to spend $4.71 per bagel and eating around 85 per year.
  • Delaware is the only state to prefer bacon, egg, and cheese as a filling over cream cheese.
