The Best Selling Item in Illinois Walmart Stores is…Puzzling

If someone had said that they'd give me a million dollars if I could tell them what the number-one best selling item is at Illinois Walmart stores--they'd be keeping their money. Seriously, I wouldn't have guessed this in 6 months of trying.

For those who haven't recently run to their favorite Walmart to buy it, Puzzle Sort & Go is "6 plastic stackable storage trays" that are perfect for sorting and storing your puzzle pieces. That's it. Some trays to throw puzzle pieces in.

What are they grabbing up in Indiana? Hand sanitizer. Germ-X, to be precise. You can feel confident that you won't catch an infectious disease from a Des Moines handshake.

Michigan Walmart shoppers have made life jackets their Walmart's best seller. I don't get it either.

In Missouri, they like a good, disposable adult washcloth. No handshakes for them.

And in Minnesota, the best-seller at Walmart stores is folding chairs, preferably in a camouflage print.
