I can’t discern the national trend, but the strawberry seems to be running ahead of the wild berry in large parts of the Southwest, Midwest and Southeast. There appear to be some interesting regional taste preferences. So why all the hate for the strawberry melon Revolution? Well, don’t be fooled. For example, in my home state of Vermont, Voltage holds a healthy 11% lead over Revolution, and they are both destroying Supernova. One look at the map shows a swath of dark blue, indicating that Voltage (blue raspberry) has a stranglehold on the electoral college, running in first place in every single state!
