I agree with your last part, really no difference in density of Hershey products in gas stations near Hershey than anywhere else I've been in/out of the state. There's the occasional advertisement but Hershey is a novelty that wears off especially for us locals. Even though we do have a few good junk food brands I personally don't think there's as strong of a correlation between that and total number of sugary snacks consumed as some would think.

Yeah, we may eat more tastykakes than other states but I'm sure other cities have their own regional snack brands that they binge on, nor would any of that have any effect on whether we consume more sugary drinks than other states. The methodology seems suspect, especially since the state I would have guessed had the highest sugary drink consumption is listed as the lowest.
