been worse if it were not for the fact that a lot of people are working from home now. you spread out the travel a bit longer. dan: that is a good point. if you like your food shaped like a can, how do you prefer your thanksgiving cranberry sauce, fresh or canned? a new survey shows how the country might be thinking. if you look at the map, the lighter red is the fresh stuff, darker red is the can. california was 2.7 times more likely to buy first compared to the national average. it is based on orders placed on november last year. i grew up in my mom always served the stuff in the can. i never liked it. i prefer the fresh. our partner in crime prefers the stuff. we were talking about this yesterday. spencer? spencer: fresh and organic. like you, i grew up eating the stuff out of the can. i never cared for it. dan: how about you?

reporter: i will be an outlier. i prefer the canned stuff. i'm not big on fruits and vegetables. it's all about the turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes. i only have so much room in the plate. if i go cranberry, i go canned. dan: is that because that's what you ate when you were a kid? reporter: probably. people get too crazy and things can go wrong. dan: what about you? kristen: i do the fresh. i like a little bit with the turkey. once the thanksgiving dinner is over with a shopping begins. -- over, the shoppin over, the this year, it is poised to break records. 2 million more people are expected to shop over the thanksgiving weekend. many have begun, citing concerns about supply chain issues in the sales that began earlier than ever.

dan: how about you? reporter: this is an interesting chart. it is just based on sales. it is more about the music. there is also the performance aspect. it is a whole different thing. this is just sales. i found it surprising rihanna was in the top 10. maybe because she has been featured on so many other big hits, in addition to her own music. i can see that being why she is the top. kristen: i definitely think the beatles belong there. i don't know who is missing. i have always had a place in my heart for abba. dan: there's never been a better time to switch to xfinity.
