The Flavor Equator

New Jersey is split by the Water Ice Equator. It turns out the two halves order differently too. These are the water-ice flavors that lean hardest to each side, by how much more often a region's stands serve them. Tap any flavor to see where.

🍦 North: Italian ice & gelato (129 stands) 🍧 South: Philly water ice (99 stands)
NORTH leans SOUTH leans Orange Cream: South 12 stands vs North 0 Orange Cream 12 / 0 Gelati: South 10 stands vs North 1 Gelati 10 / 1 Sugar Free Cherry: South 15 stands vs North 2 Sugar Free Cherry 15 / 2 Strawberry Lemonade: South 22 stands vs North 4 Strawberry Lemonade 22 / 4 Swedish Fish: South 21 stands vs North 5 Swedish Fish 21 / 5 Lemonade: South 8 stands vs North 2 Lemonade 8 / 2 Rootbeer: South 40 stands vs North 11 Rootbeer 40 / 11 Black Cherry: South 13 stands vs North 4 Black Cherry 13 / 4 Sour Apple: South 14 stands vs North 5 Sour Apple 14 / 5 Grape: South 22 stands vs North 8 Grape 22 / 8 Pumpkin: South 8 stands vs North 3 Pumpkin 8 / 3 Pina Colada: South 26 stands vs North 12 Pina Colada 26 / 12 Coffee: North 9 stands vs South 2 Coffee 9 / 2 Pistachio: North 21 stands vs South 9 Pistachio 21 / 9 Cantaloupe: North 10 stands vs South 5 Cantaloupe 10 / 5 Black Raspberry: North 18 stands vs South 9 Black Raspberry 18 / 9

Numbers after each bar are stands in that region (its own side first). "Lean" is share-normalized, so South having fewer total stands doesn't tilt the whole board, and we only chart flavors served at 10+ stands so these are popular flavors, not one-off oddities. The pattern is real: South Jersey keeps the Philly water-ice canon (orange cream, swedish fish, root beer, sour apple), while North Jersey skews toward richer, gelateria-style flavors (rum raisin, pistachio, coffee). At smaller scale the North tilt is even sharper for true gelato flavors like dulce de leche, stracciatella and tamarindo.
