A recent breakdown reveals the most popular items sold at Walmart in each state, and here in Michigan, what we buy the most makes perfect sense, even though you'll probably have a hard time guessing what it is.

Walmart released a list of the most popular purchased item for every state in the union, and there are some weird highlights to the list, which we'll go over in a minute.

But let's start here in Michigan where the most popular item is a life jacket, which makes perfect sense in a state with thousands of miles of Great Lakes shoreline, not to mention all the rivers and lakes we like to recreate on.

Now about those other states.
