What Do Burritos And Iraq Have In Common?

According to this Reuters new story they're both words most likely to be googled from the United States.

I've always thought that Google's national search results were fascinating; they provide a glimpse into the collective thoughts of an entire nation. Who knew that Italy was most likely to google "viagra", or that the Philippines was the country searching the most for "love"? Some results are less surprising (Ireland searching for "hangover" for example) while some seem downright disturbing, like Pakistan searching for both "Taliban" and "Terrorism" or the fact that Mexico tops the world in searches for "Britney Spears".
