What’s the food and drink of choice for Labor Day?

You might have one more day at the office in between you and a labor-free Labor Day weekend, but hopefully you’re getting ready to crack some brews, fire up the grill and chill out with your buddies.

To amuse ourselves as we wait for the clock to strike 5 p.m. Friday, here’s a look at some findings from Budweiser’s Labor Day USA survey.

A news release about the survey sarcastically describes itself as “a new national study that dares to ask the toughest questions about America’s most flag-waving, beer-drinking, and charcoal-grilling end-of-summer holiday.”

For a moment of seriousness about its methodology, Budweiser says Learndipity Data Insights conducted the online survey Aug. 1-12 with 2,000 Americans ages 21 and older. The survey asked respondents about their eating, drinking and leisure plans for Labor Day this year.

Here’s a look at the predictable, but nonetheless amusing, findings, each in order of popularity:
