The picture above is from Google Trends, the fun tool that lets you measure the popularity of various keywords on the search site.
The blue line shows a spike in searches for "turkey" every year on Thanksgiving, followed by another smaller spike around Christmas; the red line, measuring the popularity of the search term "diet," shows that come January, many of us are looking to turn over a new leaf.
Thanks to Philipp Lenssen of Google Blogoscoped for pointing this out. Philipp found it on Reddit, where folks noted many other interesting search graphs:
Pokemon vs. Ron Paul vs. Hillary Clinton vs. John Edwards.
Hangover (check out the New Year's spike).
