Comfort food is what makes the world go around, unless you are the 6-pack abs having muscle dude at the local gym, then a cookies and cream protein shake is your idea of comfort food more than likely.

According to a Harris Poll survey, here are the top five comfort foods:

  1. Pizza, which got more than twice as many votes compared to any other food.
  2. Chocolate.
  3. Ice cream.
  4. Macaroni and cheese.
  5. Chips.

The rest of the top 10 are burgers, steak, popcorn, pasta, and Mexican food.

The survey also found men and women eat comfort foods for totally different reasons.  Women are most likely to do it when they're stressed out, men are most likely to do it after they have had a really good day.

Soup was the number one food people said they want when they are sick, followed by ice cream.  Pizza and toast tied for third.

Last but not least, when we are celebrating a special occasion, we want steak more than anything else.  Cake was the second most popular answer, then pizza.
