The study was made up of matching 6,000 Google employees and 16,000 Microsoft employees email addresses with grocery purchase behavior in partnership with a loyalty card aggregator. They determined a lot of interesting differences between Googlers and Microsoft employees.

  • Googlers are more likely to buy bacon, ice cream, fresh fruits and vegetables, Mountain Dew and Doritos
  • Microsoft employees are more likely to buy vitamins, butter, popcorn by Orville and Capri Sun drinks
  • Googlers are more likely to be single and without children, while Microsoft employees are more likely to be married with kids.
  • Microsoft employees are typically older than Googlers.
