It turns out that you can tell a lot about people by what they have in their online shopping carts.

Online auction retailer eBay has released data that shows the most popular items purchased by each state.

It's not much of a surprise, but Texas residents purchase more hunting and tactical supplies than anything else.

Californians buy more high-end women's apparel and clothing accessories, while folks in New Jersey are buying the most men's cologne.

eBay has put all the data into this map.
