US hummus market revenue

As American hummus revenue has grown, UK pint prices have risen, a transatlantic correlation of 0.985 that connects Mediterranean dips to British ale with the economic confidence of two consumer products getting more expensive in two different countries for two different reasons during the same decade. The hummus is scooped in Houston, the pint is pulled in Hull, and the chart draws a line between them without checking either's provenance.

Hummus revenue grew from about 400 million to over 900 million dollars between 2010 and 2022. UK pint prices grew from about £3.00 to over £4.60. Both are inflation-era consumer spending curves in developed economies. The shared variable is the rising cost of consumer goods globally—not hummus specifically or beer specifically, but the general trend of everything costing more every year.

Eleven years of hummus and pints is inflation viewed through two lenses: one American and chickpea-based, one British and barley-based, both rising because the global economy raises all prices. The dip costs more, the drink costs more, and the chart records both without tasting either.
