This Super Bowl Sunday, Americans will eat …
- 88 million pounds of cheese
- 1.38 billion chicken wings
- 10 million pounds of ribs
- 8 million pounds of guacamole
- over 14,500 tons of chips
- 4 million pounds of pretzels
- 3.8 million pounds of popcorn and…
- 2.5 million pounds of nuts
Super Bowl partiers will also drink 50 million cases of beer. Which might be one reason seven million employees will call in sick on Monday. ( BroBible )
Super Bowl of Eating … Super Bowl Sunday is a HUGE day for eating. In fact, it is second only to Thanksgiving in terms of food consumption. If you eat the typical fare of wings, chips, pizza, beer and soda, you could take in as many as 2,400 calories and 121 grams of fat – and that’s just during the game. You would need to run a marathon to burn off those calories. ( Time )
But that estimate is on the low side … A study by Cornell University found that there are actually more calories consumed on Super Bowl Sunday than on Thanksgiving and even Christmas. That study revealed that Americans consumed more than 6,000 calories on Super Bowl Sunday. ( Bro Bible )
