MVP of the Superbowl – Game Day for Foodies! Super Bowl Sunday ranks behind only Thanksgiving as the biggest food consumption day of the year in the United States. • According to the National Chicken Council more than 1.3 Billion chicken wings will be eaten on Sunday. It is estimated that on Super Bowl Sunday Americans will eat 327% more wings than on an average day. • If you’re not eating wings, you’re probably eating pizza. Super Bowl Sunday is the busiest day of the year for pizza restaurants. Domino’s expects to sell 12 million slices of pizza that day alone. • After wings & pizza, potato chips are the most popular Super Bowl snack. • According to the California Avocado Commission, 139 million pounds of avocados will be consumed, largely in the form of guacamole. • Tortilla chips are a favorite on the menu – 8.2 million pounds will be eaten. • Sliders are a favorite. Americans eat 14 billion hamburgers a year at Super Bowl parties. • Pinterest reports that cheese boards & charcuterie will be among the favorite finger foods. • It’s unclear how many calories we’ll ingest during the game. Estimates range from an average of 1000-2000 per person… as much as we generally eat in an entire day. hashtag#superbowl hashtag#food hashtag#foodies hashtag#foods hashtag#gameday hashtag#menu hashtag#restaurants @sitramusa.com
