How much do you plan to spend on a Super Bowl food spread?
Are chicken wings on your shopping list for your Super Bowl spread this weekend? I am always amazed at the statistics people can come up with, but here’s one to mark this sports tradition: More than 1.25 billion wing portions will be consumed this weekend – the equivalent of circling the circumference of the Earth more than twice, according to the National Chicken Council.
Accompanying the wings (which are apparently second only to dips and spreads in popularity at game time), 14,500 tons of chips as well as 4,000 tons of popcorn will be consumed.
And, according to ZipList.com, the average Super Bowl party host will spend between $50 and $100 on food for their party.
That seems a little low to me. How about you?
