Friday Distraction: Super Bowl XLVI
On Sunday all eyes will be glued to their TVs watching the Super Bowl showdown between the New England Patriots and New York Giants. It’s sure to be a great game. Did you know that Super Bowl Sunday is also considered the second largest day of food consumption in the United States? Yep, and not surprisingly, Thanksgiving is the first.
How much food you ask? Well, it’s estimated that Americans will eat 90 million pounds of chicken wings, 14,500 tons of chips and 4,000 tons of popcorn. That doesn’t even include the number of pizzas that are delivered.
This year, Mr. Bartender and I splurged on some Pat LaFrieda hamburgers and will (hopefully) cheer the Patriots to victory. Oh, and let’s not forget the commercials. Here’s a fave from years ago.
Are you watching the game this weekend? Tell us who you’re rooting for and (more importantly) what are you eating?!
