It's the ultimate American tradition: excess and sports. But just how much stuff do Americans consume on Super Bowl Sunday?
Whether you're home or at the bar, Americans drink 325 million gallons of beer every Super Bowl Sunday.
If you're not one for the alcohol, you're not alone. We Americans spend nearly $2.5 million guzzling soda for the big game every year.
Pizza. Americans consume millions of slices of it every Super Bowl. But, really? Is that much different than any other day?"
And if Super Bowl lovers love anything more than pizza, it's chicken wings, a lot of them, 1 billion of them. That's enough to fill 1,083,333 football fields.
80 million avocados are sacrificed every Super Bowl Sunday so Americans can enjoy the green stuff we call guacamole.
Are you the stay at home type? 48 million Americans are too. That's how many of us order take out.
Americans love their chips. In fact, they eat 11 million pounds of it on Super Bowl Sunday.
So whether you're in it for the food, or you're in it for the sport, the Super Bowl has something for everybody.
