Pumped for the Pats


Americans will spend more than $1 billion on Super bowl snacks this Year. What will your contribution be?
According to AdWeek and TurboTax, Super bowl viewers plan on spending $184 million on potato chips, $40 million on pretzels and $36 million on puffed cheese. That's right, puffed cheese.
The National Chicken Council states that more than 1.25 billion portions of wings will be consumed this weekend. That's enough to circle the globe...twice. That's a lot of wings, good thing chickens don't need them.
7-Eleven claims there is a 20% increase in antacids on the Monday after the Super bowl, according to Squidoo.com. That must be due to the 2 million pizzas we're consuming from Pizza Hut and $11.8 million worth of beer the day before.
So whether you're tuning in to root for the Patriots or the Giants, to watch a good ole' "Gronking," or just for the commercials, there's no doubt you'll be eating well this Sunday.
