Do your self a favor and take a look at this astounding collection of Super Bowl data. You'll get an idea of the massive numbers behind our nation's favorite sporting event. Some highlights:151.6 million: Number of people who will watch at least part of the game.
8 million: Total pounds of popcorn consumed on Super Bowl Sunday.
28 million: Pounds of potato chips consumed.
53.5 million: Pounds of avocados consumed.
222,792: Number of football fields worth of farmland to grow all that
corn, potatoes, and avocados.
1 billion: Number of chicken wings consumed on Super Bowl Sunday.
325.5 million: Gallons of beer drank by Americans that day.
493: Number of Olympic-sized swimming pools that could be filled with all that beer.
That's a lot of everything.
Thanks, Alicia.
