Although Saucyman tries to double source all facts for the readers protection, the following statistical data was not verified and instead chosen for its entertainment value – quote at your peril.
About 1 in 5 people will watch the game in a social setting – 17% attending parties and 4% viewing in a bar.
Even if you don’t watch the game, be careful to have a meal prepared Sunday evening, with 1/8 households ordering out during the game, it is a bad night to crave pizza or Popeyes. With Sushi is gaining popularity as a game time snack, Vietnamese and Thai appear to be fairly safe bets if you must order food.
You’d think that it is all wings and pizza but you’d be wrong, there are more vegetables are consumed than meat and cheese. Lest you think it is large gentlemen squeezed inside of generously sized football jerseys nibbling on crudités, worrying about their figure - it takes some concessions to make that stat work…Avocados (a fruit) go into 8 million pounds of guacamole, the tomatoes in salsa are scooped up by 14,500 tons of corn chips and don’t forget potato chips and French fries adding to the tally. While all this places veggies at the top of the list; Super Bowl Sunday has been designated as a national day of low fiber.
And while beer companies aren’t as anxious to publish PR friendly statistical info like the Avocado Board and Restaurant Association are: This Sunday more drivers will be involved in alcohol related incidents (crashes, DUIs) than any other day of the year other than St. Patrick’s Day.
There is slowing down with the silver bullet: 5-6% of our workforce will call out sick on Monday following the Super Bowl.
Advertisers will spend over $150,000,000 on the roughly 60 minutes of advertising within the game. Collectively, Americans will spend $50,000,000 on food. This is second only to Thanksgiving in terms of dollars and calories.
And just in case this is the only place you hear it – It is the Saints of New Orleans versus the Indianapolis Colts. Although, I don’t have a pony in this race, football suffers greatly from not being basketball or baseball, I’d lean towards picking New Orleans only because it has a prouder culinary history. Jambalaya versus Green Bean Casserole, what are you going to eat. And that is the worst betting information you are ever going to read.

I remember hearing once in a Sociology class that domestic violence increases during football games. Not verified - wonder if the Super Bowl is an exception because of the social nature of viewing.
Coming for the nachos and staying for the commercials. And yeah, New Orleans needs a boost and parties better than any other US city - Go Saints!
