Americans to Eat 1.23 Billion Chicken Wings Super Bowl Weekend

Chicken wings have become a staple food of Super Bowl parties in the U.S., and demand for them on menus is now at an all-time high leading up to the second biggest eating day of the year – Super Bowl Sunday.

Super Bowl weekend is unquestionably the biggest time of the year for wings. According to the National Chicken Council’s 2013 Wing Report, more than 1.23 billion wing portions will be consumed during Super Bowl weekend in 2013, as fans watch the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens battle for the Lombardi Trophy.

To put that into perspective, if 1.23 billion wing segments were laid end to end, they would stretch from Candlestick Park in San Francisco to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore… 27 times.

Super Bowl wing consumption is down about one percent, or 12.3 million wings, compared to last year’s numbers, but not because demand for them is declining. Quite the opposite, explains Bill Roenigk, chief economist and market analyst at the Washington, D.C.-based National Chicken Council.

I don't even see how this is possible. How are there that many chickens? This is some kind of weird chicken wing conspiracy.

While wings and pizza are the two most popular Super Bowl snacks, chips are close behind with an expected 11 million pounds of chips to be consumed on Sunday, as well as an estimated 4 million pounds of pretzels and 2.5 million pounds of nuts.

I know, I found it hard to believe, too.

What is more disturbing to me is the amount money that is spent on this game. I was reading the other day that 900 tickets sold for $80,000 a piece! The seats are the second-priciest in the league, behind the Dallas Cowboys's $150,000 club seating.

Went to Walmart to get some avocados, there were none. You should have seen how many hispanics were walking around holding an empty produce bag, looking dazed and confused, looking for the avocados. I was pissed ! Was really in the mood for some.

My Tyson hot wings were all gone too, Had to buy another brand and its not as good.

The same in the stores around here, no avocadoes. They were on sale at Meijer last week--5 for 5.

Sam's club and Costcos were featuring their guacomole last week, that is probably all gone, too.

Well, it is "the second-largest food consumption day of the year", and I don't think many people have realized this.

Yes, I agree(said with a chuckle). It hardly seems worth it for a couple of thin strips of chicken.

Sam's Club had a demo using their frozen meatballs cooked in Manwich--was pretty good tasting and more substantial.

Thanks for the pin!

I'll be ordering a pizza from Jet's, not because of the Super Bowl, but because all this talk has made me hungry for a pizza. tounge

Pizza players prep for Super Bowl rush

Super Bowl Sunday is historically the busiest day of the year for pizzerias and this year is expected to be no different as the San Francisco 49ers take on the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, Feb. 3. The 70,000-plus pizza restaurants throughout the U.S. are gearing up for the big day by rolling out football-themed marketing campaigns, adding staff and ordering extra supplies.

For this one day, Pizza Hut estimates it will sell more than 2 million pizzas (16 million slices).

Domino's plans to deliver 11 million-plus slices of pizza — nearly an 80 percent increase from a typical Sunday. Delivery drivers are expected to cover 50 percent more ground than they normally do.

They can have those creepy wings! Hate those damned things. But have a huge pot of gumbo ready, extra spicey, too.

Now to make some corn bread to go with.

Wings are all bone and that horrible creepy skin that I am just not eating, no way.
