The Top Super Bowl Foods by the Numbers

The Super Bowl is one of the top 10 biggest days in US beer sales. An estimated 50 million cases flew off shelves during the weekend of Super Bowl XLVII, most of which were consumed at home and not at bars.

Compared to all other chips, snacks, and popcorn, potato chips are the favorite Super Bowl snack; viewers forked over $184 million in 2013 for potato chips alone — compared to $40 million for pretzels and $12 million for rice cakes — and consumed about 11.2 million pounds of the spud snack.

Tortilla chips were a close second to potato chips last year, amounting to 8.2 million pounds consumed, according to the Snack Food Association.

Holy guacamole! Tons of avocados are sold during the Super Bowl, used in staples like seven-layer dip and guacamole. When the San Francisco 49ers played the Baltimore Ravens, around 79 million pounds of Hass avocados were sold for the big game. Compare that insane amount to just 8 million pounds in 2000.

Last year, Americans ate around 1.23 billion chicken wings during the weekend of Super Bowl XLVII. Believe it or not, that was actually down from the year before by 20 million wings!

Super Bowl Sunday is the top day of the year for pizza sales. Domino's Pizza estimated selling 11 million slices of pizza for the event, and 300,000 online orders were made on Super Bowl Sunday in 2013.
