$198 million for frozen pizza: How did your Super Bowl snacks compare to the average American’s?
February 05, 2018
Eagles win!
The Philadelphia Eagles made history with their first Super Bowl win last night. While sitting down to watch, Americans ate a lot of pizza, wings and subs.
How many wings can you eat?
Consumers were expected to eat a record 1.35 billion chicken wings this year. Nielsen reports that Americans spend a lot on these items in the two weeks leading up to the big game:
- $1.3 billion on beer & cider
- $278 million on potato chips
- $198 million on frozen pizza
- $86 million on popcorn
- $80 million on chicken wings
- $60 million on deli sandwiches
What did the average family spend?
The average American spent around $81.17 on party fare, according to the National Retail Federation. Sports fans in the 24-34 age demographic spent more on average ($118.43), but anyone hosting a full-blown Super Bowl party spent the most on average: $207.16.
