A Few Super Bowl Fun Facts

Do people enjoy those Super Bowl commercials? Just how many tons of ultimate nachos will be sold at Cowboys Stadium on Game Day? We now have those answers.

Let's get to the crazy amounts of food that will be devoured at Cowboys Stadium on Super Bowl Game Day. According to Legends Hospitality Management, people will be eating 12 tons of ultimate nachos at the stadium. Yes, and with all those nachos, you have to wash them down with something. How about 15,625 gallons of soda? Yup, that's the the amount of soda that is intended to be sold that day. Thinking of a hot dog? Well, 8,000 pounds of hot dogs and 800 gallons of ketchup and mustard are expected to be eaten on Game Day at the stadium. And, we all need desert, right? Well, fans will eat 15,000 Moon Pies to finish off their feasts.

If you can't make it the stadium, the next best thing is to watch it from the comfort of your own home. And, if you're not a fan of football, the next best thing to do while at a Super Bowl party is indulge in the entertaining commercials. According to a survey by the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, 75-percent of Super Bowl viewers watch the new commercials as entertainment. (You can count me in that 75-percent. I can't wait to see what commercials are coming on Game Day.)

The survey also found that 17-percent of people who will watch the Super Bowl felt advertisers should save their money and pass along the savings to shoppers who buys their products. 9.5-percent say they hate Super Bowl commercials because they make the game go on too long. And, finally, the survey found that 7.7-percent of Super Bowl watchers say the commercials influence then to buy the products they see. Now, that's an effective commercial, huh?
