Eat up, Its Superbowl!

If you thought Superbowl was all about Football, think again. According to Super Bowl consumption by the numbers,

Macro-economically speaking, national government statistics of three years ago reckoned that just under $55 million was expected to be expended on Super Bowl food alone. After spending an estimated 10 million man-hours (give or take a couple of seconds) preparing all that grub, Americans are expected to consume the lot within approximately 15 minutes, well before the first touchdown (on average) is scored.
How much do we eat as a nation? Almost 15,000 tons of chips and 4,000 tons of popcorn. In terms of sheer weight, about 12 million pounds' worth of potato chips were torn through during the 2002 game.

And you guessed right, there is an increase in antacid sales the day after: 20% per 7-Eleven.
