Chicken Wing-onomics 2020

This year, Americans will eat an estimated record-breaking 1.4 billion chicken wings during Super Bowl LIV weekend – or approximately 27 million more wings (a two percent increase) than last year’s Super Bowl weekend.

Americans will be “winging it” during the Big Game! This year, Americans will eat an estimated record-breaking 1.4 billion chicken wings during Super Bowl LIV weekend – or approximately 27 million more wings (a two percent increase) than last year’s Super Bowl weekend.

To picture just how 1.4 billion chicken wings stack up…

  • 1.4 billion wings laid end to end would stretch the entire Florida coastline, home of Super Bowl LIV, more than 9 times
  • 1.4 billion wings could circle the circumference of the Earth 3 times
  • 175 million pounds of wings weigh 1,500 times as much as an entire NFL team and three of their team busses
  • 1.4 billion wings are enough to give every attendee of every Super Bowl since 1967 each 342 wings
  • If each wing were one second, it would equal 45 years

 

We’ve compiled some stats in this infographic to put all those wings – and the National Chicken Council’s 2020 Wing Report – into perspective.

Happy Wing-ing!
