Americans to Eat 1.3 Billion Chicken Wings for Super Bowl 50. Which is Kind Of a Lot.
With the second biggest eating day of the year after Thanksgiving upon us – Super Bowl Sunday – there’s no hotter time of year for chicken wings, America’s new favorite party food. This year, Americans will eat 3% (or 37.5 million) more chicken wings than last year, up to 1.3 billion (yes, with a b!) during Super Bowl 50.
1.3 billion chicken wings is a lot of freaking wings, but how do all those wings measure up? We’ve compiled some stats to put all those wings – and the 2016 Wing Report – into perspective.
