Time To Bite Down On Super Sunday!
Bear with me folks, I can only share this stuff once a year – on Super Bowl Sunday, what is better than celebrating with “food stadiums?”
THE SUPER BOWL OF SNACKS!
Time to look at just how much we eat on Super Bowl Sunday – and of course offer up some super-sized food to dream about…like this special Super Sunday slider stadium!
A “Slider Stadium!”
Yes, with this Super Bowl food stadium, you just grab a bun and make your own Super Slider….how much fun is this?
And what better way to celebrate the Super Bowl than to tease you with pictures of amazing food stadiums to help us swallow the following Super Bowl Food stats:
HERE ARE THE STATISTICS ON SUPER BOWL SNACK FOOD!
The Super Bowl is ranked as the number two food consumption event of the year, second only to Thanksgiving! (Source: American Institute of Food Distribution)
1,200:
Average number of calories consumed during the Super Bowl. It’s the second largest day for U.S. food consumption. Only Thanksgiving day is more.
71.4 million:
Estimated pounds of Hass avocados that will be consumed for the game this year, according to the Hass Avocado Board. That’s enough to cover the Super Bowl Stadium end zone to end zone in more than 27.5 feet in avocados.
90 Millions Pounds Of Wings, Please!
Hope you have enough ranch dressing and paper towels to handle this one:
1.25 billion!
Yep, that’s the number of chicken wings Americans are expected to eat on Super Bowl Sunday, according to the U.S. National Chicken Council, and why would they lie to us?
Don’t Forget To Double Dip!
Be careful this Super Bowl NOT to pull a George Costanza and double dip:
An astounding 14,500 tons of chips and 4,000 tons of popcorn are eaten on Super Bowl Sunday.
The Calorie Control Council says we’ll also eat:
— 11.2 million pounds of potato chips.
— 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips.
— 4.3 million pounds of pretzels.
— 3.8 million pounds of popcorn.
— 2.5 million pounds of nuts during their Super Bowl parties.
32: Percentage of U.S. grill owners who will be firing up on Game Day. According to Weber, the Super Bowl ranks as one of the top 10 most popular ” holidays” to grill.
And Is There A Beverage?
Well, what do YOU think?
During the Super Bowl, there will be 325 million GALLONS of beer consumed. That is A LOT of beer…you might need a bit of help carrying it to your table…
Behold The Bacon Mug!
And when in doubt, just pour yourself a frosty brew in this mug and have a nice snack at the same time!
So there you have it: food, food – lots and lots of food. But I think we are missing ONE crucial ingredient: THE TWINKIE!
The TWINKIE Stadium!
Yes, this is an edible Twinkie stadium…I actually found many versions of it, but I will share what I found from Holy Taco….first, you must lay out the outline of your stadium in, of course, Twinkies…
Holy Taco’s Twinkie Stadium uses a flat aluminum pan spread with sections of salsa, queso dip, and guacamole as a base, and cheese-topped hot dog pieces as players on the field. Various snack mixes are held together by a retaining wall made of Twinkies which the site refers to as “nature’s brick.”
Nature’s Brick!
This particular structure is notable for its “pliable bacon wall”, which is absent from most other examples.
The real kicker is the inclusion of the football shaped blimp, which is actually a 20 oz. summer sausage – AND WE ALL KNOW HOW GOOD THAT WILL TASTE…
If you pay close attention, you can see Twinkies also used as cars in the parking lot in many of the stadiums…nice touch….just don’t get carried away and make the dreaded:
BACON-WRAPPED TWINKIE STONEHENGE!
EDIBLE FOOD STADIUMS!
Back to the real world of crazy food…check out this super bowl food stadium…how much time do you think this takes to make?
And then there are the “Super Snack Stadiums” – pages and pages of crazy snack food towers designed to look like football stadiums…
They are mostly filled with pretzels, chips and dips…
I admire the ones that find a broad color palate, tough to do when most snack food is brown – chips, rolls, MEAT…and most dips are green or red…
And some look as much like Stonehenge as they do actual stadiums, but I guess that is beside the point:
LET’S GO LARGE!
So I just decided to get it all out of my system and go big today. A cursory skim of the web led me to the following super-sized, impossible-to-eat-but-isn’t-it-funny-to-stare-anyway food items to share. After all, it’s Super Bowl weekend and aren’t we supposed to eat too much?
The Kabul Wafflenator!
The website “This Is Why You’re Huge” has a TON of big food pics, and I have shared these before, but c’mon this is “The Kabul Wafflenator!” It’s a Peacapumple Pie-cake (layered apple pie inside a crumb cake, pumpkin pie inside a spice cake, and pecan pie inside a coffee cake), and something called a Monster Sandwich Pie. It looks to be huge sausages topped with bacon and cheese. Honestly in my opinion, once you make the decision to put ANY meat inside a pie crust, you are on your own…
The Fatty Challenge
Here’s another example of excess for the sake of excess: Take three lbs of beef, cheese balls, hot wings, pork tenderloin and onion rings – turn it into a burger. Add a side of fries and you are good to go today – and tomorrow – and any other day you choose. This isn’t a rib-sticker, it’s a gut-puncher!
Mom’s Meatloaf Melt
You like Mom’s Meatloaf? Her mashed potatoes? You want to gain weight to impress her, I mean, REALLY IMPRESS HER? Then here you go: Homemade meatloaf in a chipotle ketchup glaze, with roasted garlic mashed redskin potatoes, and muenster cheese. “Hope you are proud of me, Ma!”
The In-N-Out Bastard
Above you in a regular IN-N-Out Burger….and now, some people get all carried away with the stupid “Secret menu” – but I say, just order a burger and enjoy it. Here, they just couldn’t leave well enough alone.
These bastards took an In-N-Out Double double and went to town on it – they bastardized it by adding pickles and bacon from a Burger King Whopper – and then added Nutella spread on top for reasons we will never understand – but someone, someday, will be held accountable.
Vaz’s Takeaway in Sydney, Australia.
We aren’t the only nation who likes to go big or go home. Thanks to Theberry.com, which has a ton of “huge food” pics to share, we have the offering from Vaz’s Takeaway in Sydney, Australia.
Our friends down under like to take two beef patties, BBQ roast chicken, a Scotch fillet steak, chicken schnitzel, double helping of bacon and a double serving of cheese. Then they like to pile it straight up. Then they like to eat it. Then they die.
CLOWNS WELCOME!
And then you have this: apparently someone made a REALLY BIG Submarine sandwich – then they got a Clown to look it over and make everyone everywhere just a bit uneasy. If you eat near a Clown, you are on your own!
