Americans Will Eat More than 1.3 Billion Chicken Wings for Super Bowl!

Americans Will Eat More than 1.3 Billion Chicken Wings for Super Bowl!

WHOA! That’s a lot of Chicken Wings!

The National Chicken Council (NCC) released its annual Chicken Wing Report saying this year will hit an all-time high at 1.38 billion wings during Super Bowl LIII weekend, as the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots battle for the Lombardi Trophy.

This figure is up two percent, or about 27 million wings, from 2018.

How do 1.38 billion chicken wings measure up?

  • If 1.38 billion wings were laid end to end, they would stretch 28 times from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts to Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
  • 38 billion wings weigh 6,600 times more than the combined weight of both the Patriots’ and Rams’ entire rosters.
  • Enough to put 640 wings on every seat in all 31 NFL stadiums.
  • Enough to circle the Earth 3 times.
  • If each wing were one second, 1.38 billion wings would be 44 years.
  • That’s 4 wings for every man, woman and child in the United States.
