Super Bowl 50 has a nice ring to it! So do the stats -- the fun food facts that is -- which predict another year of record food consumption when it comes to celebrating on the day of the Big Game. Last year’s numbers (1.23 billion chicken wings and 14 million hamburgers) are sure to keep up Super Bowl Sunday’s ranking as the second biggest American feast day of the year after Thanksgiving.
It’s great to be an American – even if you only watch the game for the commercials! Most of us watch the game at home with family and friends with an average of 17 in attendance. A mere 3% choose to share the night at a local bar – which explains the staggering sales of some 50 million cases on game day alone. (24 beers in a case multiplied by 50 million? I don’t think I could even compute that figure.)
If this year’s party is on your home turf, approach the quasi-holiday the same way you do any food-focused gathering. Give yourself the home field advantage with premium tools to insure a constant flow of easily prepared crowd-pleasing foods to serve a crowd!
For many households, this is the one time of the year where men take the lead in the planning. To be sure and he’ll look like the man in charge, the KAF Home Utility Half Apron suits him up in classic chef-style – a perfect complement to his team jersey.

Premium barbecue accessories allow you to enjoy the game and the sizzling sidelines competition amongst friends and family. Invest in Man Law BBQ: 5-Piece BBQ Wood Handle Tool Set to build a strong “bench” of barbecue and entertaining tools.
The five-piece set delivers all the gadgets for every trick on the grill for safe flipping, grabbing, basting and spearing. The attractive, long wooden handles look great hanging from the grill and provide the perfect leverage and length from the heat for easy tending with one eye on the game! The built in bottle opener keeps everyone hydrated (contributing to the annual beer consumption).
With the average of 17 at your Super Bowl gathering, add the Man Law BBQ Hamburger Basket for even grilling in convenient sets of four patties. The chrome plated iron wire basket keeps the burgers in place and the rounded, premium wood handle allows for an easy and safe hand-off to the second string chef when your team is in the end zone.
This year’s must-have grill accessory is the Man Law BBQ Wing Rack which makes it easy to understand how the chicken wing consumption tops a billion! The heavy gauge stainless steel rack cooks up to 12 wings, thighs and drumsticks to produce even results and everyone’s favorite chicken part.
