It's GAME DAY!
While the Steelers and the Packers will be duking it out for the super bowl trophy, pizza franchises everywhere will be having their BEST sales day ever!
It has been reported that pizzerias have a 35% sales boost on Super Bowl Sunday--one of the biggest pizza-delivery days of the year. Papa John's is estimating to sell a million pizzas and in preparation, are stocking up on over 350,000 pounds of pepperoni and 2 million pounds of cheese. Domino's Pizza plans to deliver 1.2 million pizza's and Pizza Hut expects to sell 2 million. That's 4.2 million pizzas from just THREE franchises--imagine the total sales when including other franchises, privately owned pizzerias and supermarket purchased pizzas!
But careful what you eat:
Studies have found that eating fatty foods can be dangerous for those with coronary disease since it leaves the blood vessels in an abnormal state for 3 to 5 hours post-consumption. A recent study found that witnessing an emotional sports loss can result in fatal heart attacks, especially when combined with other triggers including lack of sleep and overeating!
The Super Bowl is synonymous with overeating since Americans consumed 1.25 billion chicken wings (according to the National Chicken Council) and 30 million pounds of chips and pretzels (according to the Calorie Control Council).
Are you watching the Super Bowl Today? Will YOU be ordering Pizza?

I know we're ordering pizza here, but I'm not sure if I'm going to have any personally.
I don't know if I will be ordering one, but I will probably be getting one at Kroger. If I did order one, it would probably be from Papa John's.
We are making pizza- buffalo chicken. Mmm. And later, I think we'll be making english toffee. Delicious.
Not ordering pizza, but we did heat up chicken wings.
Fatty foods can be dangerous? No shit Sherlock. C'mon Healthkicker, let's get some better material
@npr32486@xanga - ahahaha that's exactly what I thought.
National Chicken Council? Do you really need a council for chicken consumption?
I really don't like fast food type pizza. :( Too much grease. Blegh.
Wow that's a lot of pizza! We watched the 1st quarter and then hubby got bored lol
Nahh we had beef stew but we did have wings! If i died drinking, stuffing my face & watching the superbowl, it'd be sad but oh well. Not a bad way to go out.
we have a bbq chicken pizza that I wanted to make but instead we had wings, mozzarella sticks, chicken salad, bbq, and those deli spirals. so that was good.
I went to a Super Bowl party and didn't eat pizza. The host served cut colds and cheeses to make your own sandwich, potato and potato salads and chips and dip. Beer, soda and water was also on hand. But, I would not have objected if pizza were on the menu...but the service for delivery might be slow considering the popularity of pizza on Super Bowl Sunday.
that pizza looks so good
