SuperBowl Stats
Wow I just can't wait to work this weekend.
-- More than 2.6 million pounds or 246 miles of Land O' Frost Premium
lunchmeats will be sold at Wal-Mart Supercenters prior to Super Bowl
Sunday, roughly the distance from Houston to Dallas.
-- Laying all the deli party trays end-to-end that Wal-Mart sells for
Super Bowl Sunday would equal the height of 17 Sears Towers in
Chicago.
-- Wal-Mart will sell enough frozen pizzas to stretch the length of the
Grand Canyon, nearly 300 miles in length.
-- Wal-Mart will sell enough Velveeta(R) cheese this week to fill an
entire Olympic size swimming pool, or 115,000 gallons.
-- Wal-Mart will sell enough Planters(R) dry roasted, honey roasted, and
cocktail peanuts for Super Bowl Sunday that, if you stacked the
containers on top of one another, they would equal the height of
108 Empire State Buildings.
-- An average Wal-Mart store will sell enough soft drinks to fill two
average-sized swimming pools, or 15,000 gallons of soft drinks.
-- More than 2 million pounds of ice are used by consumers during the
three days leading up to the Super Bowl, which is roughly the weight
of one space shuttle rocket booster before ignition or 1,000 full
grown elephants.
Man are my arms gonna be tired!

What is this Soup Bowl event and why do people need so much food for it? It's just soup, people!
I don't envy you having to deal with all of those people. I'd explode. Hopefully, I'd take a few of 'em with me.
