Day 12.024: Exile #2's Sunday Column #236

The main event of the day was, of course, the Super Bowl, a sporting event that half of the audience watches for the sports and half for the adverts. There is also a whole lot of eating. We heard some stats this morning that are fairly mind-boggling. On Super Bowl night, Americans will eat 1.3 billion wings, 2 million pizzas from Dominos alone, 3.8 million pounds of popcorn, and 88 million pounds of cheese. Goodness! We may have contributed to the wing total in a minor way (with some suitably American pumpkin pie for dessert) but judging by the numbers, we have not really been pulling our weight! Our local team, the Patriots did, however, winning fairly convincingly.
