In honour of Super Bowl XLVI, set to take place tomorrow night, here's a few crazy facts about this famous game:
- A 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl costs 3.5 million dollars, which is $400,000 more than last year!
- Originally, the NFL Commissioner, Pete Rozelle, wanted to call the Super Bowl, "The Big One."
- The estimated number of chicken wings eaten on Super Bowl Sunday is 1 billion.
- Of the top ten most watched American television programs of all time, nine of them are Super Bowls.
- 8 million pounds of guacamole is eaten during the Super Bowl, and 14,500 tons of chips are eaten along with the guacamole.
- Both teams playing in the Super Bowl (New York Giants and New England Patriots) have won three Super Bowls before.
- No footage of the first Super Bowl exists - apparently some guy taped over it!
