Consider this: Super Bowl Sunday is the second leading day for food consumption in the US behind Thanksgiving. And listen to these game day estimates: - 14,500 tons of chips - 8 million pounds of guacamole - 4000 tons of popcorn - 1.25 BILLION chicken wings - Beer sales go up around $17.9 million over the weekend - The sale of antacids goes up by nearly 20% the day after the Super Bowl So where do they get the wings? According to NPD Group data for the year ending November, 2011, the top five restaurant categories to order chicken wings throughout the year (accounting for over 90 percent of all wing orders) are: 1. Casual Dining Restaurants: 33 percent of all chicken wing restaurant orders 2. Pizza places: 26 percent 3. Chicken places: 16 percent 4. Mid-priced full service restaurants: 9 percent 5. Food stores: 8 percent With all that said, where will you be consuming your wings this weekend? \- Erik MacPherson, Guest Blogger, [tmc digital media](https://www.tmcdigitalmedia.com) \*Credit: LinchpinSEO for Infograph ## Read On [![Water Filtration](https://blog.eaton-marketing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Stock%20images/collection%20of%20various%20water%20splashes%20on%20white%20background.%20each%20one%20is%20shot%20separately.jpeg?width=352&name=collection%20of%20various%20water%20splashes%20on%20white%20background.%20each%20one%20is%20shot%20separately.jpeg)](https://blog.eaton-marketing.com/foodservice/what-foodservice-consultants-should-know-about-water-filtration) ### [What Foodservice Consultants Should Know About Water Filtration](https://blog.eaton-marketing.com/foodservice/what-foodservice-consultants-should-know-about-water-filtration) One of the most important pieces of restaurant equipment is the water filtration system.
