Super Bowl Sunday might as well be classified as an American holiday.
Honestly, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Football for the actual fans, superstar halftime performances for music lovers, and multi-million dollar commercials that rival anything opening in the box office that weekend.
I feel like I’m forgetting something…
Oh yea! Tons of food! Like enough food to get double the amount of calories in your average bulker’s diet plan.
Seriously, the calorie count of the average American during the day of the Super Bowl rivals that of any major holiday in the calendar year, including Thanksgiving.
