1,380,000,000 - Americans are expected to eat 1.38 billion chicken wings during the game, according to the National Chicken Council. That's 27 million more than last year. That's 4 wings for every man, woman, and child in the United States. If one wing were eaten (somehow) every second, it'd take one person 44 years to eat them all. If all the wings were laid end-to-end, it'd stretch back and forth between Gillette Stadium (home of the Patriots) and Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (home of the Rams) 28 times. Or circle the Earth three times.
