Food has been associated with the Super Bowl since the beginning of time. Most of us will pack into a tiny living room with thirty or forty of our closest friends to watch the game. If you're lucky, you'll be watching your favorite team fight for the Lombardi Trophy, but for the rest of us, it's a celebration of the season that was, and the food involved is an integral part of the experience.

To the right, you can read through all of our fun facts, but here's some highlights:

Be there when it counts! An NFL broadcast consists of just 11 minutes of actual gameplay.

Get to the bathroom quick at halftime, the toilet will flush 90 million times during the break!

About 61 million people will attend a Super Bowl party. That's about 1 in 5 Americans that will be celebrating football!

Those funny ads you'll see on Super Sunday aren't cheap. An average 30 second ad costs $4 million.
