Americans to Eat a Record 1.4B Wings During Super Bowl

The National Chicken Council (NCC) released their annual Chicken Wing Report, and they're thinking Americans are going to consume a record number of wings during Super Bowl weekend, eating over 1.4 billion chicken wings.

The report said their prediction is 2% higher than last year, meaning 27 million more wings will theoretically be eaten this year.

1.4 billion wings is a lot of wings. I couldn't wrap my mind around how many that wings was, so naturally it's time to do some math.

If one person ate three wings per minute, it would take them about 900 years to eat 1.4 billion wings.
If every player in the NFL were to try and accomplish the record, they would have to each ate 825,0000 wings a piece.
1.4 billion wings would circle the earth 3 times.
It's enough wings to give every attendee of every Super Bowl since 1967 each 34 wings.
If each wing was counted a second, it would take 45 years.
