SUPER BOWL SUNDAY IS *NOT* THE BIGGEST BEER-BUYING HOLIDAY:

2/8/2010


You might assume that since you and all your loser friends get completely hammered on Super Bowl Sunday, everyone else does too. But according to sales records based on a two-week period surrounding the Super Bowl, it seems that's NOT the case.


--If you don't believe me, check out this list of the biggest beer-buying holidays:


#7.) Super Bowl Sunday: 49.2 MILLION cases of beer sold


#6.) Halloween: 50.7 MILLION cases of beer sold


#5.) Christmas / New Year's: 52.8 MILLION cases of beer sold


#4.) Thanksgiving: 52.8 MILLION cases of beer sold


#3.) Labor Day: 60.2 MILLION cases of beer sold


#2.) Memorial Day: 61 MILLION cases of beer sold


#1.) Fourth of July: 63.5 MILLION cases of beer sold


--Still, Super Bowl Sunday IS the biggest day of the year for PIZZA sales.


--Pizza Hut was anticipating a 50% boost in sales because of the game. And according to a spokesman for Domino's, they expected to sell 9 MILLION "slices" yesterday, which is 44% more than a typical Sunday. (--Who buys a "slice" at Domino's? Is that even possible? Nice work on the "creative" math there, spokes-guy.) (CNBC / Arizona Republic)
