This figure represents an increase of 2 percent compared to the sale of last year, that is, 84 million wings further.

“There are a lot of stories going into the game, Andy Reid against his old team, the Kelce brothers battle, [Patrick] Mohammed vs [Jalen] Hurts, but no history of the Super Bowl is better than the wings!”
