The Big Game On Sunday

With the Super Bowl coming up on Sunday, the Calorie Control Council provides some tips on how to make the best of what can be a calorie and fat laden day:

"The Calorie Control Council recommends pre-planning your Super Bowl event and menu to include no-fat and low-fat dips and chips. For instance, choosing fat-free potato chips for the big game could save up to 300 calories per person. And, nationwide, fat-free potato chips, could even cut 14 billion calories and 1.8 billion fat grams from our snack attacks."

And check out some of these stats!!!

"...research reveals that potato chips, the snacking favorite, will account for 27 billion calories and 1.8 billion fat grams. These 1.8 billion fat grams nationwide are the same as 4 million pounds of fat. That 4 million pounds of fat is equal to the weight of 13,000 NFL offensive linemen at 300 pounds each."

That's a lot of offensive lineman!

Meanwhile, I have no idea who is going to win the game (I hear the Patriots haven't lost all season), but Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force has definite ideas on who will win. He's pulling for "Big Blue," no not IBM, but the New York Giants. Check out the video below:
