Superbowl: What It Means To Me

So as im sitting here, about to watch the superbowl, I realized that Im about to experience another superbowl, like millions of other people around the world.

After pondering this for a few minutes, while staring at the spread in front of me (buffalo chicken dip, two kinds of chips, salsa, hotdogs wrapped in bacon, mozerella sticks, ranch and hot sauce (can you say fat??)), and SEVEN cases of beer, I thought about what it is that makes the superbowl exciting, and why so many people watch it.

First of all, the commercials. Half the people that tune in to watch the superbowl could honestly care less about the game itself. Id bet that half the people watching done even know whos watching, let alone root for one team over the other. Companys are paying some outrageous amount of money, for a quick 30 seconds of commercial time.

Secondly, people watch for the food. Coming from my own spread of food (okay, im not LITERALLY alone, im with a group of people), the food during the superbowl is SO DANK, that you cant help but use the superbowl as an excuse to max out on food.

Finally, there are a large amount of people that actually watch for the game. Personally, the BEARS should have been in the superbowl, so I could care less who wins, but I guess some people actually care, and are die hard fans for either the Packers or the Steelers.

In the meantime, Ill be maxing out on delcious food, and waiting for commercial breaks.
