CARTERVILLE (WSIL) — When the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers take the field this Super Bowl Sunday, millions will be tuning in. No football experience is complete without scrumptious snacks!
Online marketplace Bid-on-Equipment has gathered up Google stats on how the nation is eating this coming Sunday. According to the results, which compiled the most popular Google searches for each state across the country, as well as the top 20 largest cities, the Super Bowl is a day of eating meat, dip and more meat.
The analysis revealed Super Bowl fans across the country love their dips. Overall, dip was the most popular food or snack in 20 states, but seven layer dip took home the crown. In fact, seven layer dip was the most popular in seven states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Idaho, Illinois, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Texas.
Coming in at a close second is buffalo chicken dip, which was the most popular in six states, primarily in the Southwest, including Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Hawaii and Florida.
Even though dips made a strong showing in the Super Bowl food analysis, it’s the cocktail wiener that takes the trophy home for being No. 1 in the most amount of states. The cheap and easy cocktail weenie was the most popular in eleven different states including Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin.

On average, Americans spend about $69 on food, drinks, decorations or team merchandise for the game. However, when it comes to hosting a Super Bowl party the price tag more than doubles to $174.
Of course, not everyone will be hosting their own party, but there are plenty of other ways to watch the game. According to respondents, 43% plan to watch the game at home, 36% plan to go to a party, 7% will watch at a bar or restaurant and 15% plan to host a party at their home. Surprisingly, a quarter of respondents said they will only be watching the game to see the commercials, which have become a spectacle over the years.
