It’s time to talk about some Super Bowl fun facts. Only thing is these types of rumors aren’t verified and need to be taken with a little tongue in cheek.

List of Fun Facts & Information Regarding the Super Bowl

Flushing

You and everybody else is glued to the television set watching the big game and then it happens: halftime. Everyone runs to use the facilities at the same time. Causing your city water usage to run out of control. In 1984, a water main broke in Salt Lake City on Super Bowl Sunday. Everyone thought it was due to the over-usage during halftime. However, no real connection was ever found.

Avocado

Cinco de Mayo is the number one day for avocado usage, but the Super Bowl is a close second. The game just wouldn’t be the same without a little guacamole to get the party started.

Disneyland

So you don’t like sports and your kids have been dying to go to Disneyland. What better day right? Most would think that there will be no one else in their right mind who would want to skip the Big Game. Shorter lines would definitely be worth it, if you aren’t a fan. Unfortunately you aren’t alone. Disney says traffic does not go down significantly on game day.
