But wait a second. According to data collected by the NPD Group during the most recent three Super Bowls, the top Super Bowl Sunday food is not chicken wings or pizza, but vegetables. Equally surprising is what many fans seemed willing to trade for all the tea in China: Tea ranked last on NPD Group's Top 10 Super Bowl Sunday Food and Drink list whereas beer remained altogether absent from the list.

Top 10 List of Super Bowl Sunday foods and drinks, which included items popular with consumers year-round: Vegetables; potatoes; carbonated soft drinks; total salty snacks; sandwiches; salads; chicken; milk; pizza and tea.
