Welcome to the weekend when Americans go junk food crazy.  You go in to just about any store in the Southern Tier and you're going to find shelves stocked with junk food especially for Super Bowl weekend.  But how much food will we be slamming to our waistlines this weekend?

According to the Calorie Control Council, roughly 11.2 millions pounds of potato chips, 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips, 3.8 million pounds of popcorn, and 2.5 million pounds of nuts.  Actually the nuts are the healthiest out of the bunch.

Altogether, we'll eat about 30 million pounds of snacks this weekend alone. The average Superbowl viewer will scarf down 1,200 calories and 50 grams of fat in snacks alone.
