It was estimated that the average 30-second Super Bowl commercial cost $4 million in 2013 and 2014. There is little reason to think those numbers would be down in 2015. But companies are getting their money’s worth. For the Super Bowl alone, families planned to spend $80 and $82 in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Put it this way, the economy as a whole is benefiting.

In fact, it was estimated in 2013 that American shoppers spent $12.3 billion on food (most notably chicken wings, chips with avocado and and pizza). New television sets also tend to be purchased in advance of the big game.

All in all, it sounds like a good time. It is the male’s holiday, because frankly how many males, especially 30 years or older, don’t enjoy sitting down on the couch to watch football, drink beer, eat wings, chips and pizza while watching football?

Nothing is more American in 2015 than the Super Bowl, especially for men. But women can certainly enjoy it because of the commercials, the halftime show and yeah, the food.
