With the biggest game of the season only one week away, Wal-Mart has released its list of states that purchase the most “football food.” Determined by the number of purchases at Wal-Mart, these states have the edge when it comes to wings, pizza pies, chips, dips and snacks. Here’s the scoreboard:

1. Utah and Louisiana– lead the way in sales of both breaded and unbreaded chicken wings
2. Nebraska and South Dakota – ahead of the pack when it comes to frozen pizza pies
3. New Mexico and Virginia – prevail in the potato chip category
4. Kentucky and Louisiana – the dynamo in dip sales
5. South Dakota and Indiana – the superstars of the snack mixes
6. North and South Dakota – cheer for the mixed nuts

Whether customers are throwing a party for four or a party for 40, Wal-Mart has the game time playbook to help them plan their big game get-togethers. At Walmart.com/gametime, customers can create interactive shopping lists based on the amount of guests they plan to host, find delicious recipes and get advice on how to best prepare for a party that everyone will root for. The Web site also features the interactive game, “Time Out,” which is a great way for football fans and party-goers alike to warm up before kickoff.
