Football Food Forecast: Chilly with a Chance of Chips and Dip
More than 99 million people tuned into last year’s Big Game. With a 2023 match-up certain to bring plenty of eyeballs to television sets, Shipt has prepared a list of entertaining tips and crowd-pleaser snacks to ensure you’re prepared for the day with the help of our friends at PepsiCo.
Shipt customers' Big Game orders from years past show the following foods are MVPs for watch parties:
Tortilla chips
Salsa
Queso
Cream cheese
Soda
No huge surprises with the most popular snacks, but hey, classics are classics. What could be new to the scene? Based on recent Shipt sales, customers are looking to shake it up a bit. We’re seeing subcategories like Asian Sauces, Soy & Fish Sauce, Teriyaki, Curry, and Enchilada Sauce trending upward. With consumers continuing to purchase global flavors outside of the traditional buffalo and barbeque sauce, we predict Big Game snack spreads will feature an array of global tastes across products like chips, wing sauces, dips and more. Add something new to your spread this year and your guests will thank you!
Need some ideas on more snacks that your guests will love? Shipt has some quick and easy items that are sure to please:
Chips, chips, and more chips. You can never have too many! We’re forecasting that Tostito’s Corn Chips, another amazing product from PepsioCo, will be a top favorite this year. Shipt delivered more than 20,000 bags in just four days last year for the Big Game!
Nachos and dips are a crowd pleaser. Create a toppings bar for guests to build their own nachos. Our friends at Tostitos have the recipes ready for you.
A healthier spread for those still holding onto New Year’s resolutions. Pair your favorite dip or hummus with a tray of carrots, celery, and other veggies for a healthy option that still delivers. Or, create a fresh, bite-sized veggie snack with this step-by-step recipe for cherry tomato and avocado salad cups featuring Tostito’s Scoops.
Don’t forget the drinks. Last year we saw a spike of more than 10% in soda purchases– grab some Mountain Dew, Pepsi, and Bubly sparkling water and have them chilled when guests arrive.
Shipt can have your order to you in as little as an hour, but why wait? Pick your favorite items and have them delivered the day before so party prep is a breeze. Plus from January 31 until February 10, Shipt is offering $2 off $12 for many big game favorites. Learn more here.
