NANUET, N.Y., Feb. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For the first time in NFL history, the Big Game will fall on the day before Valentine’s Day, and a recent survey commissioned by Stop & Shop found that if East Coast residents could only celebrate one of the two upcoming holidays, they would choose a romantic Valentine’s day date for two (58%) over watching the Big Game with friends (42%).
The survey, which was taken by both men and women, looked at celebration and food preferences. Additional findings included:
- Respondents stated they’d rather spend money on a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner (61%) than a killer game day spread (39%)
- 51% said they will be staying home this Valentine’s Day, while 22% sent they would go out; 27% are still unsure of their plans.
- When it comes to indulgences, it’s a coin toss as 49% prefer salty and 51% sweet.
- For game day favorites such as wings, 43% of those surveyed prefer mild, 31% like it hot, 9% like them scorching and 17% just aren’t fans of wings.
- And for those who like boneless wings with their football, sorry, but 59% of people surveyed don’t consider boneless wings to be wings at all.
