With the Super Bowl around the corner I’m excited to make some delicious appetizers and snacks to enjoy while we watch the game. While Dave enjoys actually watching the football game, I’m more partial to the commercials and half-time show. Even so we still enjoy good food while we are tuned in.
I was amazed to learn:
- Over Super Bowl weekend, approximately 100 million pounds of guacamole will be eaten.
- It takes more than 220,000 football fields worth of farmland to grow all those avocados.
- If all the guacamole consumed during the Super Bowl were spread across the football field, it would measure a depth of 11.8 feet
Guacamole is one of our favorite game day recipes and these stats are impressive!
Guacamole has become such an undeniable Super Bowl sensation that an avocado company is investing millions on the first ever guacamole-centric 30 second Super Bowl ad for this year’s big game.
Blimpie, America’s Sub Shop, has taken notice, too, and they’re ready to help Super Bowl fans bring (and enjoy) their avocado A-game. They’ve recently released the perfect game-day guacamole recipe and they’re gearing up to roll out a brand new line of guacamole-filled flatbread sandwiches, set to hit stores on February 2nd.
I’m excited to share this Game Day Guacamole Recipe and look forward to serving it on Super Bowl Sunday:
Blimpie’s Game Day Guac Recipe
- 2 ripe avocados

Mmmm. Tasty
That looks delicious. I love guacamole.
This sounds good and something I will have to try for game day tomorrow.
I love fauc in fact I love it so much I dont need chips . You could hand me the bowl amd a spoon and I would be a happy camper. We dont much get avaacados that are any good most are either so under or over ripe they dont taste very good. I have always been a bit green with kealousy of all the folks living where they can have a tree.
This looks like a great guacamole recipe. Thanks! I’ll be making this on our next taco night.
I just recently tried some guacamole. I liked it. I have to try this.
This looks delicious. If there is one thing I love is avacados and in particular guacamole . I wil be making my version and your version too! Hey you can go wrong wit plenty of guacamole !
This recipe sounds delicious. I will definitely give it a try.
We love guacamole. Thank you for the great recipe! Can’t wait to make this.
I looooooove avocado and guacamole! If you like Pico De Gallo you can make some of that and mix a little into your avocado and get a little spicier version since Pico De Gallo is the same ingredients but with some jalapeno and cilantro added. Good stuff!!
Yum! Love guacamole! Your recipe looks good, but my favorite is very plain guacamole…just avocados, lime juice, and salt.

I have everything that this recipe calls for in make Game Day Guacamole. I will be making some of this and putting on my Nachos! Can not wait for the big game!
Not a fan of avocados so won’t be using this one but will pass on to those in my circle that love it
I like avocados any which way and especially in a good guacamole. I like cilantro so would add a touch of it to this.
I love the recipe it seems so healthy, but I wonder how it would be for an avocado newbie
