Clever. Pay for a survey about Super Bowl eating habits, get free publicity, get your brand associated with “healthy” and “Super Bowl”.
SUBWAY Restaurants, which has long been committed to promoting “better-for-you” meal options among both children and adults, conducted an Omnibus survey of more than 1,000 Americans regarding their Game Day snack consumption habits and learned they overeat the most during the Big Game (27%)–trailing only Thanksgiving (85%) and Christmas (61%). More than half surveyed (59%) admitted to overeating during the Big Game and reported gorging themselves on nachos, fried chicken, chicken wings, pizza and other generic “junk food.”
Methodology: An Omnibus survey conducted a telephone survey on behalf of SUBWAY(R) Restaurants of a nationally representative probability sample of households; 1,090 interviews were completed among adults ages 18+ (53 percent female, 47 percent male). Interviewing took place January 7-9, 2008.
